Lucky Coffee

September 29 is both Maneki Neko Day and National Coffee Day.

Funny thing; October 1 is International Coffee Day.

That's just two days away.

Why?  Who knows.

Maybe someone didn't drink their coffee before setting up either holiday. 😹

These bamboo Maneki Neko socks were purchased at The Lucky Cat MEWseum in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Had a great time there; encourage any who is nearby to stop in and enjoy!

"The maneki-neko (招き猫, lit. 'beckoning cat') is a common Japanese figurine which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner." - Wikipedia

Coffee makes the world go 'round.

Even us tea drinkers know it.

As long as The Hubby can get a cup of hot-as-Hades/black-as-sin at any coffee shop, I'll get an Earl Grey cuppa, and merrily we roll along.

Bring The Luck

 September 29 is Maneki Neko Day in Japan.

The beckoning cat figurine or statue is considered to be a talisman of good luck.

The date itself is a clever wordplay – "9" (ku) and "2" (fu) can be read as "kuru fuku," meaning "come, good fortune."

While visiting the Feline Historical Museum in Alliance, Ohio in 2019, there was a display of unique and beautiful Maneki Neko.

Big or small, we all could use a Maneki Neko or two around...in a location, of course, where our cats cannot get their paws on them.

1 October is International Coffee Day.

29 September is National Coffee Day in the U.S. 

Grab a mug of your favorite java, and enjoy!

The Hubby loves his coffee as hot as lava, and as black as sin.

Every time I take a sip from his cup, I cannot help but make a face...eww!

GAK!!!!

Goes to show, if we were all the same, how boring life would be!

Have collected these images because I like the space alien vibe!

Maneki Neko Day

Today, the 29th of September, Japan celebrates Maneki Neko (Beckoning Cat) Day.

Maneki Neko brings happiness, good luck, and wealth to homes, businesses, and their customers.

Why was the 29th of September chosen as Maneki Neko Day?

In Japanese, the number 9 is pronounced as KU and that sounds like this verb ‘kuru’ 来る meant COME.

Then, the number 2 is pronounced FU and as l mentioned before the number 9 is KU so we can make the word FUKU福with the number 29. That means GOOD LUCK.

The pronunciation of 9.29 can be written KURUFUKU来る福as ‘Good luck is coming’ and that is related to Maneki Neko.

We are thankful to have two Maneko Nekos at Eastside Cats.

The cutie on the red stand, with a Lucky Cat book tucked inside, was a gift from my neice.

The larger one was brought from Japan by my boss.

There is the Lucky Cat Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio, which I would love to visit someday.
