An Old, Old Saying About A Cat

Have you ever heard…”It’s Raining Cats and Dogs?”

In the 1700’s, when towns and cities were built with narrow streets, drainage was often poor allowing heavy stores to resultin flooding.  The weaker cats and dogs would drown during storms.  When the storm cleared, people would come out of their homes to find the streets littered with dead corpses, as if it had really been raining “cats and dogs.”  

I will never say those words again, what a sad picture that brings to mind.
