I have often wondered what this wee cat is called. My son brought me one from Kyoto a few years ago. It sits on a shelf in my main room and I tell visitors that, if they pop a coin into the slot in the top, they can make a wish.It does, indeed bring financial success. Only this morning I emptied it and put £30.00 into the bank account. As you can see from the photo, on the link below, my one is left handed (or is that “left pawed”?) Thanks for posting this. Regards – Bob McDowall
