Can Cats sense Earthquakes and other disaters

[counter]

Cats and dogs are able to hear a wider range of sounds. A normal human can hear sounds ranging in frequency from 20Hz to 23 KHz, while a cat can hear sounds which range from 45 Hz to 64KHz.

Yes but maybe animals just can feel it some how without scientific explanations? Like how birds know where to fly when they need to due the weather changing..

That is interesting indeed.  I suspect if domesticated animals can have such heightened senses then wild animals are likely to be in the same boat but probably have an even higher ability too be aware of such events.

Sitting on the couch watching tv while the cats sleep on the bed. All of a sudden their heads go up like gophers and take of running. Next thing I know a 5.1 earthquake struck here in California. I though it was so crazy that my cats felt the quake before it happened.

It is really not that unusual for animals to be able to sense that kind of events. Their senses are much more sharp than senses of ordinary human. They can hear better and feel micro shocks of incoming earthquakes.

I heard cats have feelings for humans... noooo I'm joking !
People that love cats are very submissive most of the time as they are the everyday slave of their cat(s).

Agree to you. Dogs have owners, cats have slaves. but cats in comparison with dogs live their own life, they don't miss you as dogs do and don't demand your love and care so much. You won't hurt a cat by your everlasting absence. It will always feel fine.

Of course cats miss u when you're gone. Everyday my cat wakes up just minutes before the time my wife arrives home from work. When she comes in the door, my cat start meowing none stop until my wife stops to give him some attention. Yes, my cat misses my wife and is very happy when she comes home.

lool that's what the cat want you to believe.

The cat just want the free food and do the least possible.

You work for him... for free.

Well ,when you decide to have a pet,doesn't matter if is a cat or dog ,you have to know that it comes with responsibility and money spend on food,toys etc.That doesn't meat you work for them …...and if it was really that then a my cat works for me too when it makes me laugh and distress me.

Animals are smart they tend to run away far faster than humans when a disaster appears

In an earthquake, there is a p-wave, which is the preliminary shake, and the s-wave, the secondary shaking. The p-wave in an earthquake isn't as strong generally as the s-wave, but can be more obviously felt. Especially by cats, who're vibration sensitive.

Not sure about cats but dogs do. My dogs always start acting strange when bad weather is coming my cats do nothing.
