A black cat crossing the road means bad luck in almost all countries except in the British Isles. Here, the black cat means good luck! The reason for why people often dislike the black cat is that it has been considered the witch's helper, and a friend of everything evil. If, however, a tabby or grey cat comes into your house and wants to stay there, that is a sign that you will get some money.
A cat can predict the weather as well: If a cat sneezes then rain is on
its way. But if a cat is sitting with its back against a fire, a storm is on its way. Finally - if a cat is sharpening its claws on a table leg, that is a sign of change in the weather, usually for the better.
Dogs can also predict the weather: If you see a dog eating grass, rolling on the floor or scratching itself excessively you can be sure it is going to rain. If a dog is howling at a door that is an omen of death, and if a dog whines when a baby is born, that baby will lead an evil life. 
Superstition also says it's lucky to meet a herd of cows on the road. When they lay on high ground that is a sign of good weather to come. But if cows lay close together or if they are laying very low, that means the weather will get worse. 
White horses have always been considered lucky to see or own. A horse with white 'stockings' is considered lucky, especially if the horse also has a 'star' on its forehead. As weather omen, if horses stand in a group with their backs to a hedge a storm is on its way. 
Rabbits are considered lucky, and a rabbit's foot is a very well known good-luck charm. If you want to have a good month, you should say on the first day "white rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits" when you wake up. This will ensure you have a lucky month. 
Bats are animals which humans are often afraid of. It is considered bad luck to kill a bat, and it is a death omen if one flies into a house. If one flies past you, beware! That means someone is trying to let you down.
Some people consider it lucky to keep a bone from a bat in your pocket, but that belief is not so common any longer.

Let the spider run alive
If you see a spider spinning a web you will shortly get some new clothes. If a web drops on your face or clothes (particularly web from the little red spider), then you will soon get some money.

Ladybirds are considered lucky if one comes and sits on your hand. If you count the numbers of spots on its back you will see how many lucky months you have to come. To make the ladybird fly away (so that you can make your wish!) - you have to say: Ladybird, ladybird fly away home your house is on fire and your children are gone!
Tradition says that the ladybird will take off because it understands our language. The truth is that it doesn't like our sweaty hands!
