A little info about Maneki Neko Lucky Cats
The Maneki Neko is a Japanese talisman or figurine that is believed to attract good luck and fortune for its owners. It is very common to find a Maneki Neko figurine on display in stores, restaurants or other businesses. These lucky cats are usually made of ceramic.
The figurine depicts a cat, traditionally a calico Japanese Bobtail, with a paw raised in a beckoning gesture. The figurines are often displayed in shops, restaurants, generally placed near the entrance to welcome customers. Some maneki neko have a mechanical paw which slowly waves back and forth.

Did you know?
Maneki neko are often referred to as Lucky Cats or Fortune Cats. Maneki neko statues are traditionally seated, holding a koban coin, with one paw raised up in a beckoning gesture. The cats can either have the right or left paw raised. A statue with the left paw raised is thought to attract more customers, while the right paw raised is to attract more money. For this reason it is often said that the cat with left paw is best for business and the cat with the right paw raised is for the home.
