According to legend, many
years ago Buddha summoned all the animals to a meeting in which he
would
designate the first 12 animals arriving, to be signs of a year
respectively.
On the night before the departure, cat notified his pal, rat, and they
agreed that the one waking up first the next morning must awake the
other
so they can depart for the meeting together. However, rat broke his
promise
and arrived for the meeting alone. Then, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon,
snake,
horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig arrived one after the other.
When cat woke up and hurried there, the meeting was over. It is said
that
is the reason why the cat kills the rat.
