Kitty Puddles

Expressions Explained:

 

A long time ago, roofs were made of thatch and straw instead of wood. Small animals such as cats and mice would crawl into these thatch roofs to keep warm when the weather was chilly. When it rained very hard, the straw eventually became slippery and the animals would slip right off the roof! Hence the expression, it's raining cats and dogs!
