A notable detail is the card back, which features a striking Sphinx cat beneath a glowing moon. This design choice enhances the deck's mysterious atmosphere and ensures that even when the cards are face down, the magic is palpable. The themes center around intuition, nature, and the spiritual bond between humans and their feline companions.
