Good Fortune Cats are known as Maneki Neko in Japanese, which means “Beckoning Cat.” Other common names include Lucky Cat, Money Cat, and Welcoming Cat. They are believed to attract good luck and fortune for their owners. When the cash drawer is opened, the cat lifts its paw to say Ka-Ching!
Symbolism:
White Cat: Happiness, purity, and positive things to come

The Significance of the Raised Maneki Neko Paw
There’s actually a meaning behind which paw the Maneki Neko cat is holding up. The left paw attracts customers, happiness and positive energy. The right paw invites good fortune and money. This card has one of each!
