Copied and pasted: “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. A false theory stated that cats and dogs used to cuddle into thatch roofs during storms and then be washed out during heavy rains.

That would not be good for the cats and dogs that would be falling from the sky.
