The term Money Cat describes a female domestic cat or house cat generally of 3 or more colors. The name possibly originates in the Northeastern United States (see New England) and can be traced back to as early as the 19th century in the story The House of Seven Gables by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Possession of a happy money cat is considered equivalent to possessing a lucky talisman or charm, and thought to imbue one with good fortune or good luck. Unlike talismans, possession of a money cat does not require her continuous presence in order for the luck to have an effect.

Lending assistance to a distressed money cat earns the granting of a single, reasonable wish.

Not surprisingly, causing injury or death to such a creature is considered unlucky (see curse).
