Wow, I grew up with the Chinese version of the story and never knew there's a Japanese version! For those who are interested, here are some of the differences between this version and the Chinese version: 1. In the Chinese version, it's the Jade Emperor who organized the race. 2. In the Chinese version, it's a river-crossing race. 3. In the Chinese version, the cat is in the race. Since both him and the rat could not swim, they ask the bull to carry them over. Then the rat pushed the cat off the bull's back into the river. 4. In the Chinese version, when the cat finally emerges from the river, the race is already over and all of the animals laugh at him. That's the end of the cat's and the rat's friendship and why cats chase rats.
Like the cat, I would be mad, too, if something big like the chance of becoming king of an entire year happened and you had to be one of first 12 people, or in this case, animals, to arrive somewhere and then someone else lied to you about when you had to show up just so that they could help ensure that they themselves got a chance of being king for a year themselves!
Too bad the badger didn't go. I would have liked there to be a badger in the zodiac. A ferret or an otter would've been nice too, but I guess a ferret would totally oversleep.

That was interesting! Thank you.
Well guess what? Imagine if the 12 zodiac animals have already became a full-on dozen action group force squadron/electron of the future, also known as 十二戦支 爆烈エトレンジャー™(Jūni Senshi Bakuretsu Etorenjā)! ©MCMXCV ad/ce. Do you GET what I am saying?
Either if it’s by god, …
Or Jesus Christ?

4:22-6:29&7:01 WAIT A Minute I'm Confused I Thought THE DOG HATED THE ROOSTER DRAGON AND SHEEP Not The MONKEYಠ_ಠ"
Poor KITTY!!!! T^T
I wanna be of tge year of the Cat. Pore little one. 🐱
K.J. Nap me too..
Agreed!
The only cat in the Chinese Zodiac is a tiger because tigers are one of many big cats!
Well, if you live in Vietnam then there is a year of the cat instead of the rabbit
That mouse and his kind deserves to be chased and constantly avoiding and living in fear of all cats for his trickery and deceit!
Hehehe
yess!
Another nice New Years story. I didn’t know there used to be 🐅 in Japan or is this Japanese telling of the Chinese zodiac?
Tigers are not native in Japan but they adopted everything from China
Tigers are basically myth for Japan to rival the Dragon
Tigers are the only cats in the Chinese Zodiac!
Shenron said he wants some perks too. After all, there's more to a dragon's existence than granting wishes.
I felt sorry for the poor kitten :'(
poor kitty
Poor Cat.😿
the Vietnamese zodiac has a cat
ハッピーニューヤ
