I always thought it looked like a rat, but I can see why you could think it's a cat - the head is far too wide.

I was recently on an open-top tour bus in the city and a green badge guide was calling it a 'cat' and it was there because of the Chinese Year of the Cat - which doesn't exist. This fella was a GREEN BADGE guide for crying out loud.



I wouldn't mind but some of them are arrogant and don't like it when you correct them.
