貓在展覽中獲得最後勝利

According to folklore, the cat was omitted from the Chinese zodiac because it was duped by the rat into believing that New Year’s Day was a day later, and thus it failed to show up at an all-important gathering.
根據民俗傳說，貓之所以被從中國生肖榜上除名，是因為被老鼠欺騙，以為隔天才是新年，以致沒能在這場非常重要的（生肖）集合中現身。
Cat lovers can take relief this year in knowing that their feline friends have not been written off as mere fools, with a series of exhibits paying tribute to the role of the cat in traditional Japanese art being held in Tokyo.
目前在東京展出的一系列向貓在傳統日本藝術中所扮演的角色致敬的展覽，今年讓愛貓人士能好好鬆一口氣，知道他們的貓朋友並非因為是笨蛋而被生肖榜除名。
