    Behaviour of Birds & Animals
    In this locaility the behaviour of the cat, sheep, and horses at certain times of the year indicate that storm is at hand. We may be prepared for rain, when the cat is seen sitting with its back to the fire. It can be taken as a sign of good weather when sheep are seen going towards sheltered places. By huddling together, horses show us that storm is not far off.
