Lucky Cat Wish Box

The story of the Lucky Cat is based on a 9th century Chinese proverb: -"If a cat washes its face and ears, it will rain." A cat washes its face with its paw to ease its anxiety. However, people have long believed that when a cat lifts its paw it is actually a beckoning gesture. Store owners in China and Japan began to place statues of a cat with one paw raised to help invite customers.
