Today is Maneki-Neko Day!

The maneki-neko is a popular Japanese figurine that is believed to bring good luck and fortune to its owner. These figures depict a Japanese Bobtail cat with its paw raised in a beckoning gesture. In many cases, the paw is mechanized and swings back and forth.

You often see the maneki-neko at the entrance of business to beckon or welcome customers inside. While it is very popular in Chinatowns all over the world, the maneki-neko's orgins are Japanese.

The maneki-neko comes in many colors, shapes and sizes. If you're ever in Cincinnati, Ohio, check out the The Lucky Cat Museum in Cincinnati thatover 2,000 versions of the maneki-neko.

Happy FURiday! Today I get to share **my** story with you! https://boisecatclinic.com/2023/09/18/adopt-a-less-adoptable-pet-week-september-18-24/

I was born without eyes, a condition called anophthalmia. I was found on the side of the road during the night by a good samaritan and I weighed just over one pound.

Luckily for me, Dr. Roller was looking to adopt a special needs cat, specifically a blind cat. While she was performing a dental procedure, the call came that a blind black kitten named Mr. Magoo was in the clinic looking for a home. I went home with Dr. Roller that night, got a new name, and the rest is history!

I use my paws to navigate and I orient myself based on texture such as rugs and hardwoods. To keep my environment consistent, my family avoids moving furniture and leaving unexpected objects on the floor. I am very sensitive to sound. I love music and singing and especially the sound of brush bristles - I love to help any project involving a brush!

My family says "Never underestimate a blind cat's ability to adapt and live a fulfilling life." They are amazed at how much I've learned despite being unable to watch another cat's example of how to do things. They would not hesitate to adopt another blind kitty!
