    Such a great painting and your cat makes a lovely subject. I like his story. Wonder if he saw the little lucky cat and thought raising his own paw might bring him good luck?!

    In Japan and some asian countries, they put cat ornaments in the shops.
    They believe the cats welcome good luck and lots of customers.
    I went to the Japanese restaurant the other day, they had about 50 cats on the shelf!
    There were a lot of people. I think the cats is working very well.
