Can anyone explain to me the waving cat statue that every Chinese place in the city has? Is it a religious thing or more like a flag signifying that “Chinese people work here”. I used to think that the waving cat was a sign that the place was really a happy ending boutique because you typically see it in the window of ”massage parlors” or “nail” places but then I noticed that it’s everywhere — restaurants, delis, basically it’s anywhere that Chinese people seem to be. Like if I get on the bus and it’s full of Chinese people there is one of those cats sitting next to the bus driver. Ok, not that bad, but for reals, at my local Taco spot which ironically is owned and operated by all Chinese people, they have a waving cat on the counter, I should probably just ask them what it’s all about but I don’t really feel like sitting through the explanation, I just want my chorizo tortillas. Oh and I don’t want to hear that I’m a racist or anything, it’s an honest question, I’m just curious, I think I’m going to get one regardless.

The cat is supposed to attract money, and that’s why it’s located at the counter. It’s not actually waving at you, but moving its arm up&down… it’s supposed to mimic “counting money” or counting coins or something like that.
This is something I heard about at a Chinese Restaurant in Buenos Aires… I could be wrong, but still, I thought I’d share.
