  • CCTV Shows How Cats Can Sense Earthquakes Before They Hit [Video]

    When they’re not out to bring the disrespect, hog attention and embarrass their owners with their douchebaggery, cats can play nice.

    They can also be quite clever, as in smart-minded and smart alecks.

    In this case, these cats ditched their smarmy ways for sensible thinking while being caught up in an earthquake.

    The Huffington Post reports that a 6,1 magnitude earthquake hit Osaka, Japan last month.

    A CCTV camera from the nearby CAT Cafe CATchy managed to catch its feline inhabitants on tape when the earthquake went down:

    Odd, huh?

    As y’all can see, the cats are running a full 10 seconds before any visible shaking hits. Could it be that the cats sensed the earthquake before it actually happened?

    The report says it’s a possibility:

    There have been reports over the years of some animals acting odd or fleeing earthquakes.

    While it’s never been proved that animals can sense quakes before they strike, one theory is that they might feel very minor “p wave” shaking that would be imperceptible to humans.

    That’s some pure witchcraft right there.

    Then again, Japan’s early warning might have something to do with these kitties high-tailing out:

    Japan has an earthquake early warning system that pushes alerts and triggers alarms seconds before the shaking starts, so it’s also possible the cats heard something that wasn’t picked up by the camera’s microphone.

    Plausible, but I’m still banking on some cat magic.

    I’ll pay attention to my neighbour’s cat the next time impending disaster rolls along.
