<p>My boyfriend got me a small box of bookmarks off the internet, however they are all in Chinese. I have tried translating them through Google Translate but had no luck as it is not picking up all the characters. I would love to start using them as they are very cute but I'm hoping they do not accidentally say something inappropriate.</p>
<p>I have attached the photo of the bookmarks below.

You may be interested to know that cats, the feline, in Japanese culture symbolizes "good luck", or all things positive. Thus you see the cat figurine maneki-neko (招き猫) or “beckoning cat” in shop windows, restaurant premises and now, bookmarks.
