Cats have taken over the roles of court ladies, knights and hermits. In this deck they wear medieval robes, hold chalices or sit on thrones. The cards are based on the 15th-century Italian tarot tradition, particularly the Visconti-Sforza cards.
The style recalls ancient manuscripts and frescoes: fine lines, a rich colour palette and close attention to the details of clothing and setting. Each card shows a cat in a human pose, often with a subtle look that adds nuance to the card's meaning.
The Major Arcana follows the classic structure, from The Fool to The World. The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits: wands, swords, cups and pentacles. The court cards show cats as page, knight, queen and king.
The imagery stays close to traditional tarot meanings. A cat in knight's armour on the Knight of Swords, a cat among cups on the Seven of Cups. The symbolism is recognisable, but the execution gives it a playful layer.
The format is notably slender: 64 x 120 mm. This fits the historical style and makes the cards pleasant to shuffle. The glossy finish protects against daily use and makes the colours stand out.
The cards work for all common spreads. The symbolism is clear enough for beginners, the historical depth offers enough to keep experienced readers engaged. The 48-page guidebook describes the meanings for each card and includes several basic spreads.
During a reading, pay attention to the cats' facial expressions. A tilted ear, a half-closed eye: often there is an extra hint there.
Lawrence Teng lives in Richmond, Canada, and illustrates mainly esoteric themes. His work for this deck shows that he can reproduce historical styles without it feeling forced. The balance between historical accuracy and playful execution is just right.
Do the cards remain readable despite the playful theme?
Yes. The imagery follows the classic tarot structure. The cats replace human figures, but the symbolism remains intact. An experienced reader immediately recognises which card is in front of them.
How do the cards feel when shuffling?
The glossy finish makes them glide smoothly. The narrow format makes them easy to handle, even for smaller hands. They feel sturdy, not too thin.

This is a gorgeous deck, based on the old Italian style, with RWS related images in miniature on the pips. It would probably make a good deck for RWS readers who would like to try the world of pip cards but who aren't ready to go all the way just yet. I was having trouble finding this deck but here it was all along. For a great price and with fast shipping. I couldn't be happier.
