She set out to create a pop up that is both cute and brings good luck and the Lovepop Lucky Cat was born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLucky Cats are often seen in homes, temples, and restaurants across Japan and other Asian countries. There are many stories about the origin of the Lucky cat, but the most popular one told of a wealthy traveler who hid under a tree near a temple during a rain storm. There he noticed a cat at the temple doorway that seems to be beckoning him to come over. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe traveler decided to walk over to the cat, and as soon as he left, the tree that he was previously standing under was struck by lightning and fell. To thank the cat for saving him, he became a patron of the temple, and a cat statue was made in his honor when he passed away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Lucky Cat is often shown either raising his left paw, to entice customers to a business, or a raised right paw which is believed to bring good luck or fortune. Some beckoning cats are even depicted with both paws up to summon as much good luck and fortune as possible! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe color of the cat is also of significance. We chose to design a white cat because the color represents happiness. The ornate bib and bell around the Lucky Cat's neck represent protection or wealth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOccasions for the Lucky Cat Card:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis card is perfect for anyone anytime a bit of good luck is needed.
