    Default Lucky Cat and Buddhist Statues

    Why do a lot of Chinese restaurants have both Lucky Cat and Buddhist statues? Are the Buddhist statues there for good luck? Why do people put money on the Buddhist statues?

    I'm just curious.

    The buddhist are there for safety and good luck, and the Lucky Cat brings wealth, as far as I know.

    Rather than spam and not answer the question...!

    It's part of Chinese culture. So to make it feel authentic, they add Asian elements to the restaurant.

    And considering the Buddhist statue brings good luck, I read, and the lucky cat brings wealth... (which has already been said)

    Of course they'd add it.

    The end!
    On this day of days, most epic and prideful, you were born 15 whole American years ago!
    Through the odds and by doing the impossible, you beat out hundreds of thousands of siblings in the great sperm race for the coveted egg.
    Probably via hax.
    Regardless! You won!
    So remember, whenever someone picks on you or calls you weak or small.
    Just remind them that you beat out a few hundred thousand other wimps.

    And the grand prize was not dying!

    As far as I know, depending on the color of the cat, it brings different kinds of "luck". A golden cat brings wealth, for example, while the a white cat brings luck.

    I don't go to a lot of Chinese restuarants, or Asian restuarants in general so I can't say I've had any experience of people putting money near a statue at a restuarant... but if they do, it's probably either to:
    1) donate to x (e.g. donate to build a temple if it's for religious purposes);
    2) because you believe that there's a higher chance of fortune if you offer something to the buddha statue?
