With the rains coming down, got me to thinking about the phrase "raining cats and dogs". My curious mind found this. "Have you ever used the popular phrase its “raining cats and dogs”. This phrase goes back many hundreds of years when the roofs was built with hay and straw. The cats and dogs use to sleep in the roofs because heat rises to the top and this was the warmest place. Well when it rain really hard the cats and dogs would fall through the roof. Thus giving us the popular phrase its raining cats and dogs." Interesting.
