In between bites of General Zso’s chicken at a restaurant in Lancaster, PA, Shadow got all militant when he spotted what he thought was a “Lucky Cat” mocking him.
A Lucky Cat, also known as a “Beckoning Cat” or “Welcoming Cat” is a popular Chinese sculpture of a cat with an upright paw. But a scientist at the University of Pittsburgh explains a different story:
“In the groundhog culture,” he explains, “a raised left paw can have any number of mocking connotations, including ‘you dance like a constipated lemming.’”
The crisis was averted when management told Shadow they’d be honored if he drank from the restaurant’s coy pond.
