‘Why is there no the Year of Cat?’ 《為何沒有貓年?》

The coming Chinese New Year is the Year of Snake! 

Lots of guests wonder why there is no the Year of Cat.  It is due to the rat’s mistake!

The Cat and the rat were good friend.  They joined the animal marathon race organized by the Jade Emperor. 

The rat told the cat a wrong date of the race mistakenly.  So the cat did not show up on the racing day and lost the chance to be one of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs, just like the rat.

The cat was so angry and wanted to take revenge, although the rat apologized.

Therefore cats and rats have played the game of hide and seek for many years!

If you want to learn more about the Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs, you can go to the the Garden of Chinese Zodiac in the Kowloon Walled City Park.

Just share a funny story with you on the Chinese New Year Eve!

Happy Chinese New Year to all!

許多外國客人會問，為何有龍、有蛇、有鼠又有狗，但沒有貓年呢?

作為導遊，務求不得失愛貓之人和屬鼠之人，於是會講以下的故事……

貓和鼠本是好朋友，牠們更一起參與了由玉皇大帝主辦的「動物長跑」，希望成為十二生肖之一。

不過鼠不小心地把錯誤的賽跑日子告訴了貓，貓結果沒有出席長跑，失去和其他動物爭奪榮譽的機會!

於是長跑成為一對好朋友交惡的導火索，鼠不斷解釋，卻得不到貓的原諒，貓更決定報仇，這就是貓和鼠玩了這麼多年捉迷藏的原因!

想知道更多有關十二生肖的事，各位可到九龍寨城公園的「生肖倩影–童樂園」一遊。

希望透過當導遊的點滴，向大家帶來新春的祝福，祝蛇年進步!
