The Chinese version is,

#1. feed plenty of fish to cat.

In keeping with Chinese customs and this list's subject,
that should read ...

1. feed goldfish to cat

and then also sino-imperative ...

2. eat cat

This accomplishes the same thing. It also has the advantage of determining if the fish is poisonous.

also seen on Chinese list is,

3. feed dog once per day.

4. eat dog once per week.

Old saying in Kowloon is "man with lots of cats and dogs near waterfront, run cheap restaurant."

Addendum to that is "man who runs cheap restaurant teach nephew to work for food, and man who make good profit teach nephew that cat and dog is delicious."

The downside is that "once in a while human metapneumonia/corona virus not kill dog, but kill customers."

The answer to that is "cheap restaurant allow customers to be prolific"

Which segues in no 99 on the Chinese list, which is

#99. "easier to keep foot out of mouth, than remove knife from back"
