“Raining cats and dogs “is the common saying.
An incessant rain is given this fitting tribute.
Why did rain gets associated with cats and dogs of all animals.?
I wonder.
Today , being a sunday, and as I have nothing to do, (as if I perform on the week days,) my introspection runs riot.
Yes , why cats ?and why dogs?
Cats are known for their stealthiness
Dogs are acclaimed for their faithfulness.
Cats cheat .
Dogs keep vigil.
Cats are cunning.
Dogs are trustworthy.
Cats purr noiselessly.
Dogs bark loudly.
Cats scratch.
Dogs bite.
Cats climb.
Dogs run.
These animals with the pronounced dissimilarities are seemingly used to portray incessant down pour.
The past four days, I have been watching heavy rains, medium down pour and slight drizzle.The activity is continuous without intervals.
The sky is overworking, as the Sun shone with great force and power a week back.
Nature is labouring round the clock.
Well. what about the phrase , raining cats and dogs.
Deliberating the whole afternoon has not yielded any significant interpretation.
