- When the cat sits on the hearth washing his face it is the sign of rain.
Another sign of rain is to see the cat sitting on the hearth with his back to the fire.
If the sheep flock together in a sheltry place in the evening it is a sign of bad weather. When the cat scrapes the table it is another sign of rain.
If the frogs are croaking late in the morning it is the sign of bad weather.
Another sign of rain is the horse to be dull and sleepy.
If the ass is standing with his back to the wall we will soon have rain.
