To match Reuters Life! VIETNAM-CAT /
A cat is pictured at a residence in Hanoi January 31, 2011. While China and others in Asia ring in the lunar Year of the Rabbit this week, Vietnamese are purring about the coming Year of the Cat. Exactly why and when Vietnam dumped the rabbit and adopted the cat for its version of the 12-sign lunar zodiac taken from China is up for debate and may have been partly the result of a complex translation error.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a cat is seen lounging at a residence in Hanoi, Vietnam. The image captures the essence of an intriguing cultural phenomenon surrounding the lunar zodiac signs in this Southeast Asian nation. While neighboring countries like China celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, Vietnam has chosen to embrace and honor the Year of the Cat instead. The reasons behind this unique deviation from tradition are shrouded in mystery and subject to debate among scholars. One theory suggests that a complex translation error may have played a role in Vietnam's adoption of the feline as its symbolic animal. Regardless of how it came about, Vietnamese people have wholeheartedly embraced their feline friends as representatives of good fortune and prosperity. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and gracefulness of cats but also serves as a reminder of how cultures can diverge even within close geographical proximity. It highlights Vietnam's rich heritage and its ability to carve out its own path while remaining connected to its Chinese roots. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are reminded that traditions evolve over time, sometimes taking unexpected turns. The presence of this contented cat symbolizes hope for a prosperous future filled with joyous celebrations for all who call Vietnam home.
