Great cat cards
I have just opened the deck and I am having a fun time reading with these cards. They are very cat with lots of cat behavior depicted in the cards. The Little White Book has a few common spreads and brief explanations of each card (like the RWS deck) and the deck is RWS based. The card stock is nice, not too thick. The cards fit well in my female 5'7" hands and they are comfortable to shuffle. The cards don't stick together and tend to slide by each other pretty well. The backs of the deck are such that you are not able to tell whether the cards are upright or reversed from the back of the deck. The pictures are very nice and there is a 1/4 inch border in case you would want to cut the cards down a bit to make the deck easier to handle for smaller hands. If you are into cats, it is a cute, cartoony deck to use for all sorts of readings. I am very happy that I purchased this deck and I am looking forward to digging into it a lot deeper over the next few weeks!

I ordered this deck a few days ago not certain of what to expect, but Cat Tarot has quickly become a favorite. I don't own a lot of fluffy decks, my tastes are usually more esoteric, and I'm not one of those old cat ladies who live down the street swilling tea and knitting booties for her feline pets, either. But this deck is amazing. The packaging is awesome, the little white book is a little purple book, the card stock is high quality, the backs are beautiful, and the cattization of familiar RWS-format cards is both witty and wise. The Megan Lynn Kott's beautiful artwork and Julia Smillie's narration of the booklet make an excellent pairing. The box is too cute to be believed. I am shocked more people haven't bought/reviewed this deck. (Then again, I have heard of some people trying to order it but learning it would take 1-2 months to ship? I didn't have that problem a few days ago). I hope they are back in plentiful stock soon. Note to parents whose children are always wanting to play with your tarot cards: this deck would be an awesome gift for a young learner. There is no nudity or frightening imagery in these whimsical cards. They are sure to delight people of all ages and experience levels.
Great Cats Not Enough Tarot
I really like this deck. As a work of art I love having it in my collection but as a Tarot deck it's not very useful. It doesn't follow the typical RW symbolism and feels slightly Marseille to me which is not my favorite so using the Cat Tarot is a bit problematic. I would not recommend it to a novice. If you love cats, beautiful art and a little Tarot sprinkled on top I say go for it. As an everyday deck I would not recommend it. I did use it for a reading to a friend with a mischievous cat and the cards did point out a few key issues in solving some of the problems my friend had with her cat.
If you like the general playful and naughty nature of cats, get this tarot!
The cards are good sized. The illustrations are clear and straight forward. The artwork is fun and funny. The guidebook fits in the box. Everything was really well thought out. Definitely for cat lovers.
fantastic quality for the price!
These cards are great! As someone who owns more than a couple of tarot decks, the cardstock on these is superb for the price. This deck is friendly and has a very aesthetically pleasing color palate - even some of the darker cards of the deck are rather light hearted. The images themselves are fantastic, cute, colorful without overdoing it, and harmonious and for the most part true to the tarot and not too gimmicky. My only gripe is that the images don't always lend themselves to intuitive interpretation, however this deck comes with a guidebook so it's not that big of a turnoff. The guidebook itself is great and includes interpretations for upright and reversed cards. I haven't used it for a reading yet because i just got it today, but I am more than pleased with this purchase. If you like tarot and you also happen to like cats get this deck!
ADORBS!
If you're a cat lover and tarot collector then you will love this deck! I resonate best with images that are original illustrations, as opposed to CGI-type creations, and this deck is resplendent with original art! There is some slight deviation in the images from traditional RSW decks, which I enjoy, but this may make tarot interpretations a little more challenging for those newly exploring tarot. For example, the King of Pentacles card depicts an image of an orange kitty with his nose in a jar breathing in the heady aroma of rich cat treats. All righty then. I get it, but a beginner may, um, not. Other reviewers had issues with the card stock. My cards were cut beautifully but I don think they're as durable as some of the cards from my other decks; however, this is no biggie for me. Overall, if you love cats and tarot decks then by all means, buy this gem!
Super nice box but...
I exchanged the 1st deck I rec'd because the cards were all different sizes The box however is super nice! The 2nd deck I rec'd appeared to be some better but still not a flawless cut as ANY card deck should be. Also, the backs show chipping around the edges of quite a few cards. If this weren't a 'cat deck' I would return this one to; for a refund. This will have to be a "look but don't use" deck for me. I would have much rather seen a tuck box with fantastic card stock than a fantastic box & crummy card stock! I really hate to 'crack' on this deck but Priorities Please !! Card stock is more important than the box!!
Cat Tarot
I am returning to tarot and I’ve not had a deck in a decade. This deck really resonates with me - I’ve used it twice so far and I feel it was very accurate both times. I love the watercolor artwork and all the cats are beautiful. Admittedly I decided on this deck because of the grey tabby on the cover with a card in her mouth - this tabby reminds me so much of my beloved cat.
Super cute. Thick card stock. Better for side shuffling.
Amazing tarot cards for cat lovers. Took me a minute to realize symbols for the suits, I may have skipped the book having known the original RWS meanings, oops. (White triangle for swords, Red circle w/ line for wands, Blue half circle for cups, and Green circles for pentacles) Probably not a best first time deck if you're trying to learn Rider-Waiter Smith and intuitive reading, but a super cute companion deck. I find these hard to shuffle as you would normal playing cards, but a side shuffle works well, or splitting into three decks to shuffle. You have to be careful not to bend too much because it can leave a permanent bend in the cards because of the kind of cardstock it is. If you love kitties, cute things, or just a collector, buy these!!
Love it, except....
These cards are adorable and very readable (unless you’re the only person on the planet who doesn’t at least enjoy playful silly cat videos). I am also happy that I feel comfortable letting my daughter enjoy learning tarot with these cards. I super-heart this deck! I did deduct one star however because the box had no shrink wrap or anything to keep it safe and closed through the shipping process. The deck and book were shrink wrapped inside the box and there is no apparent damage. I order many tarot decks via Amazon and this is the only one I have ever received that was not securely packaged, so I am leaning towards thinking this was an open return before I bought it as “new”. But if you are familiar with tarot, cleansing a deck is expected territory anyway. I just don’t think it should have been listed as new or that I should have paid “new” pricing either.
