Stories about animals and birds sensing storms and earthquakes abound in the aftermath of natural disasters. Following the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, videos purportedly depicting this phenomenon in action have gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amidst this one video shows a group of cats at a pet store waking up and running across the room, as if panicked.

According to the description \u201cIncredible video shows a group of cats&#8217; before and after reaction of an earthquake that happened in Northern Osaka, Japan on June 18, 2018.The cat cafe is called Neko cafe Catchy. The footage begins a few seconds before the quake showing a typical day at the cafe before opening hours, with cats curled up in their favourite spots. But a few seconds later the kitties appear to sense impending doom and raise their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The footage ignited a debate about whether cats are able to sense earthquakes. None of the cats were injured in the incident and the cafe praised their &#8221;cleverness&#8221; while reminding people that all of the cats are available for adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Cats Sense Impending Earthquake\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/26LVYRh3zQg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We later searched for more information about the incident and discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2018\/jun\/18\/osaka-earthquake-japan-61-magnitude-tremor\">reports<\/a>. On 18 June, 2018, an earthquake measuring 6.1 magnitude struck the Japanese coastal city of Osaka and surrounding areas. It killed three people and injured over 200 others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Cat+Cafe+Catch\/@34.2521239,135.1465908,20z\/data=!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x0:0xb9e33c2406212a68!2sCat+Cafe+Catch!8m2!3d34.2521239!4d135.1469035!3m4!1s0x0:0xb9e33c2406212a68!8m2!3d34.2521239!4d135.1469035\">Google Maps<\/a> to find the cafe, which is in Wakayama, a city in Japan&#8217;s Kansai region. The Google Maps images of the cafe matched the interior seen in the viral video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per this information the video was from the pet cafe in Osaka, Japan, and was captured by the surveillance camera in the store. It reportedly showed the cats reacting to an earthquake that shook the region on 18 June, 2018.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong>&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the viral video to be <strong>Misleading<\/strong>. According to reports from the time the viral video was shot at a pet cafe in Osaka, Japan, and depicts cats reacting to an earthquake that struck the region on 18 June, 2018.
