Maneki-neko...

..literally means "beckoning cat" in Japanese. It is believed that they bring good luck to the owner.

That's a very pretty ornament. Of course, cats are lucky and we're lucky to have them!

a fine clear shot...the cat seems almost anthropomorphized, and a tad saccharine...interesting how cats sigificance changes with different cultures..
