The speaker is lamenting having done something or considering something that will rob him/her of the joys of old age. These joys include honor, love, obedience, multitudes of friends. Instead, he/she will receive silent curses from people for a long time, honor spoken falsely from others, and another day of living, which many people would be pleased to have in itself. At the same time, people feeling so depressed, such as the speaker, might be happy and simultaneously unhappy for living another day.

The phrase is supposed to have originated in England in the 17th century when city streets were filthy and heavy rain would occasionally carry along dead animals. \n\nThe idea that seeing dead cats and dogs floating by in storms would cause people to coin this phrase is just about believable. People may not have actually thought the animals had come from the sky, but might have made up the phrase to suit the occasion.

the REAL reason is that in London in the 1800's stray cats would wander the rooftops of the city, looking for rats, occaisonally a dog would find its way up there. if it started to rain hard sometimes a dog or cat would get caught in a gutter and would float right out onto the street. whenever it would rain hard enough for this to happen, the londoners would say that it was "raining cats and dogs."

Back in the day of this sayings origin in old England, the common folk lived in homes with grass roofs.  The animals, cats and dogs would bed on and during colder weather in the grass roofs.  During a hard rain the animals would be washed off/out of the roof.  Hence the saying it's raining cats and dogs.
