There are several thoughts on this but the most common belief is that due to the inefficiency of 17th-century sewage and drainage systems, the streets of European cities were often littered with debris and dead animals after heavy rainstorms. They had to come from somewhere, right?



Another theory is that there are several accounts of frogs, fish, and grasshoppers falling from the sky, usually as a result of tornado-like whirlwinds. Cats and dogs, however, have yet to make the list. But why not?





The leading theory seems to be that animals have been associated with weather for centuries. Cats stand for rain, and dogs for wind.



So pick one
