Tabitha the Seismograph

I noticed this morning that there was a small (3.8) quake in Southern California last night. According to a site I found elsewhere this morning, Recent Earthquakes in California, there have been 275 in California and Nevada in the past week. All were below 4.0 on the Richter scale, and I certainly haven't noticed.

However, my cat Tabitha was a particular shade of cranky last night, and has been that bad only a few times since we moved here. She's a cranky loner animal to begin with, and displayed similar behavior in Boston on countless occasions.

Now she just has a convenient excuse to be a brat.
