M.V. Trading Co. Beckoning Ceramic Maneki Neko Lucky Cat 7in

Have wanted one of these years.Got it recently and we are very pleased.

I am very happy with this ceramic cat! He is beautiful and hand painted. It came very well packaged and protected. I had read the reviews before I ordered and noticed some others mentioned how the cat didn't wave or move is arm and if it did, it stopped after a short time.One review also mentioned that she looked in the battery compartment and jiggled the battery to one side and poof, it worked. I had the same experience, the cat did not function when I inserted the battery so I looked in the battery area and with a butter knife jiggled the metal piece where the battery goes and gently pushed it to the right side and it worked. However, when I picked up the cat to show it to my friends it happened again, so the trick is to not move the cat around too much because the metal piece around where you place the battery seems to slide a little to the wrong side ever so slightly, then it stops working.Now I just don't move the cat around and when I need to dust the table, I just drag the cat or slide the cat to the other side of the table and dust that area then slide the cat back.The colors are beautiful and it is not a small cat, its about 7 inches tall, very noticeable to the eye. I received it in the mail on March 14 and it is now April 18 and the cat is still waving away. That's pretty good and it is still going strong. I will update this review when the battery finally dies to let you know how long the battery lasts. I really like this cat, he is very jolly and whenever I look at him, he is a constant reminder for me to smile and be happy. :)Hello, today is 4/23/2016 , I am updating the this review. A month and 9 days is how long the battery lasted for this cute cat. Not bad, uh? This battery was new but in a draw for a couple of months before I used it so perhaps if the battery is fresh, (newly bought) it may last a bit longer.

I ordered two of these. One for a gift and one for myself. After receiving them one worked and the other one didn’t. I contacted the seller M.V. Trading and got a instant response. They are very easy to deal with and just a few days later received a new cat at no charge. It works perfectly. I am very satisfied with everything about the cats and the service! They are super adorable.

The media could not be loaded. I should have read the reviews before buying, but when I received it, the battery cover was stated it’s missing and you can see inside the cat through a hole in the bottom. I checked to make sure the batteries still stay and it works— and everything was good. Its just for my 5 yr old daughter, so she won’t mind, but still. I am not sure if they tell you in the amazon description that the piece is missing, but they should.

Initially we were dissapointed. We had to do a little repair when we got it. But that worked out fine & now we are happy with it. There is only a little surface area that holds the mechanism to the bottom underside of the cat. It was falling out & we had to hot glue it in place, in order for the Cat to work.
