A cat is a cat. A cat's body is soft and low, its long tail helps balance, and its teeth and claws are sharp, which means that a cat is an animal adapted to hunting life. According to records, the earliest history of keeping cats can be traced back to Egypt in BC 1500.
In China, cats are a symbol of good luck. Many people have seen The Picture of Cats and Butterflies: cute kittens play with colorful butterflies, or are surrounded by clusters of peony flowers. The auspicious implication of this picture is longevity and wealth, because "Cat Butterfly" is the homonym of "octogenarian", which was the name of people aged 80 or 90 in ancient China.
Then lucky cats can be divided into male cats and female cats. Male cats raise their right hands to symbolize lucky money, wealth and happiness. The mother cat raised her left hand, symbolizing a wide range of good relations and thousands of guests. Most of the shops are female cats. I believe that as long as there are crowds, there will basically be Qian Chao. Therefore, the general lucky cat mainly refers to the female cat.
