Customer Reviews

"Lucky Cat" is an excellent gift
While traveling through Asia I kept seeing these funny little ceramic cats with one paw in the air. I even saw one that was a clock, with the paw swinging back and forth to tick off the seconds. But they were just part of an already-foreign environment and I really didn't notice I had noticed them until I found "Lucky Cat" by Laurel Wellman. The ceramic cat made a great gift for a friend who needed some luck and the accompanying book filled us in on why so many people around the world have a Lucky Cat on their shelf. The book is interesting and well written, and our Lucky Cat was apparently made with care.

Very Satisfied
I bought this for my sister with the thought that she probably already owned it. Well, she didn't and loved it! I was very pleased. It is very cute.

great gift idea!
I bought this as a gift for my Mom, and she loved it, she put in a request for 3 more!
