Maneki - Neko mania at Daiso Malaysia

Sweet Jesus and Mother of God what on earth have I done ?

The month has not ended and yet I have failed , I have lost the will to glue my wallet opening together and caved in to cute temptation .

Black Maneki - Neko

Daiso is a really good place to hunt for maneki-neko of various designs .

 This year alone , they released so many , I cannot possibly go snap up all in one shot because hubs will say something like

" we are having ceramic cat for dinner tonight " 

Sheesh . Have to control . 

Giant Lucky Khao Manee Cat ขาวมณี - Thailand's Maneki-neko

Maneki-neko cats aren't the only cats that bring luck. 

The Thai version is an ancient white breed , with gold or blue eyes, known as Khao Manee ขาวมณี  or the Diamond Eye Cat which is reputed to bring good luck and prosperity to the owner. As not everyone of us will ever have the chance to actually pet one, you can now head on down to Siam Square and pose with a Beckoning Giant Lucky Khao Manee Cat !
