This kit includes a small paperback companion book and a 60-card deck. I first used this deck in July 2025. I found this at Half Price Books (HPB), and I like cats and cat-themed decks I took a chance on it. 

The book is arranged as follows:  

• Introduction. This discusses a bit about cats' lives and their relationship with humans. It highlights some of the wisdom cats share with us. As the authors write, "you can use these cards just for fun, have a laugh or two, or to go a little deeper into seeing, valuing, and appreciating the lessons life puts before you" (2). The introduction gives some ideas for times where you can use the deck. In addition, the introduction includes suggestions on clearing and infusing the cards, how to read the cards, and using the cards with a journal. 
• Card entries. The entries are in alphabetical order. Each entry includes card title, card image in color, a message phrase, interpretation, and a short list of "other thoughts to stalk." You get about two pages per card entry.

The book is light and very easy to read. The introductory material is basic, and it strives to give options for using the deck. The card entries have some substance. You can probably read the cards intuitively combined with the card image, title, and message. However, you can get more insight if you read the book. The "other thoughts to stalk" can work for personal reflection and for journal prompts. It is a nice book. 

The card art is colorful. These are mainly paintings. Most images are realistic. The images are colorful and expressive. The images often have a bit of humor and a bit of lightheartedness. 

This is a good deck for daily and/or weekly draws. As I mentioned, you can use them for journaling. You can also use them for divination. I would also suggest this deck can work well with cat-themed Tarot decks, an idea I would like to try out sometime. 

The cards measure about 5 1/2 inches by 3 3/4 inches. The cards have a glossy finish. Between the glossy finish and the size the deck may be a bit difficult to shuffle. The deck can feel a bit heavy on the hands. The card back art is nice, but it is not reversible. However, the deck is not designed for reversals. 

Still, this is a nice deck overall. It has a positive vibe, yet at times it can look at shadow issues. If you have cats or are a fan of cats, this may be a good deck for you. Personally, this is a deck I would keep in my work office for daily message draws. It was a pleasant discovery for me, and I do recommend it. It is one I would get as a gift for the cat lovers in my life. 

5 out of 5 stars.

On final side note, turns out the publisher also has a dog-themed deck.  While I am pretty much a cat person, I do appreciate dogs, plus the deck may go well with the dog-themed Tarot deck I have. If I can find it, I will get it.
