What is the Feline Zodiac?
Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, let's first understand what the feline zodiac is. As you might know, the traditional zodiac is based on the months of the year and the constellations that the sun passes through. The feline zodiac, on the other hand, is a fun and creative interpretation that replaces the 12 signs of the zodiac with 12 cat breeds, each associated with unique traits and characteristics.
