The Beckoning Cat
05/15/2013
By: Lissa Coffey

The beckoning cat is a friendly little statuette found all over Japan and China.  Did you know that what the cat is doing with its paws actually carries a secret message?  You can see him in both homes and offices.  Many people recognize the beckoning cat because he is seen in Asian restaurants all over the world.  He is the ultimate symbol of prosperity and good luck.  He comes in two different colors, black and red.  The red cats will protect from illness and the black one wards off all evil.

Did you know the positions of the paws are symbolic as well?  The message they carry varies depending on what the paw is doing.  With the right paw raised, the cat will bring money and happiness to your home and workplace.  A cat that is raising its left paw will attract new customers for a business.  If you see a cat with both paws raised you’ve hit the jackpot.  This means both your home and business will be happy and profitable, attracting good luck, prosperity, new clients and lots of friends.

Beckoning cats with two arms raised are hard to find, but I was lucky enough to find a really cute one that is especially designed to bring in wealth.  This is a great gift to give anyone starting a new business or moving into a new home.

I also found a beautiful children's book that tells the story of Maneki Neko, the beckoning cat, and how he became a symbol for luck.
