They don't have to be born in the year of that animal in order to embody or represent the animal they have.
E.x. Kyo is born in the same year as Yuki, though they do not represent the same zodiac animal.
In the manga series Fruits Basket, Kyo was born on New Year's Eve, just before the zodiac curse was set to reset. Even though there is no official "Year of the Cat" in the Chinese zodiac, Kyo embodies the cat spirit in the story, which is why he is affected by the curse.
Kyo Sohma
He is the cat. (which isn't an actual zodiac sign)
Kyo Sohma from the anime "Fruits Basket" is portrayed as being born on January 1st, making him a Capricorn in terms of his zodiac sign.
The orange-haired guy in Fruits Basket is named Kyo Sohma. He is one of the main characters in the series and is cursed to turn into a cat when hugged by the opposite sex.
There is no year of the Cat in the Chinese zodiac. The Cat, however, is the animal used in the place of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac used in Vietnam. So the next year of the Cat (Rabbit) as of 2016 will be Jan 22, 2023-Feb 9, 2024; the year of the Yang Water Cat(Rabbit). The old legend tells that when God invited all the animals to His dinner to become part of the zodiac the rat told the cat that the dinner was on a different night so the cat missed out and that is why cats hate rats. A popular anime called Fruits Basket uses this story in it's plot line.

I've watched all the episodes and the last episode is #26.So yes to your question. Oops, that would be the anime. The answer`s no. Volume 23 is the VERY LAST VOLUME OF FRUITS BASKET. But you may want to get the fan book called Fruits Basket Fanbook - Cat - which is a nice addition to any Fruits Basket collection. It contains unpublished material, Japanese Hana to Yume magazine fan polls, character profiles, additional art, stickers and a short, previously unpublished manga!
The cat's alternate form is because of all the hate that it had for the Rat because the Rat lied to the Cat. And also because the zodiac animals looked down on the cat.
Nope, since it is strictly a "Cat Basket".
In Chinese astrology, the rat and the cat are not natural friends because the rat tricked the cat out of a position in the zodiac. This mythology is reflected in "Fruits Basket" as the rat, Yuki, and the cat, Kyo, have a strained relationship due to the history between their zodiac animals.
There is no year of cat in the Chinese zodiac.
Kyo's true form in Fruits Basket is that of a cursed spirit of the cat from the Chinese zodiac. When hugged by the opposite gender or feeling great shame, he transforms into a cat. This transformation is a central element in the story's themes of acceptance and overcoming one's inner demons.
