The Chinese new year begins n 22 January 2023 and lasts until 9 February 2024. While mst f Asia celebrates the year f the rabbit, Vietnam (越南) celebrates the year f the cat. In the Chinese zdiac（十二生肖）, there are 12 animals, and the 4th animal is the rabbit; while in the Vietnamese zdiac, the 4th psitin is gt by the cat. Hw the cat substituted fr the rabbit in Vietnam’s zdiac is still the tpic f debate.
Ancient strytellers said the Jade Emperr rganized a race acrss a river fr all the animals in the wrld. The first 12 t reach the ther side wuld appear in the zdiac.

This year, many Vietnamese are buying new cat-themed cases fr their mbile phnes. And ne f the tp Ggle searches in Vietnam is “why there is n cat in the Chinese zdiac”.
