The old people of Loughshinney can tell what kind of weather we are going to have by watching how animals behave. They say that when a cat sits with her back to the fire it is a sign that here is rain or bad weather coming.
If we see sheep facing the wind when they are lying down there is sure to be rain within twenty-four hours.
When a hen picks her feathers rain is coming. If a cat eats grass it is a sure sign that story weather is near. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
