In darkness, the arm will be still. It resumes when light returns, which makes it a natural indicator of room light levels as well as a decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs gold the most traditional colour for a lucky cat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — gold and white are the most historically common colours for Maneki-neko in Japanese tradition.
