Maneki Neko Beckoning
What does it say on my Maneki Neko?

Hello, I got "beckoning cat" a few months ago and I was wondering if anyone can translate the writing on it's arm and the thing it's holding to English.
I believe it's Japanese writing. I'm really not sure, though. Please excuse my ignorance!

Here's a link to the photo. I hope it's not too blurry http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss331/wemetinpizzeria/ManekiNeko.jpg

Thanks!

It's callled a 招財貓 in Chinese.
These are almost always used in Chinese, Japanese or possibly Korean stores.
What's on the cat is almost always either 一万両, "10000 taels" or 千万両 "10000000 taels" on the sign below on of the paws. This is a special one: It also has 招財進寶 in Traditional Chinese under the left paw:

一万 = 10000 in Simplified Chinese
千万 = 10000000 in Simplified Chinese
両, taels = Chinese currency in ancient times.
招財 = to beckon wealth
進寶 = "into the treasure", short for 進入寶庫, "To put into a vault or any place where money or treasures are stored."
