Lucky Neko & other stuff cats

朋友 Amy 的布偶貓名字叫「招喜」名字起的好，真的比「招財」要好，也更加實惠。財來財去並非福氣，喜氣進門，皆大歡喜。祝「招喜貓*」*益壽延年，
* Lucky Neko, a stuffed cat waving in good luck, in the same fashion as the well known cat waving in money in Japanese culture.
* 這隻「招喜貓」，顯然傳承自日本商家的金字招牌 「招財貓」，貓咪圓滾滾的肚子是招進太多銅版，還是吃太多油水？
嘴角彎成兩道弧線，兩眼咪成雙縫，
滿桌不同的布偶，都是趴臥著的貓

這是隻拼布臥貓
遇見牠時和精品文具擺在一桌
這貓咪有何用途？
既無皮毛也沒份量，做為寵物
稍嫌輕量級吧？
A patchwork cat found in a gift shop. You can use it for patting as a pet. You can use it as a wrist rest writing calligraphy or just to rest your wrist. You can also use it to cover your eyes for resting them allowing no light getting through when napping.
Indeed such a multi-purpose Cat !
Easy to handle and not taking up space
好用又不佔地方

這是拼布貓的幾個變身
當初設計成臥貓，當文具使用
近年已不寫書法
撰文通訊都藉 iPad 觸鍵輸入
好處在修改字句迅捷又能存檔待用
現代人必備的工具/玩物
買了個座墊給 iPad 省點腕力
拼布貓居然坐了上去
從工具用品瞬間升級成使用者

這隻花貓和不倒貓正好相反
她少了根脊樑骨
椅子坐不住 眼看要滑下去
要知這不是她的正常工作地點
這是隻熱水袋貓咪
肚皮內有一水袋裝滿熱水
她就能上床為你暖腳
看似上世紀的產品
沒料到在科技發達的今日尚能見到
大概是貓咪的前世
不小心坐了穿越時空的班機
來到了一個世紀後的世界
This calico cat is a hot bottle warmer
A cavity in it’s belly with container to fill hot water
Quite a common place foot warmer in the old days
of the last century
你若忘了不倒貓是那一隻貓
看起來聰明伶俐
本事其實平常 Should you forget the name of this cat
就是穩坐如泰山 Daruma Neko is his name
「不倒貓」是牠中文名字 Daruma is his Japanese name, also
他有個別號 叫做..………… Nicknamed : “Lost and found cat”
那是另一個故事
這是他的肖像 => Watercolor
