Amulet effect

One of the reasons it is considered lucky is its ability to ward off evil spirits.

Cats have been worshipped since ancient times as beings that are "useful to people" and "blessed by people" due to their habit of catching mice. In particular, cats are famous for being worshipped as gods that ward off evil spirits in households whose livelihood is in the agricultural industry.

Cats are also nocturnal and can see well at night or in the dark, so they are believed to have the power to ward off evil. They came to be seen as auspicious creatures that ward off evil and bring good luck.

White cats are auspicious

Among white cats, there are albino cats, which are born without pigment. The difference between them and normal white cats is the color of their eyes. Albino white cats have red eyes, and because they are a rare breed that is born very rarely, they have gained the image of being "lucky cats." Lucky cat goods often have white cats as a motif.

Odd-eyed cats are considered lucky

Cats with different colored eyes, known as heterochromatic cats, are also considered lucky cats because they are a rare breed. Only about 10% of cats are born with heterochromatic eyes. They have been cherished as a rare breed. They are unusual in appearance and give off a divine impression, so there are many items with heterochromatic cats as a motif.
