Signboard Cat (2005-07-09)
Some nice shop owners will just let their pet, usually a cat, roam around in their shops. Not only will these cats not interfere with business, they often attract customers, thus bringing in more business for the owners.
These cats have a special name. They are called Kanban Neko
which means "signboard cat". As the name suggests, they become
the walking advertising signboard for the shop. But most often
than not, owners don't put their feline friend in the store to draw
people in, they just want to be with their pet even when they're at
work. And that's a nice thing for both the owners and the cats.
