[[Not surprisingly, I was born in 1951 - the year of the cat!!! ; What
about you guys? http://www.astro-uk.dircon.co.uk/chinese_years.html Hugs, CatNipped]] Well! I was born in the year of the Cat!  ) I always thought it was theyear of the Rabbit. And it is... according to the explanations of the years I found on that site, the year could be either Cat or Rabbit depending on which system one is using. Maybe it means that I'll have some spoiled pet bunny rabbits some day, to go along with the pampered cats. )Donna, and Captain and Stanley who think EVERY year is the Year of the Cat

DH 1976 a dragon-virgo. Laku 2000 a dragon-taurus and Nico 2004 a monkey-leo. My dad's a pig-taurus, mom's a cat-leo, bro's an ox-leo. The cats really do seem to have traits from both signs, the Chinese and the "normal" horoscopes. -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) yahoo (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63
