One thing that strikes me when I read some of the posts concerning cats, which one started the fortune cat?? The fortune cat is infamous to the Chinese and Japanese and I am leaning towards it being a Japanese thing, because I know that back in the old days, being chinese, the currency where solid shapes(oddish shape) and little round coins with holes in the middle while I guess Japan's currency was flat oval coins which is what the fortune cat holds in one paw with the other paw up.
