Happy Lunar New Year 2019!

According to the Lunar calendar this is the year of the pig.

Or the boar.

However, visitors to Asia will find that the cat is to be found in so many places it could also be seen as the year of the cat.

Every year.

As you can find cats in most households.

Many shops.

A lot of businesses.

So, clearly, it is……

The year of the cat.

The ruler of the home, the bringer of happiness.
