Bella, a moggie cat from Cambridgeshire, sets new Guniess World Record for ‘Loudest Purr by a Domestic Cat’

Bella, a 14-year-old moggie cat from Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, has broken the record for the loudest purr by a domestic cat. She achieved a purr which measured an astonishing 54.6 decibels - equivalent to the volume of a boiling kettle.
Whiskas is on a mission to make all cats purr more, so when they heard that Bella was a fan, they set out to see if their cat food could help her break the Guinness World Record title and secure the coveted title of the loudest purr.
Nicole Spink, Bella’s proud owner, said: “We’ve always known Bella had a really loud purr – we even have to turn up the volume to hear the TV over her purring – and that’s always after mealtimes. So, when we saw that the record for the World’s Loudest Purr was up for grabs, we knew we had to put Bella forward, and we’re so pleased we did! I couldn’t be more thrilled that Bella has broken the world record. She has been our family’s companion for many years - we love her to bits and are so proud of her achievement.”
Following a rigorous process, Guinness World Records recorded Bella’s attempt to beat the existing world record and, after Bella’s purrfect entry, there was no doubt as to the result.
Dave Wilson, the official adjudicator who oversaw Bella’s record-breaking attempt, remarked: “It’s always an exciting day when there is the potential for a new world record so we wait
