Happy Chinese New Year from China Cat Sunflower

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!
~~~~~
I am not really Chinese because I am a ginger tabby cat born in Missouri. But since my real name is China Cat Sunflower, my Big Janitor Dad sometimes calls me Chineeeze, which kind of sounds like Chinese! So I thought that I would celebrate Chinese New Year today. It is now the year of the Ox.

I have never seen an ox before but this morning I went visiting and over at Tybalt's he had a Chinese New Year post. He said that he was born in the Year of the Dog and he had a link to find out what your Chinese Zodiac sign is. This is the link I followed to find out that I was born in the Year of the Rat! I have never seen a Rat before but I have seen and actually caught some mice and a vole and even a chipmunk! I did not make the chipmunk dead - I brought it in the house and set it down. My Lap Lady was not very happy to have a live chipmunk running around the living room, with me running after it. Eventually she caught him in a plastic bowl and put him out front on the porch. He ran like the wind when she let him out of the plastic bowl. We only have one picture of him under the plastic bowl and you can see his chipmunk fur sticking out a little bit. My Lap Lady was too nervous and shaky trying to get him out to take his picture while we were running around the living room! (Darn it - we can't find the picture but will post it as soon as we can find it.)

Anyway, back to Chinese New Year, this is what it says about me being born in the Year of the Rat:
Personality - Occupying the 1st and most prominent position on the Chinese Zodiac, the Rat symbolizes such character traits as wit, imagination and curiousity. Rats have keen observations skills and with those skills they're able to deduce much about other people and other situations. Overall, Rats are full of energy, talkative and charming but they have a tendency to become aggressive.

Well, I know that I am definitely curious (obviously since I am a cat)and I like to think of myself as rather witty and imaginative. Also, I do have very keen observation skills and I am very talkative. I hate to admit it but I can be a bit aggressive but that is only regarding Temptations. I have bit my Big Janitor's fingers when he holds out Temptations for me. I guess that I really was born in the Year of the Rat! Who knew!
