Some say that the Jade Emperor invited the animals to the feast.

Another assortment includes the conflict of the cat and rat. Buddha wanted the mammals to come together for a meeting. The foolish cat told the rat as before. The sneaky rat leaves without the cat. When the cat finally shows up the meeting was over and the animals had been selected to receive a year in their name.
