Smokey the cat is thought to have the loudest purr in the world, which revs up as loud as a lawnmower. Most cats purr at about 25 decibels, but Smokey’s purring averages 80 decibels, and often goes up to 92–that’s equivalent to the noise of a lawnmower or hair dryer!
And while we’re at it, do you know why cats purr? Read Why do Cats Purr? after the video.

My cat purrs all the time, she purred so much as a kitten when we first saw her that we HAD to buy her!
Wow .... now that IS a purr to be proud of!
Lol!
How awesome! Another report said it's been hard to find a permanent home for Smokey, perhaps someone hard of hearing would love to finally hear a kitty purr : )
