In Japan, you may see those lucky cat statues lazily waving raised paws in front of shops. They are believed to bring fortune to the owners - the cat rising the left paw brings more customers, and the cat rising the right paw brings more money.
From wiki: The maneki-neko (Japanese: 招き猫, literally "beckoning cat") is a common Japanese figurine (lucky charm, talisman) which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. In modern times, they are usually made of ceramic or plastic. The figurine depicts a cat (traditionally a calico Japanese Bobtail) beckoning with an upright paw, and is usually displayed in—often at the entrance of—shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, laundromats, dry cleaners, and other businesses. Some of the sculptures are electric or battery-powered and have a slow-moving paw beckoning.
