Can Cats sense Earthquakes and other disaters

[hackjack]

I heard cats can sense all types of dangers, like they have sixth sense like spider man?

Not sure about cats but I think some dogs can be trained to sense oncoming epileptic seizures: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seizure_response_dog

yeah, sure cat feels it and runs like hell to save his own ass Longitudinal waves travel through the Earth faster than transverse waves, and the longitudinal waves hit first. Transverse waves are responsible for most of the shaking and damage...

Maybe earthquakes not so sure about "other diasters".  I think spiders can sense earthquakes but not sure if you care heh, just thought it was worth a mention.

It  could feel the P-Waves or Primary Waves. These are much less noticeable than S-Waves or Secondary Waves and Surface Waves which occur a short time later in that order.

But the time window between cats reaction and disaster is actually very small and depends on the position of the epicenter.
It's not like you're going to see cats flee from the city 1 week before the disaster.

What about this cat death detector?

They sense everything, but they won't get off their asses unless they think they're getting food out of the deal.

This cat is not a disaster.
I don't believe that they can sense Earthquakes, nor have I heard of such a thing yet.

Pretty sure that there is evidence that some animals have this gift
DIdn't birds, dogs etc seek higher ground well before the Tsunami hit in 2004?

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.

I never asked them, neither they told me that they do.

Cats, along with other domestic and wild animals, seem to sense impending natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis. Scientists can't fully explain this phenomenon. However they emphasize this isn't a paranormal sixth sense but an example of how animals receive sensory data beyond the range of human perception
