A long, long time ago, The Jade Emperor (The
Emperor in Heaven in Chinese folklore) ordered that
animals would be designated as calendar signs for
each year and the twelve that arrived first would
be selected. At that time, the cat and the rat were
good friends and neighbors. When they heard of
this news, the cat said to the rat: 'We should arrive
early to sign up, but I usually get up late.' The rat
then promised to awaken his friend and go
together. However, on the morning when he got
up, he was too excited to recall his promise, and
went directly to the gathering place. On the way,
he encountered the tiger, ox, horse, and other
animals that ran much faster. In order not to fall
behind them, he thought up a good idea. He
made the straightforward ox carry him on condition
that he sang for the ox. At last, the ox and him
arrived first. The ox was happy thinking that he
would be the first sign of the years, but the rat had
already slid in front, and became the first lucky
animal of the Chinese zodiac. Meanwhile his
neighbor the cat was too late so when it finally
arrived, the selection was over. That's why other
animals appear behind the little rat and why the
cat hates the rat so much that every time they
meet, the cat will chase and kill it.
