Product Information
Full details
This B&Q Money Cat Waving Lucky Charm is designed for individuals looking to invite prosperity, wealth, and good fortune into their homes or businesses. Its primary benefit is the continuous waving motion intended to attract financial opportunities and positive interactions. A key consideration is that the battery compartment lacks a cover and an on/off button, meaning it operates continuously once a battery is inserted. The product aims to bring good luck, wealth, and business opportunities through its traditional symbolism and motion.

FAQs
What does the waving cat symbolize?
The Money Cat (Maneki-neko) is a traditional charm believed to bring good luck, wealth, prosperity, and opportunities to its owner. The left paw is often depicted waving to beckon wealth and customers.
How many batteries does it need and what type?
It requires one (1) AAA battery, which is not included with the product.
Does it have an on/off switch?
No, the battery compartment does not have an on/off button. The cat is designed to wave continuously once a battery is inserted.
Can I turn it off without removing the battery?
No, there is no separate on/off switch. To stop the waving, you must remove the battery.
Where is the best place to put the money cat?
It is traditionally placed in a prominent location such as a reception desk, cashier counter, or home office, facing the entrance to invite good fortune.
How do I clean the money cat?
Gently wipe the surface with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
What should I do if the battery compartment has no cover?
This is by design. The product is engineered for continuous operation without a battery cover.
Troubleshooting
Cat is not waving.
Ensure a fresh AAA battery is inserted with the correct polarity. Check that the battery contacts are clean. If the issue persists, try a different AAA battery.
Waving motion is weak or erratic.
This may indicate a low battery. Replace the AAA battery with a new one. Ensure the battery is seated correctly in the compartment.
