The maneki-neko of Goutoku-ji temple are ordinarily white cats. She, however, was born a calico cat, and it seems that she struggled quite a bit due to her appearance. At times, she was shunned as a poor imitation, and at other times, those around her tried to dye her fur. But because she spat back at them that there was nothing wrong with being calico, she was ultimately cast out from the group, and was unable to partake in her maneki-neko training.
