3. Cats Responding to Earthquake Vibrations

Reports have indicated that cats may exhibit restlessness, hiding, or fleeing behaviors prior to seismic events. While the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) discusses feline behavior in various contexts, it does not specifically address cats’ responses to earthquakes. However, general feline behavior studies suggest that cats are sensitive to environmental changes, and such behaviors could be indicative of their response to impending seismic activity. (aaha.org)
