The earth is moving and causes the rumble, but not always is it heard. I lived on the second floor in an apartment and it was like a microphone I could hear every quake before it hit.

Why did people hear a lound rumble before the shaking began in christchurch earthquake?

The loud rumble heard before shaking during the Christchurch earthquake was likely caused by the seismic waves created as the Earth's crust shifted. The waves can generate low-frequency sounds that travel faster than the shaking itself, reaching people before the actual ground movement begins.

Why did people hear a loud rumble before the shaking began in christchurch?

P waves are also faster than S waves, and this fact is what allows us to tell where an earthquake was. To understand how this works, let's compare P and S waves to lightning and thunder. Light travels faster than sound, so during a thunderstorm you will first see the lightning and then you will hear the thunder. If you are close to the lightning, the thunder will boom right after the lightning, but if you are far away from the lightning, you can count several seconds before you hear the thunder. The further you are from the storm, the longer it will take between the lightning and the thunder. P waves are like the lightning, and S waves are like the thunder. The P waves travel faster and shake the ground where you are first. Then the S waves follow and shake the ground also. If you are close to the earthquake, the P and S wave will come one right after the other, but if you are far away, there will be more time between the two.

No, cats hear very well with their ears. They do not hear with their feet. They may also react to anything that causes the ground to rumble, and may feel that with their feet, but that is not the same as hearing with their feet.
