Any supporters of the year of the cat? I think us Chicken Smoothie members should celebrate the year of the cat on leap years.
One more thing, does anyone know someone born on the extra leap year days? What the heck do you do if your birthday is a leap year?
apparently there isnt a year of the cat because:
Once, the Jade Emperor thought it’s better to assign an animal for each year so people can remember the Zodiac cycle easier. So he decided to hold a meeting with all the animals and he will elect 12 of them to be the Zodiac animals in the meeting. At that time, cat and rat are close friends, just like brothers. They are very excited for the meeting and decided to go together. The cat is a sleepyhead, hardly woke up before noon. Night before the meeting, he ask the rat to wake him up the next morning. The rat agreed: No problem, take it easy, I will wake you up for sure! The cat felt assured and had a sweet dream. The next morning, the rat got up early and quietly, washed and brushed, left for the meeting alone.
When the cat woke up afternoon, he knew it’s too late. The news about newly selected 12 animals were everywhere; and the rat is the first of them. Felt betrayed by the rat, from then on, the cat turned into rat’s enemy. So that’s also why cats are always chasing after rats.
