What is this figure? Where can I find another one?

I received it as a gift a long time ago and want to get another one. It's about 3" tall and about as round. It's made of some kind of lightweight ceramic/clay material. If I remember correctly, the box it came in indicated that they were available in different colors, with each color indicating a different "function," i.e. financial success, luck, etc.

Thanks!

Check your local chinese district/store.

This store has that particular design of Maneki Neko, but not in pink. It's a fairly popular design, so it's got to be out there somewhere.

Response by poster: Thanks for the replies everyone. Since the kitty is really round, I didn't really think of it as waving (I guess beckoning?). The arm is more of a bulge than something very distinct.

This will give me a head start to finding a new one.

Response by poster: On preview - that's the exact one B(oYo)BIES! Perfect.
