Who doesn’t know that cats are smarter than us?
Cats always act weird. You’d be ducking for cover daily if you depended on them.
They felt the P wave
So based on responses, my red Heeler has the same amount of street cred as an earthquake around the cat community.
Awww, so funny!
Cats are beautiful and wonderful animals, maybe as smart as doggos but they express it in a different way. I have the flame retardant suit on. Fire away.
I once touched a faucet and felt a very brief but strange sensation. Immediately, I thought, “Hmm. I wonder if we are about to have an earthquake.” There was an earthquake within an hour.
It is difficult to know what the animals are reacting to, but it is likely that we would react also, if we didn’t have our minds so occupied with a ton of other stuff that we hardly notice when something is slightly off in the natural world around us.
I was a young kid and still in high school lived in cali. My parents had 2 cats. I was in my room and they came in creeping and close to the ground. Then it hit.
An earthquake or a cucumber.
Sorry to be a party pooper, but the cats are clearly reacting to a sound that can be heard on the video before the earthquake hits.
So is it a café for cats or a café for people who want cats to sit with them or what?
My dachshund could detect earthquakes the day before they hit. No joke.
We are told to always go to the most secure room in the house when a tornado or hurricane or other disaster strikes.
Most are told that that room is a bathroom (with no windows).
So, how the heck do my cats (and perhaps all other cats) know to go hide under the toilet every time they hear thunder? Who told them about that bathroom are the safest place in the house?

The Cat in the lower left is the only one that stayed put. The most cool headed cat of them all.
Later
Scare.dee.cats!
At the time, I was standing on a concrete floor -- and the P wave slapped the soles of my feet as if someone had hit them with a sledgehammer.
My work partner barely had time to say, "Earthquake!!" when the S (shear) wave hit and things started swaying from side to side.
Yep, it was the P (compressive) wave that woke the cats; the earthquake was just farther away... And, the S-waves really rattled their cages...
“Moments before the café started to shake, the cats seem to react to a loud noise or a thump.”
Moments before the humans in the café noticed it starting to shake, the cats seem to react to a loud noise or a thump.
Fixed it.
How is it that the earthquake only started once the humans noticed it?
Maybe it actually started when the CATS noticed it.
NOT mysterious.
P wave and S wave.
Guess you P yourself then S yourself?
