Real-life information

The maneki-neko (招き猫?), meaning beckoning cat, is a Japanese figurine said to give good luck to the owner. Usually made of ceramic or plastic, the cat is usually depicted under the Japanese Bobtail breed, but other variants were also created, including black to ward off evil, and yellow/gold for wealth. The cat holds a koban coin, and has one paw raised in a beckoning gesture; this paw may be mechanized to move back and forth.
The maneki-neko was thought to have originated from Edo (present-day Tokyo), where Imado dolls were sold in the region. The earliest known recording of the maneki-neko dates back to 1852, in the ukiyo-e piece Joruri-machi Hanka no zu.

- ↑ Re-Tail sell price; can be sold for 80% of this price ( 340 Bells) at Timmy and Tommy's store
- ↑ As a standard furniture item available from Timmy and Tommy's store, this item is also available from the following sources: shaking trees; gifts from villagers and campers; the player's birthday; balloons (if the item's rarity group is very rare); and the police station (if the item's rarity group is common)
- ↑ Filly and Holden cannot legitimately move to the player's town via normal gameplay, but a default house layout can be observed via hacking. They share the same housing layout.
