Animal sensitivity to vibrations?

[wnylib]

5. Several years ago when I lived in Cleveland,

in a ground floor apartment, I felt the same sensation that you described. The room felt like it was swaying. A tall, revolving bookshelf in my living room vibrated and swayed. I did not know what it was. Never been to California and it was before I moved to western NY.

A few minutes after the incident, Cleveland radio and TV reported that a quake centered in Cincinnati measured at about 4.5 I think. It did minor to moderate damage in Cincinnati, like broken windows, fallen chimneys, shattered dishes. But it was felt over a large range, involving several states.

Today's quake in the Buffalo area had a much smaller range, confined to Buffalo, some of its suburbs, and just over the border in Canada. I am near Buffalo, but not in its suburbs. I am some miles outside of the range of the quake. So it surprised me that my cat apparently sensed it, although nobody in my area felt it.
