The symbolism of the cat in Asia: In Far Eastern culture, the cat is an animal that carries positive meanings. It is traditionally associated with the protection of the home, luck, and prosperity. In Japan as in China, its presence evokes domestic harmony, vigilance, and abundance. Depicted here in a calm form, lying down and attentive, the cat enhances the benevolent and decorative aspect of the object.
