Another legend is the Jade Emperor held a banquet in his palace. The order was according to their arrival. The cat had asked the rat to wake him up. The rat didn't wake the cat up, possibly a reason why cats dislike rats.

The COntest

According to one myth the animals quarreled over who would be the first in the cycle. Therefore the gods declared a contest; whoever reached the other side of the bank first would lead the zodiac. The rat had hitched a ride unknown to the ox and jumped off last minute, winning the race.

Origin

The first cycle of the zodiac dates backs to 2,600 BC. The Yellow Emperor introduced it to record the Chinese Lunar New Year. Actually, the animals were used because most people were illiterate, helping to symbolize the 12-year cycle.
