Meet Merlin. He may or may not be a wizard, but he does purr louder than any other cat.
The 13-year-old feline, who was adopted from a rescue centre as a kitten, received the Guinness World Record for the loudest cat purr this week. His purr, which appears to hit 100 decibels on an iPhone app in the video, was certified at 67.8 decibels for the Guinness record. The previous record of 67.68 decibels was set in 2011, according to the organisation.
Owner Tracy Westwood didn’t think much of Merlin’s purr until she learned about the previous record holder, she says in the video. It was her New Year’s resolution this year to see if Merlin could beat the record.
Westwood is proud of her cat, but he can cause some inconveniences. If hes cleaning [himself] he gets louder and sometimes if the telephone rings I do get people asking me whats that noise in the background,” she told Guinness. “I tell them its the cat but I dont know if they believe me.”
Research has shown that the particular frequency of cats’ purring has a therapeutic effect on the humans nearby. Forget the anti-depressants adopt a cat!
If you find one who can purr like Merlin, you can benefit when he’s on the opposite side of the house. Check out the many gorgeous, curative, purring cats for adoption on http://PetFinder.my.
