How they were really cursed:
Once upon a time there lived God, he was all alone. He dared not go down to the village that lay at the bottom of the mountain for he was too shy, so he stayed in his house at the top. One day a cat came by, and he stayed with God. They developed a strong bond and the cat would not leave God. God thought of a great idea, he could also invite the other animals to stay with him and the cat. So he did, he sent out invations to all the animals to come a join him. Twleve animals came: the rat, the cow, the tiger, the snake, the rooster, the dog, the dragon, the horse, the pig, the sheep and the rabbit. Together they had many banquets and lots of fun.
But one night, tragedy struck. The cat was dying. All the animals gathered around in sorrow and so did God. He could not bear the cat leaving him.
The cat said, "There is nothing more you can do for me, I've had a long and happy life with you."
God was overwhelmed with sorrow and made a potion and had the cat drink some of it. He said, "There, once you die, you'll be reincarnated in the next life and we can be together." he had all the animals drink the potion.
But then the cat said, "I wish you did not make me drink that God."
And then the cat was shunned by the rest of the animals as he died. Soon though every animal died, even the dragon and God. But God died knowing that they'll be there for him in the next life.
