Cat Tarot

Cat Tarot - classic tarot with cats in every role

Some decks reinterpret the archetypes, some give them a wink. Cat Tarot does both. Diana Cammarano and Carole-Anne Eschenazi replace the figures from the classical tarot with cats, but keep the symbolism sharp and recognizable.

What you get: historical icons as feline characters. Genghis Cat, Catlin Monroe, Christopher Catlumbus. The imagery is cheerful and colourful, but the structure remains that of the Rider-Waite tradition. It is a deck that makes you laugh and still delivers answers.

What you see on the cards

The illustrations are lively and expressive. Each card shows a cat in a recognizable role, from emperor to fool, from swords to pentacles. The colours are bright and striking, the compositions clear.

The card stock is sturdy, the finish smooth. Shuffling is easy. The size of 70 x 120 mm is compact enough for smaller hands, large enough to see the details.

The guidebook is concise but clear. Each card is explained in a way that connects the classical meaning to the feline theme. It works as a memory aid, not as dogma.

How the deck behaves

Many people use Cat Tarot for daily cards. The light tone lowers the threshold for pulling a card and asking yourself a question. Yet the readings remain surprisingly sharp.

The deck follows the traditional tarot structure of 78 cards: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. Those familiar with Rider-Waite will recognize the scenes immediately. Beginners will find an accessible entry point to tarot without it becoming childish.

Pull a daily card and ask yourself which feline quality you need today: calm, curiosity, independence or perhaps a healthy dose of courage.
