The Year of the Cat is the eighteenth in the twenty year cycle of Titan, shared across all civilised cultures and many semi-civilised ones. It is said that a person born during the Year of the Cat is more independent than dependent, enjoying a semi-nomadic lifestyle but always willing to return somewhere with a warm hearth and welcome. Astrologers claim that good matches for a Cat Person can be found among those born in the Years of the Horse and the Tiger, whilst the worst are to be found among those born in the Years of the Mouse and Rabbit.
