A cat with its right paw raised is said to attract wealth, while a cat with its left paw raised is said to attract people (customers). In Feng Shui, the meaning also differs depending on the color: blue is said to represent "academic success" and "traffic safety," red represents "love," and black represents "warding off evil and illness." If you want to improve your financial luck, choose a cat with its right paw raised, and if you want to build good relationships, choose a cat with its left paw raised.
