Phrase is said to have originated in 17th century England, when heavy flood waters carried the bodies of dead animals through the streets of London, making it look as though the cats & dogs had actually fallen with the rain. It's not known whether or not people actually believed this!

This means that the rain is coming down so hard it is as if there are cats and dogs falling on top of you or the rain is hitting the window so hard it is as if a dog or cat is hitting it. :)

Nope, even though it certainly certainly has rained the two frogs and fish. appealing confident some climate like a tornado swoops 'em up and drops off miles away is what I study on the way it occurs.¯_(?)_/¯
