There are no cats in the zodiac, and rumors are related to mice. Is it true?/You don't say.

There are no cats in the zodiac. It is said that the mouse promised to call it, but it didn't. This is also a very common saying. In the past, cats and mice were neighbors. It is said that they are going to seal the zodiac. Everyone agreed to go together, so the cat was willing to sleep late, and the mouse agreed, but later, fearing that the cat would compete with it for the first place, it stopped barking, which led to the disappearance of the cat as the zodiac, so it made a fuss. However, this is a legend. Let's actually analyze why there are no cats in the zodiac:

The zodiac corresponds to the ancient twelve branches, that is, 1 hour corresponds to an animal. This correspondence exists not only in China, but also in other countries, including the twelve constellations, which also corresponds different animals to time. In Egypt and Babylon, cats are one of their constellations. Cats from China were not selected, in fact, because cats are exotic species and were introduced to China very late. Some night cats in the mountains have not been domesticated, and their sense of existence is almost nonexistent.

There is another reason. For a long time in the history of China, cats were both good and evil. People who love it describe it as cute and docile. People who don't love it write it as a hellhound. The Legend of the Demon Cat describes that the blood sprinkling is led by a demon cat. Moreover, there was indeed a kind of witchcraft record called "ghost cat" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which made people afraid. This is why Xiao Shufei cursed Wu Zetian and said: I will be a cat in the afterlife, you will be a mouse, and I will eat you from generation to generation!

The actual truth is that cats are very simple and timid animals, and the IQ of modern cats is not much different from that of their ancestors when they were domesticated ... so cats are not very smart liquid animals in essence!
