    		Its also the name of a Japanese project that measures gravity waves and the name of a vlliage in Tibet called Tama Gaon. See, who said trivia is trivial, see what I learned today.

    The legend of the Beckoning Cat begins at the Gotoku-ji temple, a Buddhist monastery that was hurting for money. Although the monks were starving, they made sure that their mi-ke cat named Tama ate. One day, the cat went out in front of the monastery, and began to sit on its hind legs and wave its paw.
