Cat statues found everywhere at Tet

HCMC – Many provinces and cities across the country have featured statues of cats, the fourth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Vietnamese zodiac and the symbol of the 2023 Lunar New Year.

The Tet Cat mascots were created by local artists using materials such as iron, terracotta, foam and fresh flowers.


Cats are seen as symbols of good fortune in Vietnamese culture, with many people believing they bring in a year full of wisdom, wealth and growth.
