The maneki-neko (招き猫), or "beckoning cat," is a popular Japanese figurine believed to bring good luck and fortune to its owner. You’ve probably seen one before—usually a cat with one paw raised, often placed in shops, restaurants, or homes.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what different aspects of the maneki-neko mean:

• Raised Paw:

  • Left paw up: attracts customers (often used in businesses).

  • Right paw up: invites wealth and good fortune.

  • Both paws up: offers protection and double luck (though some say it looks like the cat is surrendering!).
