It's raining cats and dogs.
'It's raining cats and dogs'. It means raining really hardly, right?
But ... Why 'cats and dogs'?
Does the sound of raining sounds like their voice?

There is no real reason. Have a look here to NOT get an answer:

But, more importantly, please, please, please, NEVER use that expression! I guess it hasn't been used by a native speaker for around 200 years! I don't know what kind of ...beeeeeeeeep put that in an ESL book so millions of learners around the world waste their time every day to learn it and they find it "kinda cool". If you travel to England and you tell someone "It's raining cats and dogs." he/she will need to ask their great-grandmother to translate your English into English.
