Further information
In Japan, Maneki-neko figures depict calico cats, bringing good luck. Japanese sailors often kept a calico as their ship’s cat to protect against misfortune at sea. Cats with calico coloration are believed to bring good luck in the folklore of many cultures. Not only in Japan, but also in Germany, the word for a cat with calico colouring is "Glückskatze" or "lucky cat". In the United States, calicoes sometimes are referred to as money cats.
The classic calico design is the most popular amongst Maneki Neko, or good fortune cat in Japan, and brings its owner fortune. Likewise, an all-white cat is also for luck. A black maneki neko is useful for warding off disease and evil. A gold one performs as you may expect, and brings in the money. A red one is used for both protection from disease and demons, and bringing its owner good health. Pink is used for inviting love. There are other various colours, such as yellow or green, that are sometimes linked to feng shui.
