9. Loudest Purr by a Domestic Cat Ever
In a remarkable coincidence, two cats from the UK, separated by four years, managed to achieve the same incredibly loud purr of 67.8 decibels—an astonishing feat in the feline world! The first to make this noise was Smokey, who earned recognition in 2011, followed by Merlin, who matched the record in 2015. Their purring was so powerful that it could rival the sound of a motorboat, making these two cats true contenders in the competition for the loudest motor.
While most cats purr at much quieter levels, Smokey and Merlin’s thunderous purrs proved that some felines have a truly unique and extraordinary ability to make their voices heard—at volumes that could be heard even over the hum of engines!
