Which coat colour is the Maneki neko (lucky cat) based on?
1 Answer
The Maneki neko, or lucky cat, is usually depicted with a white coat. This white coat is based on the Japanese Bobtail breed of cat, which has a distinctive white fur with black or brown patches. The Maneki neko is believed to bring good luck and fortune to its owner, so it is a popular symbol in Japan and other parts of Asia.
