Ella is loud; if she's purring, it's easy to hear her in the next room. But she's not THAT loud!

Just as a point of interest, I think 92 decibels at 18 inches is the recommended maximum for proposed exhaust noise legislation for motorcycles and hot rods.

Never put a meter on our "Sam", but I'll bet she'll give Smokey a run for the decibels.

Hmmmm. I don't know about the loudness of my kitties' purrs, but as a Meezer owner I think Polly's voice could give Smokey a run for her money.

I've been meaning to get a video of her talking. My camera is dead right now. I'm going to charge it up and take some video tomorrow, I think.

ETA: Maybe it's my speakers or something, but Smokey doesn't sound loud. The decibels speak for themselves, though.

Pretty loud purr and such a pretty kitty! I would say Magilla has the loudest purr of my group

That is the strangest sounding purr I've ever heard! I've never heard any of my cats purr like that.

I saw that before, but I don't think that is a purr.

It sounds to me like its just an unusual meow using the vocal cords, which is why it can register so loud. Purring I thought was really just spasms of the diaphragm.

When Abby is really into a cuddle session, that's what she sounds like. A trill-cooing sound, and drooling!
