PURRING FOR ENGLAND

From CBS12 NEWS:

A gray-and-white tabby by the name of Smokey has cat-apulted to fame with purring so loud it has been recorded at a potentially record-setting 73 decibels. The British community college that measured the sound said it peaked at 16 times louder than that of the average cat. By some estimates, that is about as noisy as busy traffic, a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner.

Recordings of Smokey have been submitted
to the Guinness World Records.




Thanks to Paul(A) for sending in this story.

  2. It seems to have been quiet on all the blogs I haunt :( Not many commenting anywhere. Don't know why.

  3. Gustav heard the purring and started looking for the other cat which he was quite certain was in this room with me. Gus is a jealous kitty. :)
