Even Tabs can’t be on all the time – such is the life of a fabulous diva kitty.
I’ve been okay, just the usual. Have you recovered from your trip? It looks/sounds like you had an awesome trip. The pictures you posted were gorgeous.
I have a little bit o’ post-vacation blues, not gonna lie. I really loved Vancouver — it’s like a smaller, less hilly, rainier version of San Francisco. I would move there in a heartbeat if it was sunnier.
How’s your summer going so far? Are you doing any traveling?
Maneki Neko can be found with either the right or left paw raised (and sometimes both). The significance of the right and left raised paw differs with time and place. The most common belief is that the left paw raised brings in customers, while a right paw brings good luck and wealth, although some believe the opposite. Still others say that a left paw raised is best for drinking establishments, the right paw for other stores. (Those who hold their liquor well are called hidari-kiki in Japan, “left-handed”). It is commonly believed the higher the raised paw, the greater the luck. Consequently, over the years Maneki Neko’s paw has tended to appear ever higher. Some use the paw height as a crude method of gauging the relative age of a figure. Another common belief is that the higher the paw, the greater the distance good fortune will come from.

When I first saw the post title on FB this morning, I totally thought you were referring to Tabs :). However, this is adorable too.
Karen says
Haha! Right now I’m actually trying to get a pic of them together… Tabs is being very fussy, though. He’s not in the mood to model! 🙂
How have you been?
