There is no certain answer to the meaning of why it's "raining cats and dogs" but I'm partial to;
"3. The phrase is supposed to have originated in England in the 17th century when city streets were filthy and heavy rain would occasionally carry along dead animals.”
It makes more sense that people would have reacted to cats and dogs floating by than toads and frogs.

The answer is a horribly long story but revolves around cats and dogs nesting in straw roof tops and falling through when it rained...you can find it on the net.

They both mean the same thing...and in Southern California they say "It never rains in Southern California...it pours, man it pours."
