Why is it called a Catslide roof?

Take the term for a section of a roof that is extended to cover a lean-to or side room, so that it sweeps down from the ridge nearly to the ground. One imagines some medieval builder watching a cat trapped on the roof, missing its step and tumbling down... and it has been a 'catslide' ever since.
