Long ago, God invited all the animals to a special banquet and told them not to be late. All the animals, except for the cat, heard of the invitation. So the rat decided to play a joke on his neighbor, the cat. The rat told the cat that the banquet was to be held the day after next. So on the day of the banquet, all the animals went to the party, the mouse lead the way, riding on the cow's back. Everyone attended the banquet, except for the cat, who was fast asleep because he was told that the party was the day after. And that's why the cat isn't included in the Chinese Zodiac...
