the Foolish Cat- Fruits Basket

Description

Just a random pic to pass the time. More a scrap than anything else, really...

From Fruits Basket, by Natsuki Takaya. The cat from the zodiac, in the story of how the Chinese zodiac was formed:

"A long time ago, God said to the animals 'Tomorrow thou art all invited to a party in my honour, and I command thee, do not be late.' The news spread quickly in the animal kingdom, but the mischievious rat decided to play a trick on his neighbour, the cat and told him that the party was happening the day after tomorrow.

The next day, the rat hitched a ride on the back of the ox and was the first to arrive. Next came the ox, followed by the tiger, the rabbit and so on. Everyone partied till dawn...

Only the foolish cat was left out..."

Of random, interesting note is that the end of the series reveals this is a false memory, and that the first memory, which the zodiac forgot, is a lot sadder and complicated, and the cat really was the hero of the tale :)

I love Fruits Basket :)
