I went outside and sure there is alot of water barreling down from the sky, water everywhere- But I can't see any cats or dogs!
I don't even hear a solitary bark or a meow.
Is there something wrong with me?

No, nothing is wrong with you. The phrase "raining cats and dogs" comes from a very long time ago when people had thatched roofs in their homes which served as refuge for animals. When it would rain heavily the animals would lose their footing and fall into the living quarters of the people below.

That expression came from Old England. Where they had sod roofs on their houses. The farmers would let their animals (goats, pigs, sheep) graze on the roof. Their dogs and cats would join them.
When it rained heavy, the fork hoofs of the farm animals would allow them to stay put. The dogs and cats couldn't hold on and they would slide off. It'd be "raining cats and dogs".

If Anybody say Raining Cats and Dogs, It means its raining heavily.
So dont go in search of dogs and cats if you hear this again

Nothing wrong.. Maybe in your Area Bob Barker has done his job and got all the cats and dogs, spayed or neutered.. That is why you don't see them ...
