Bella the cat breaks 'loudest purr' world record
By Rachael McMenemy & PA MediaBBC News, Cambridgeshire
A 14-year-old cat has broken the Guinness World Record for the loudest purr - from the comfort of her favourite cushion.
Bella, from Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, achieved a purr measuring 54. 6 decibels, equivalent to the volume of a boiling kettle.
Her feat was captured by an official adjudicator and an acoustic engineer who blocked out all external noise.
Nicole Spink, Bella's owner, said she " couldn't be more thrilled".
" She has been Our Family 's companion for many years - we love her to bits and are so proud of her achievement, " Ms Spink said.
Dave Wilson , the official Guinness World Records adjudicator who oversaw Bella's record-breaking attempt, said: " It's always an exciting day when there is the potential for a new World Record so we waited in anticipation to see whether Bella would be able to do it. "
Bella needed to purr louder than 50 decibels to achieve the record and Mr Wilson said " the results were immediately obvious".
Ms Spink 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. "
She Said The Certificate would get a " really prominent place in the house".
" We're going to have to choose which child's photos to Take Down first, " She Said .
