Theres another story with the zodiac with the cat and rat. Before the race start the cat forgot the day and so the rat lied to the the cat saying it starts next year

[@hi_im_boredkwong9069]

No there was no cat on the new year though but I'm a Chinese kid and I have never heard a cat in the zodiac in it

[@panda_worrier]

@@hi_im_boredkwong9069 theres like 15 version of this story, and the oldest one had the cat in it.

If I comment, do I get a heart?

Indeed, we hope you enjoyed the video!

[@philmeisterify]

The cat should've been the
first on the list. Since the legend
of a cat saved a man from being
struck by lightning. Of course like
everything else it's just a legend.
Interesting story though. 👍
