This is an interesting piece of information that I truly didn't know: the original maneki neko were based on calico cats! You know, those orange, black, white and awesome cats? They have been around - and beloved - in Japan for centuries.
"Maneki-Neko, or The beckoning cat is a symbol whose origins goes back to 1870’s in Japan. Calicos were seen as a good luck omen and to this day are placed in the entrances of homes and businesses everywhere".
Thanks Buzzfeed!:-)
