It is definitely Bella's house rather than our house

I'm Nicole and this is Bella. Bella is
14 years old. She's a very lazy girl
0:12
She's an old lady so we'll air her off. We've always
thought that Bella had the loudest purr in the world
0:17
She is such a loud girl. You sit there watching TV in the
evening and you have to turn the TV up so you can actually hear
0:26
She loves a cuddle and she also loves food. Bella purrs
so loud when she has a bowl of whiskers in front of her
0:37
The attempt must take place in a dead room
to remove any reflection or outside noise
0:44
The decibel meter must be one meter away
from the cat and one meter from the ground
0:49
The minimum requirement for this record is 50 decibels air-weighted. I was pretty
confident this morning that she'd break the world record for the loudest purr
0:57
I fed Bella her bowl of whiskers and then we were ready
to start our attempt so I brought her into the room
1:05
This is an official attempt for
the loudest purr by a domestic cat
1:09
Nicole, Bella, are you ready? Yes we are. Let's go. The minimum
that you had to achieve today was 50 decibels air-weighted
1:30
I can now confirm that you achieved 54.6 decibels
air-weighted. Congratulations, you are officially amazing
1:39
I'm so proud of Bella for breaking
the record. She's absolutely perfect
1:47
It's going to have a really prominent place in the house.
We're going to choose which child's photo to take down first
