Bella has secured the Guinness World Record for the loudest purr of any living domestic cat.
When Nicole Spink and her family gather around the TV at night, they always have to crank up the volume. That's because their cat, Bella, purrs so loudly, it drowns everything else out.
The 14-year-old kitty, known to her family as Queen Bella, has claimed another crown. Guinness World Records has certified Bella's purr ashost Nil Köksal. "She's always been such a lovely cat, and she deserves the claim to fame." According to Guinness, Bella's record was confirmed at her Huntingdon, England, home by "independent specialist sound engineers," who recorded her using a sound level recorder held one metre from her mouth and one metre from the ground.
Her kitty motor clocked in at 54.59 decibels — "which is kind of the equivalent of, like, a kettle boiling noise," Spink said. "She's always been loud."When the cat purred over the phone for CBC Radio, she cycled between a gentle hum and a sputtering wheeze, punctuated with loud, roar-like peaks.It's not always a welcome noise during TV time, but Bella's soothing soundtrack has brought many benefits to the Spink household.
Nicole Spink says Bella's purrs helped put her children to sleep at night when they were babies. They briefly hopped onto the call with their mom to express their immense pride for Queen Bella and explain how they have been telling all their friends, and even their teachers, about her record-setting feat.
