An ancient folk story tells that Cat and Rat were the worst swimmers in the animal kingdom. Although they were poor swimmers, they were both quite intelligent. To get to the meeting called by the Jade Emperor, they had to cross a river to reach the meeting place. The Jade Emperor had also decreed that the years on the calendar would be named for each animal in the order they arrived to the meeting. Cat and Rat decided that the best and fastest way to cross the river was to hop on the back of Ox. Ox, being naïve and good-natured, agreed to carry them both across. Midway across the river, Rat pushed Cat into the water and let it sink and Torture Death by drown Then as Ox neared the other side of the river, Rat jumped ahead and reached the shore first. So he claimed first place in the competition and the zodiac
The version I heard years ago is that the Cat doesn't even know there's a banquet happening. Or the version where it thought the banquet is tomorrow.
Yeah, it heard the info from the Rat.
Meanwhile there's also version that explain the dragon came late because it stopped to help farmers who are tortured by drought (or is it flood?) so it can't make it to the first place despite being the only mythical animal in among the 12.

And to expand on the dragon part, there is one version where the dragon burst its ear drums when on the way to the banquet. Therefore the word deaf (聋) contain the word dragon (龙)
useless trivia, in Vietnam there is no rabbit, but cat zodiac instead
This is still a prototype so the effect is strongThe directions are represented by animals of the chinese zodiacPlease doI'll try to deal with it until the final productionWhat an awful weaknessIt's based on a divination boardYou do know the relationship between cats and the 12 animals don't you ?
