It always seemed weird to me that the cat didn't make it into the zodiac in most most countries.

One of my Vietnamese friends told me before that she heard that it's the year of the Cat instead of Rabbit because of some language mix up a long time ago. Is this what others have heard? Girly (I think you've mentioned before you're Vietnamese)?

Too bad it's in-province only for eligibility. They did a nice job with them.

Yes, the story goes that the mandarin word for rabbit and the Vietnamese word for cat are almost the same so yeah, ancient Vietnamese misread the Chinese zodiac when they adopted it.

I'm half, Malaysian father/Vietnamese mother.
