Why “cats and dogs”?
Again, we don’t know for certain. Etymologists—people who study the origins of words—have suggested a variety of mythological and literal explanations for why people say “it’s raining cats and dogs” to describe a heavy downpour. Here are some of the popular theories:
Odin, the Norse god of storms, was often pictured with dogs and wolves, which were symbols of wind. Witches, who supposedly rode their brooms during storms, were often pictured with black cats, which became signs of heavy rain for sailors. Therefore, “raining cats and dogs” may refer to a storm with wind (dogs) and heavy rain (cats).
“Cats and dogs” may come from the Greek expression cata doxa, which means “contrary to experience or belief.” If it is raining cats and dogs, it is raining unusually or unbelievably hard.
“Cats and dogs” may be a perversion of the now obsolete word catadupe. In old English, catadupe meant a cataract or waterfall. A version of catadupe existed in many old languages.In Latin, for example, catadupa was borrowed from the classical Greek κατάδουποι, which referred to the cataracts of the Nile River. So, to say it’s raining “cats and dogs” might be to say it’s raining waterfalls.
A false theory stated that cats and dogs used to cuddle into thatch roofs during storms and then be washed out during heavy rains. However, a properly maintained thatch roof is naturally water resistant and slanted to allow water to run off. In order to slip off the roof, the animals would have to be lying on the outside—an unlikely place for an animal to seek shelter during a storm.

Tiziano Ferro - My Fate Is the Sea
that heat coming from the other side of the bed.
I try with difficulty to remain still
when it's raining cats and dogs.
From Starry Skies Thou Comest like the King of heavens (Oh-oh)
Cry and it's raining cats and dogs, I'll bring towels (Oh-oh)
I'm left dry some nights because you don't cry over me
Kraftklub - All Because of You
Gettin' up, gettin' dressed, eye circles to the chin.
But something's different, why am I in a good mood?
It's raining cats and dogs and I am stuck in traffic for hours!
I walk along the road
It's raining cats and dogs, I hear the wind
Roaring like a crowd, yeah
It does not only rain during the rain season
It’s raining cats and dogs
How do you imagine the weather to be in Caracas
Bigflo et Oli - Twitter Freestyle
A freestyle with Squeezie with words chosen from Twitter
I’ve been happy since I began breaking records
Like a schoinopentaxophile* in a town where it’s raining cats and dogs
A few hours at the music school I was at the back of the canteen
We were wandering just you and me
We were walking in barefoot along the sea
It was raining cats and dogs, the weather was cold
but renting in November it was cheaper.
We were born… Born to fail
It's Raining cats and dogs, and lightning
strikes my heart and sheds some light on-
Asaf Avidan - Lost Horse (Remix)
We were born, born to fail
It's raining cats and dogs and lightning
Strikes my heart and sheds some light on
Émile Bilodeau - So would'ya tell me?
besides I've lost my mittens,
and everybody in the bar is a bit drunk,
and outside it's raining nails 1

Oliver and Company (OST) - Once upon a time in New-York City
It was on the street, at night, in New-York City
But how to keep sunlight in your eyes
When it's raining cats and dogs outside
And the rain is telling you "Well man, try your best" ?
Vapour clouds are hanging above,
Yellow eyes peek through the windows,
And it's raining cats and dogs.

Fatboy Slim - Eat Sleep Rave Repeat
So, there was this DJ
He was like, kicking off
I don't know what he was doing
But it was sick, man
Oliver and Company (OST) - Once Upon A Time In New York City
Why does nightfall leave you feeling so alone
How could any one stay starry-eyed
When it's raining cats and dogs outside
And the rain has said "now you're on your own"
Optimists say,
The future's just a place we've never been
Histories say,
We're doomed to make the same mistakes again
