Cats and Mice

[Hraesvelg]

Ah, so it's a story about the Chinese zodiac. That wasn't mentioned in the first one. If you had listed a few more animals, I might have gotten the pattern. Ancient Eastern hokum isn't exactly my cuppa, heh.

The first post was just a joke and I don't think anyone needs to know the Chinese Zodiac or any parables associated with why any given animal is or isn't on it to understand the joke. I think your post simply made several people say "huh?".

And, while I would not intentionally show disrepect to Chinese Zodiacs, parables or beliefs, much of the western world accepts that cats chase and eat mice for the same reasons they chase and eat chipmunks, birds, frogs and any other small creature that scurries across their path - the excitment of the chase and the satisfaction of the meal.
