Hi Soranoch. |

Legends relating to the order of the [[Chinese zodiac]] often include stories as to why the cat was not included among the twelve. Because the [[Rat (zodiac)|Rat]] tricked the cat into missing the banquet with the Jade Emperor, the cat was not included and thus began the antipathy between cats and [[Rat (zodiac)|Rats]]. In reality, it is likely domesticated cats had not proliferated through China at the zodiac's induction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chinablog.cc/2009/01/why-no-year-of-the-cat/|title=Why no year of the Cat?}}</ref> |
