Maneki Neko FAIL

June 26, 2019 By: Summer Samba35 Comments

My human liked all the decorations she got for Cat World Domination Day so much that she decided to used them for a photo session. One of the shots will probably wind up in my 2020 calendar.

Sadly, she didn’t give me anymore catnip tea. She said it was too distracting.

We tried putting the tea set in several different places.

This seemed to be the best set up. My human wanted my bow to be in the shot.

I even tried doing the famous Maneki Neko wave, but I never did get it right. It’s hard! I guess I’m just not that kind of lucky cat. Even though I am pretty lucky!

I did manage to put my paw on the tea pot when my human wanted me to!

    Interesting, considering how great you are with High Fives, which has a hand position very similar to the Maneki Cat Wave!

    They all came great but in the third one, it looks like you have clown shoes on. Not that you wouldn’t look good with clown shoes. Heh heh. That kimono was quite a find.

    I knew that was a kimono as soon as my eye just barely saw your picture and you look fab in it! Perfect color too!

    The Maneki Neko decoration is so cool and those are such great photos!
    Maneki Neko wave is really difficult but you are a lucky cat indeed!

    I really REALLY like you in your kimono.
    You need to work that into your calendar.
    Maybe a picture in May (or whichever is the
    correct month) with cherry blossoms and small
    paper parasols? Everything with the cat
    domination was so well coordinated in color
    and theme! (Maybe a small box covered with a
    napkin could be a table for the tea set?)
