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.

Avoiding conflict ineffective when dealing with interpersonal conflict
olchik [2.2K]

<span>The statement above is true. Avoiding conflict is an ineffective way of dealing with interpersonal conflicts. Avoiding conflict can cause withdrawal from relationships. It is a method of dealing with conflict that makes a person avoid confronting issues directly. As a result, relationships can be put at stake. Conflict avoidance is when a person changes the subject, puts off the discussion for later, or when a person does not bring up the subject to the other. </span>
