Actually Japanese in origin "Maneki-Neko", translates as "beckoning cat", but we often associate these cat ornaments as Chinese waving cats. When waving their left paw, they are actually beckoning in friendship and customers, which is why you'll often see them in shops and restaurants. They have been used for centuries to bring prosperity and wealth when following Feng Shui principles, and for some people, they just love the retro aesthetic of these kitsch kitties. Simply add a single AA battery, give his little leg a push, and then he'll swing his pendulum paw day and night for months, beckoning in all the friends and customers he can...hopefully! 15cm TallRequires 1 x AA battery (not included)
