No, the cat is not a Chinese Zodiac Animal.
The cat missed the zodiac race, but sometimes replaces the rabbit as the 4th sign of the zodiac.
the cat - apparently the sun god wanted a race to see who was best. everybody was sure the cat was going to win, but then the rat pushed it out of the way (go rat!). so the cat is not in the zodiac.
In the Chinese Zodiac legend, the cat was too busy sleeping to make his way to the big meeting. So it is not a zodiac animal.
There is no year of cat in the Chinese zodiac.

No, the cat is not included in the twelve zodiac animals on the Chinese calendar. The twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac signs are arranged in order starting from Rat, Bull, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig.
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.
In the Chinese zodiac after the Dragon is the Snake.
Western Zodiac consists of different days, whilst Chinese Zodiac is about years.
