11. I was just looking for which is your favorite
As far as I know, Year of the Cat has nothing to do with Chinese astrology and is just a song and album by Al Stewart (unless you include the tiger). Dragon and Horse, while they are years in Chinese astrology, were also movie titles, the latter being one of Neil Young's 500,000 concert movies. Dog was suggested by the only person who replied before I lost interest after half an hour. You can always vote Other and say Year of the California Peggy.:)
