Raining
Cats And Dogs
Answer :
In the olden
days, houses had thatched roofs, thick straw piled high, with no wood
underneath.
It was the
only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small
animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof.
When it
rained, it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and
fall off the roof.
Hence the
saying "It's raining cats and dogs."
