Why do some people say that cats are the owners of tigers?

Because cats and tigers belong to cats, there are similarities in walking posture and various living habits. People observed this similarity, so they linked the two animals together. Dogs and wolves, too, are canines and have many similarities, so in folklore, dogs become wolves' uncles.

It is said that the cat is the owner of the tiger, which comes from a folklore story in China.

A long time ago, tigers were not as capable as they are now. It is the king of the mountains, but it is slow, and the cat is not kept at home, but a professional hunter.

But one day, the tiger learned skills from the cat. After a lot of hard training, the tiger learned almost all the skills of cats and suddenly wanted to taste the taste of cats. Fortunately, in an emergency, the cat climbed the tree, and the tiger could only wander in the tree because he didn't learn to climb the tree. The angry tiger could only watch the cat escape.

A plucked phoenix is not as good as a chicken

Phoenix, the king of birds, is very prestigious among birds. They live happily in the kingdom of birds. They drink manna every day, eat delicious food sent by other birds and wear gold and silver. Every time I go out, I am crowding round and showing off. Phoenix is the king of birds. Naturally, it doesn't like peacocks with foreign flavor, and certainly it doesn't like chickens with rustic flavor.

However, this is not what people want. When a phoenix went through the forest, it was hooked on a branch. It struggled, its feathers rained down and came out of the forest. This phoenix, like a plucked chicken, is not beautiful at all. In the kingdom of birds, without its beautiful feathers, it will lose its prestige and status. All the sycophants around ran away, as if no one knew.

Phoenix was very angry, so she went to the henhouse alone to humiliate the chicken, but suddenly she found herself surrounded by chickens, who punched and kicked him and sneered repeatedly until the unlucky Phoenix died.

Someone witnessed the whole thing and told everyone when they came back that it was widely circulated.
