There is a sad story about that, I shall tell it to you:
A long time ago, God decided to invite all of the animals to a banquet. The rat told the cat that the banquet was the day after the day that it actually was being held. The poor cat, being the trusting animal that he was, believed him. The day of the banquet arrived and all of the animals went to the banquet, with the rat leading the way on the back of the cow the whole time. Except for the cat. He was still comfortably asleep in his bed, dreaming of the banquet that would never come.

Due to the legend that the Cat was skipped out on because of a lie from the Rat. Which is why it's said today that Cats hate Rats.
On the plus side, there is the Tiger. It's of the Feline Family. C:
It's because it relates to the old folk tale that when god invited all the animals to a banquet the rat decided to play a trick on the cat that the party was the day after the actual day of the banquet and when the cat went to sleep he was dreaming about the party that would never come. Now when god found out that the cat never came he said to the cat that he would be excluded from the banquet. And so you probably know why some people make Cartoons about the cat hating the rat and all.

There is no year of the Cat in the Chinese zodiac. The Cat, however, is the animal used in the place of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac used in Vietnam. So the next year of the Cat (Rabbit) as of 2016 will be Jan 22, 2023-Feb 9, 2024; the year of the Yang Water Cat(Rabbit). The old legend tells that when God invited all the animals to His dinner to become part of the zodiac the rat told the cat that the dinner was on a different night so the cat missed out and that is why cats hate rats. A popular anime called Fruits Basket uses this story in it's plot line.
No, the cat is not a Chinese Zodiac Animal.
Kyo Sohma from the anime "Fruits Basket" is portrayed as being born on January 1st, making him a Capricorn in terms of his zodiac sign.
The cat missed the zodiac race, but sometimes replaces the rabbit as the 4th sign of the zodiac.
No, the cat is not included in the twelve zodiac animals on the Chinese calendar. The twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac signs are arranged in order starting from Rat, Bull, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig.
In the Chinese Zodiac legend, the cat was too busy sleeping to make his way to the big meeting. So it is not a zodiac animal.
In the story of the Chinese zodiac, the animals would meet to be part of the zodiac. The rat tricked the cat by telling him the meeting was the day after. So the cat stayed home not knowing of the trick. That is why the cat is not part of the Chinese zodiac.
This is a popular Chinese myth in regards to the Zodiac. Apparently, Buddha arranged a gathering before he departed Earth and asked all the animals to join. When the cat found out, he told the rat; they both decided to go to the gathering together the following day. Sadly, the rat purposely did not wake the cat the next morning, thus all the animals except the cat went to the gathering and were given a year in the Zodiac.
yes every year there is a different zodiac.
