Black Maneki Neko Money Lucky Cat Chinese Japanese Statue

Some of the paint is a little off but overall, very cute. Exactly what I was expecting.

very cute, pretty well made for the pricefor anyone wondering, the kanji says "love"

This guy is pretty small, which I did read about but you never really understand until it’s right in front of you but OMG he’s so stinkin cute!!! Great little knick-knack piece for my bookshelf…and hopefully he brings me some luck!

Absolutely adorable!! I have a collection of maneki neko cats, all of them are ceramic and I do love them all, but this one is something special. He looks like ceramic but he is resin but you can't really tell until you pick him up and hold him. I say him because "he" looks very masculine to me with his impish, devil may care expression. I just can't stop admiring this guy (so I am back to buy his mate the white one) I hope the company will read this and make a gold one , a red one and a pink one. The size of this is also the biggest in my collection, 4" to tip of one ear. When you hold this in your hand and look at him, he actually makes you SMILE...which of course is PRICELESS....along with bringing good luck and prosperity.

It looks more expensive and makes a nice gift

I bought this back in 2011 along with the white one. First of all it was painted extremely nicely. It has a really good weight to it and it is very sturdy. I can vouch for this because my real cats occasionally have caused him to kiss the floor. Miraculously he is complete, unbroken and not even chipped. If he's lucky, I feel like maybe he's just a little dormant and just waiting for the right time to spring that on me 8 years after his purchase. Overall a really great decorative piece however.

I don't know what there is to say about this product. Curiosity drove me to ask the Internet why Chinese restaurants frequently feature the cat with the paw up. Learned it was a superstition, fortune bringing thing. Then, a time came when I needed some extra luck so I went shopping. I think they're cool cats. They sit on a shelf well. And just maybe, my Black and White Maneki Neko Money Lucky Cats (that I purchased together with a third, solar powered Lucky Cat) may have just done what I needed them to do because I got the win/fortune I had hoped for when purchasing.

I'm an avid collector of Maneki Neko cats and when I saw this little guy, I knew I had to have him. He's of a nice weight and when I received him, he wasn't chipped or missing any paint. He was boxed safely and when I pulled him out, he was perfect. I wish they made more of these guys as I bought this one and a white one but there are no others. They are a good height and don't feel like they will break if you hold them too tight. Definitely a good buy
