The fortune cat is a beloved symbol of happiness, good luck and prosperity in Asia. Also called money cat, happy cat, lucky cat, welcoming cat or maneki-neko in Japanese, this beckoning bobtailed, calico kitty is known to bring great fortunes in Feng Shui.

Fortune cats are particularly associated with business success and attracting a greater cash flow or customer base. They have been common as piggy banks in Japan since the 1800’s. They are always shown with one paw up, often perceived mistakenly by Westerner’s as waving, this gesture, with a palm forward and the fingers curled down, is actually a beckoning or invitation gesture in Asia.

In Feng Shui the fortune cat is believed to specifically aid in moving individuals up the career ladder and padding salaries. It is also recognized for bringing new clients into businesses, this is why it is so often seen in restaurants, stores, banks and offices open to the public.
