Wave good luck to yourself with our Maneki Neko cat! The Lucky Cat made of paper is a real lucky charm for your four walls and means "beckoning cat".
It is particularly popular as a souvenir from Japan, China and Thailand. According to legend, it is said to beckon good luck and financial wealth. But if you don't want to travel that far, try out our template and create your very own Maneki Neko to decorate or give as a gift.
If you want to buy a waving cat, pay attention to the colour. Their meaning varies greatly. If you opt for a green waving cat, it stands for success in education, in pink or rose it beckons you to happy love, a red Lucky Cat protects you from evil and illness, a white cat stands for positive events and in gold it is a symbol of prosperity. If the colourfulness is too much for you, simply match the colour to your decoration at home.
