    When a cat is washing it's face which ever person he looks at first will be the first to in the house.
    If a strange dog passes under the window of a sick person room it is a sign he is going to die soon.
    If a white crow is flying around the house and anyone sick in it it is said that it is a sign that he is soon going to die.
    When an ass is braying it is said that there is a tinker dying.
