招き猫とは
猫は農作物や蚕を食べるネズミを駆除するため、古くは養蚕の縁起物でもあったが、養蚕が衰退してからは主に商売繁盛の縁起物とされています。
右手（前脚）を挙げている猫は金運を招き、左手（前脚）を挙げている猫は人（客）を招くとされます。
一般的には三毛猫ですが現在は種類も増えており、諸説ありますが恋愛運（桃）や魔除け（黒）など、様々な意味を持つようになっています。
とにかく可愛い、縁起物です。

What is a maneki-neko? (Lucky cat, fortune cat etc.: literally beckoning cat)
↵
In the past, cats were considered as a mascot of luck for the sericulture or the silkworm culture because they got rid of rats eating the agricultural products and the silkworms; however, they are considered as a mascot of luck, after declining of sericulture, mainly for the prosperous business↵

A common belief is that the right paw raised maneki-neko brings wealth and that of left paw raised brings people (customers).
Maneki-neko is commonly a calico cat, but the breeds are increasing in these days and having various meanings, though various rumors, including the one with rose pink as fate of love and that of with black as a talisman.
Anyway, they are the cute mascots of fortune.
