Edinburgh cat records world's loudest purr according to owners

An Edinburgh couple say their seven-year-old cat has broken the Guinness world record for loudest purr – just days after an English cat made it into the history books.

Craig and Debbie Stephens from Portobello claim their cat Tiggy has smashed the record for the loudest purr by a living cat after they recorded their pet belting out a whopping 66.1 decibel purr.

Craig and Debbie have sent the video to the Guinness world records, requesting that an adjudicator visits Tiggy so he can claim his title.
