We say it's raining cats and dogs when there is a heavy downpour. It simply means a heavy rain.
The saying presents an interesting image of animals falling from the sky, that doesn't seem to have much to do with torrential rain, and experts aren't certain about its origin.
The most likely and least appealing theory is that rain storms in 17th century England would carry the bodies of dead animals through the dirty city streets inspiring people to say "it's raining cats and dogs"

Example: -Sorry I'm late for work it's raining cats and dogs and the streets are flooded.

Get the Raining cats and dogs mug.Fans of the incredibly popular American Chicken Finger fast food restaurant Raising Cane's. The most annoying restaurant fanbase to roam the Earth. Anytime someone says Raising Cane's is mediocre, or doesn't place the restaurant at S tier in a fast food tier list, they go out of their way to insult the "Raising Cane's Hater". Anytime proper criticism is brought up against Raising Cane's they completely deny it and declare every other fried chicken fast food restaurant ass.
Valid Critic: "Raising Cane's isn't my favorite, I actually prefer Popeyes."
Raising Cane's Fans : "What the fuck is wrong with you dude, are you retarded? Raising Cane's is the greatest chicken restaurant on the planet. Popeyes is so dry and nasty. Like dude, have you even tried the Texas Toast, it's so delicious, there is something really wrong with you."
