Three "Feng-Shui Cats"

I've seen these more often in Japanese places (and in Japan) than in Chinese places or Hong Kong but the British Museum's gift shop calls them Feng Shui cats.

So ein süßes Kätzchen. Das darf ich meiner Frau nicht zeigen
Meinem Sohn hat diese Katze auch sehr gefallen.
Wenn du einmal in Graz Urlaub machen möchtest, kann ich dir sagen, wo dir diese Katze beim Frühstücken zuschaut.

Beautiful kitty!

my cat gives me that same look if I talk to her when she’s trying to settle down to sleep.
Ein Denker!
Excellent portrait!
So beautiful !!!
Peculiar hybrid Sino-Japanese cultural remixes, these felines
Definitely anime cartoon-like and non-traditional in design, yet with the ideograms for “Feng Shui” on the box.
Tradtional "Beckoning Cat" design as found in Japan:

Feng Shui is a practice that is still quite Chinese, and is generally ignored in Japan, hence maybe the Japanese subtext on the boxes: ”[The cat] that brings luck”…
My understanding is that the "Beckoning Cat" is a seasonal auspicious item in China, mostly sold around the New Year, whilst it’s available year-round in Japan.
Flickr education – it’s right up there with the best. Good stuff, nhr
eheheh, i bought the same feng shui cat in London at the British Museum… Funny…
