It is suggesting that the rain is coming down very heavily. The rain is a deluge, soaking everything with large, heavy, water-filled droplets quickly falling. The is based off the original idiom "It's raining cats and dogs" to indicate that it is pouring rain. It takes the hyperbole one step farther to add heavier and larger animals to show the amount of rainfall.

What is the mood of this passage
SpyIntel [72]

<u>The mood of this passage is GLOOMY AND MELANCHOLY.</u>

The prevailing emotion or mood found in the excerpt is gloomy/melancholy. This is clear when we pay attention to the author's approach to the main character and the overall setting: the character wakes up in impenetrable "blackness", there's no sound but the wind in the "blackened trees", he stood on a "cold autistic dark", and so on and so forth. All the setting is filled with darkness, there is nothing that evokes to something cheerful or enjoyable and the character is pensive in the middle of all that.
