LONDON — It's official: Smokey the cat has roared her way into Guinness World Records having achieved the loudest purr by a domestic cat.

Guinness says the gray-and-white tabby earned her place with record-setting 67.7 decibels. In a video on the cat's website, the 12-year-old, ordinary-size feline purrs with a sound akin to the cooing of an angry dove.

Video here.

For comparison, a lawnmower is 90 dB.:lol:

I think part of that has to do with the relatively high pitch of that cat's pur. Most tend to hit a low note if you will when they purr.

Very loud though.
