Everything you need to know about the Maneki-neko pet in Roblox Grow a Garden

Maneki-neko is an Uncommon rarity pet that resembles the iconic Japanese lucky cat. It has a simple white body, with a red collar and a gold bell, which looks adorable in-game. One of its front paws is raised and moves in a waving motion, which isn't there just to match the vibe of the lucky cat, but it also signals when its special ability is active.

The key feature of the Maneki-neko is its passive skill called Fortune Cat. Every two minutes, the pet waves its paw and activates a 10-second buff. During this time period, any fruits that you sell have an 8% chance to be refunded back to your inventory, and you keep the money as well. Keep in mind that rare fruits have a significantly lower chance of being refunded.

The Maneki-neko pet can be unlocked from Kitsune or Exotic Kitsune Chests, with roughly one-third chance of getting it. Both chests are priced at 199 coins, making them fairly affordable.

To take full advantage of Maneki-neko's buff, you should wait until it starts waving before you sell any of the fruits. If you have multiple Maneki-neko pets on your plot, the refund chances can stack.
