Nine lives of wisdom await in this feline-focused tarot deck for the spiritually curious cat lover.
Debra M. Givin, drawing on decades of veterinary experience, crafts a visually arresting deck that reimagines the Rider-Waite-Smith system through a feline lens. Standard suits are replaced by mice, birds, fish, and reptiles, creating a unique symbolic language. Each card narrates a story from the perspective of a cat, blending traditional esoteric structure with accessible, playful imagery. This deck serves as both a divinatory tool and a meditation on the complex, mysterious nature of our feline companions, offering guidance that is as entertaining as it is insightful.
Rooted in the modern esoteric tradition of accessible tarot reinterpretations, this work bridges classical Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism with contemporary popular culture and animal spirituality. It reflects a growing trend within English-language occult bookshops to present divinatory tools through specific, relatable thematic lenses for broader spiritual curiosity.

Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. It's become a regular reference in my practice. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Still worth having on the shelf.
Needed this for my research. Every rereading turns up something I missed.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Definitely recommend.
This edition finally does the material justice. You can tell why this work has endured. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. Every rereading turns up something I missed. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. A keeper.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere.
While visually arresting and charming, this deck may not suit serious students seeking rigorous traditional correspondences or strict adherence to classical esoteric structures. The playful, accessible imagery prioritizes entertainment and feline affinity over dense scholarly depth, potentially disappointing those who view tarot solely as a tool for advanced occult study. However, for the spiritually curious cat owner, it offers a refreshing, warm entry point into divination. It excels as a companion for light reading and intuitive connection rather than heavy academic analysis, making it a niche but lovely addition to any shelf dedicated to animal-themed spirituality.
