These are some superstitions I got from a site...
Pointless I know :p, but they are so weird, How do people come up with these things!
Animal Superstitions:
*Ladybird (Ladybug)*:
-Landing on you - very good luck
-Landing on your hand - Good weather
-Number of spots - number of happy months ahead
-Direction after it leaves your person - the direction from which your future love will come
*Dogs*
-A dog eating grass - rain
-Meeting a dog - good luck (especially Dalmatians)
-A greyhound with a white spot on its forehead - good fortune
-Being followed by a strange dog - bad luck (especially black dogs)
-The spectral black dog (barguest) - a harbinger of death
-A dog howling for no reason - unseen spirits
-A dog howling three times - A death has occurred
*Cats*
-A kitten born in May - a witches cat
-A black cat crossing your path - good luck (A white cat in USA, Spain and Belgium)
-A black cat seen from behind - a bad omen
-Stray tortoise shell cat - bad omen
-Cats bought with money will never be good mousers
-Cat sneezing once - rain
-Cat sneezing three times - the family will catch a cold
-Killing a cat - sacrificing your soul to the Devil
-Kicking a cat - Rheumatism
-A cat sneezing is a good omen for everyone who hears it.
-It is bad luck to see a white cat at night.
-Dreaming of white cat means good luck
-When you see a one-eyed cat, spit on your thumb, stamp it in the palm of your hand, and make a wish. The wish will come true.
-If a cat washes behind its ears, it will rain.
-A cat sleeping with all four paws tucked under means cold weather ahead.
-It is bad luck to cross a stream carrying a cat.
-A cat on top of a tombstone meant certainly that the soul of the departed buried was possessed by the devil. Two cats seen fighting near a dying person, or on the grave shortly after a funeral, are really the Devil and an Angel fighting for possession.
