: i just got this forwarded in my email by my sis. thought it was funny seeing as how this is what i was saying about the raining cats and dogs thing.....(*not saying this is true....just thought it was weird since i was just talking about it*)....
: Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath.
: It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the dogs, cats and
: other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became
: slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence
: the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."
