Cat Tarot

Cat Tarot--yes, there is one-- featuring cats doing cat things, and I love it. I got mine at Barnes and Noble; but Amazon sells it too. You might do some math and see if getting it in person is cheaper than shipping (I suspect it is if you have a coupon or a discount card). Check out these bad cats:

They are true to the original card meanings--the pip cards take a little squinting because the suit markers are small spot icons in the corner, but once you figure them out, they are fine--if you look at the cover of the box you can see the icon for the cups, below that the coins/pentacles, on the right the triangle for a stubby sword/claw, and below that the wand with a disk in the center for the numbers..maybe a cat toy?

Closer view of The Hermit, who I think has a cousin on the sides of the box:

Check out The Devil:

And Death, the vacuum cleaner:

The only card that is off, is amusing--"Justice" is a cat "biting the hand that feeds it"--but that is an accurate cat behavior. More cat behavior:

Yes, it's all true.:D  The card quality is nice, not super deluxe but not overly thick or slippery; they are a good size and you can shuffle them, and the box itself opens easily because of the large cutouts on the ends, while still staying closed when you shut it. The booklet has cat-centered meanings that are appropriate for humans as well; and overall it's a fun, light and amusing deck that I am glad to have.
