A cat is said to have "predicted" the earthquake that rocked Australia moments before it struck the city of Melbourne.

In a video shared on Twitter on Wednesday (September 22), a white moggy called Carol is playing with a vibrating toy fish when she suddenly becomes alert and stops what she is doing.

The feline then stands up and casually walks over to a doorway and sits down.

Her owner says the shaking began just seconds later and shared a photo of a framed picture that crashed down onto the spot where Carol was playing.

In the caption, her owner Brodie Lancaster says: "Not a joke: the earthquake started as I was filming Carol playing with her new floppy fish toy.
