Summary: Tarot of the Cat People: A Travelers Report
Review: Beautiful artwork, but the cards are very cold and sterile. I'm a sci-fi fan who appreciates the creation of alien worlds and inventive traditions, but for tarot cards to have depth, they require archtypes and symbolism that the reader can relate to their own life rather than newly created worlds the reader is not familiar with. Buy these for the gorgeous pictures, but if you're looking for cards you can make a connection to, this is not a place I'd recommend to start.

Summary: This is my favorite Tarot deck!!
Review: I collect Tarot decks and also give face-to-face readings. I must say that of all of the different decks I own, The Tarot of the Cat People is by far my favorite! Something in those mysterious beings and their beautiful feline companions simply sparks my intuitive side. I've found that I tune to this deck very well and give my most accurate readings when using it. If you like cats both big and small, or like that Central American/Aztec/Mayan flavor, you'll love this deck as much as I do!

Summary: Great but..
Review: I'll say right away that this deck is one of my favorites. The art is done very well and I use the deck a lot. At the same time, I really don't think it's one of the better choices for beginners. I mean, I'm sure a beginner could start off with it. I started off with Arthurian and people say that's a complicated deck. The reason why i think it's a bad idea as a beginner's deck is that the symbolism gets confusing.
The Major Arcana is ruled by the Sky People, the Swords are ruled by the Fire People, Wands are ruled by the Sand People, Cups by Salt People and Pentacles by the Rock People. Certainly you would think that Wands would be ruled by the Fire People and what are these other elements about? It just throws me off. The easiest way for me to use this deck is to ignore the little white book completely and only think about it's true meaning. We're encouraged to learn through personal interpretation anyway, but most people skim through the book and the book is enough to confuse anyone.
All in all, I like it. Just ditch that LWB. LOL.

Summary: Be advised that this is just a book - not a deck
Review: In spite of the three reviews online (which appear to be about the deck), there are no cards included in this product. This is simply a companion book for the deck itself.

Summary: WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Review: Only 1,000 words??? Oh my! Let me begin by saying that I know absolutely nothing about tarot. I am 34 years old, and I've had a reading done once in my lifetime. I am, however, presently exploring my less rational/logical side...if that makes any sense...in a number of different ways. I am also a great lover of cats. Even the most recent stray to come to my house is a "lion dog" (Chow-Chow) and I was born, and exhibit all the traits of, a Leo. Lion (the chow) now joins my three-cat-(also former strays)-household as a member of this heavily feline-influenced family. Back to tarot -- this deck is absolutely beautiful for cat lovers! It seems to me, as uneducated as I am about tarot in general, that the facial features of the cats when compared to the humans on each card, is important in some way. I'll leave that observation for other explorers to figure out. I strongly recommend, for those equally as ignorant as I am, that they order the cards WITH the book. I should think that, no matter what deck a reader choses, the concise information about each of the cards as provided in this book would be helpful. Also, there is a very helpful 10-card layout grid, not mentioned in the review, which has assisted me tremendously. I got my set today (along with 2 others which I haven't opened yet), and immediately gave myself 2 readings on different topics. I had one cat on the table and the newly-adopted chow-chow at my feet. I was VERY impressed at the accuracy of the cards to my present life situation. I should probably add here that, prior to my experience with these cards 30 minutes ago, I was at best a skeptic and at worst a total disbeliever. I ordered the deck because I liked the artwork as I had seen it displayed at different web sites, and I originally intended to frame it to display on a wall b/c of my affection for cats.(BTW, for those beginners like me, there are several useful sites on the web to compare "the look" of decks before you buy. Just do a search on "tarot decks" or "tarot reviews".)In short, since I apparently haven't run out of my 1,000 words yet, I'm sure this deck will become my all-time favorite. I have NO REGRETS in purchasing it, and I believe it will be an excellent source for beginners. I'm not going to frame it after all. :)

Summary: Beautiful and Mysterious
Review: This is a beautiful, intruiging, fantastical, and yet adorable tarot card set. I love it. While I don't own any cats myself or consider myself a true "cat fanatic," the imagery of the cats on these cards is mysterious and yet quirkily adorable. I would recommend this set by all means.

Summary: Mystique of Cats and Tarot Meets SF/Fantasy Sensibility
Review: This is the 5th of my 7 (so far) decks.
The artwork for this deck was originally done as large format paintings, and it shows in the detail. The book, available individually or in the boxed set, gives the standard US Games card interpretations, as well as a creative and detailed 'travellers report'. Written from the perspective of a deep space exploration team, the book makes the deck especially enjoyable for science fiction fans. The illustrations have a fantasy feel, using lush costumes, jewelry, and settings. Of course, the deck is a _must have_ for cat lovers--there are cats on EVERY card, even in the position usually taken by the dog on the Fool card.
The artwork and interpretation of the cards definitely sets the right tone for a reading, and the deck stands alone purely on its artistic value. If you get the deck, I would strongly suggest getting the box set, or buying the book separately, as the booklet in the deck is the standard US Games booklet and gives only basic interpretations.
This deck is my 3rd favorite. The Aquarian deck is my favorite.
