A Wave of Good Fortune

You see them in restaurants, in gift shops, their endlessly waving paws beckoning good fortune wherever it is needed. They are the cats of the Maneki-neko corps, and only the best, most lucky cats are chosen to serve. The audition process is arduous; after a short interview, candidates must demonstrate the traditional wave by imitating a model.

“I love his little face at the end,” says sender-inner Allein S.

    I love the good luck cats! This kitty sure put in the effort to succeed!

    Nuff: kitties should have long legs in my opinion. Don’t love selective breeding decisions like Munchkin cats. How can they jump up on the fridge with short legs?

      Munchkins are the Dachshunds of cats.

        There is a way to disagree with that viewpoint.Dachshund s were bred to hunt badgers etc.Munchkins are bred only for amusement(yuck).

    I have a solar powered white maneki-neko in the front window of my house to invite happiness in.
