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.

allsm [11]

1) ‘I’ll make a fine Nation of you, or I’ll die in the making!’

2) “I’ve come back,” he repeated; “and I was the King—me and Dravot—crowned Kings we was!

3) “I am telling you as straight as I can, but my head isn’t as good as it might be.

Explanation:

        The second one is an illusion, something that was happening only on his mind after drinking too much, but he realizes it after that.

        The last one is a suffering, he is suffering for a specific reason that is pretty much influencing him to feel sad at the moment.
