So many tarot lovers are also cat lovers. I must admit I am the exception. Yes, I have loved a few kitties over the years, but I am not what you would call a "cat person." Therefore, I would likely never meet the artist of the new Cat's Eye Tarot in her day job as a veterinarian.

I love it when smart people go public as tarotists. I admire someone who is multi-talented enough to make it through veterinary school, keep a medical practice, read tarot, be an artist and create a tarot deck.

The marriage of cats and tarot has created some interesting offspring. We have Tarot of the Cat People, Medieval Cat Tarot, Tarot of the Pagan Cats, and Baroque Bohemian Cats' Tarot, to name only a few.

One might ask if the world needed yet another cat tarot. Given the number of tarot-reading cat-lovers, there can probably never be enough, and Cat's Eye Tarot differentiates itself from the rest of the litter quite nicely.

The cats drawn by Debra M. Givin are extremely realistic housecats. Any of them could be a patient at her felines-only veterinary hospital in Portland, Maine.

One of my favorite aspects of Cat's Eye Tarot is that these cats, unlike most tarot cats, don't wear clothes, ride horses, mix potions or brandish swords. They do cat things.

The cat things they do are enough akin to Rider Waite Smith symbolism that many of the images are immediately understandable.
Dr. Givin has taken care, in many cases, to identify the type of cat in each card within the Little White Book. Happily, the multi-talented Debra M. Givin is a decent writer, and the LWB is detailed and informative.

The deck follows RWS symbolism, structure and interpretation, so it will be easy for RWS-schooled readers to make the transition to this deck.

5.0 out of 5 stars poignant and true September 26, 2011
By Margie
Format:Cards
This is a gorgeous deck by a talented artist who truly knows and understands cats & tarot. Deb is both a cat veterinarian and cat lover. Her love and understanding show in the warmth and wistfulness with which she paints. She captures facial and postural nuances beautifully.

5.0 out of 5 stars Felines with feelings.... November 29, 2011
Format:Cards
I am an absolute animal lover and cats are my favorite species. Over the years, my feline companions have provided me with friendship, love and humor (and on occasion, worry and aggravation). I feel that cats have real "human" characteristics - which is perhaps why we relate to their expressions and actions so well.

I was intrigued when the Cats Eye Tarot (publisher: US Games, ISBN: 978-1-57281-685-5) by Debra M. Givin, DVM, landed on my desk. Would I be able to read with a deck that has no humans on it save for one or two as backdrops? Can cats convey messages that are appropriate for us?

I wasted no time digging into this deck to find out.

US Games consistently produces high quality decks. This one was no exception. The cards were standard sized (2.75" by 4.75") with a glossy, smooth finish. The card stock is also sturdy - which is very important to me because I am a high volume tarot reader - and I allow clients to handle the cards. These were a dream to shuffle! Almost silky. Nice.

It comes with a standard little white book that has interpretations for each card. Sadly, there are no reversals so you'll have to wing it if you use them. The deck is based on the Rider Waite Smith Deck and has 78 cards. The usual Majors, Minors, Suits and Court cards are represented here.

However despite the Rider Waite , this deck is strictly from a feline's point of view. The author has been a veterinarian for almost 30 years with the majority of her career exclusively in feline practice. And her knowledge of cat's moods and quirks is obvious.

The deck is lovingly and beautifully illustrated and the personalities of the cats shine through clearly.

4.0 out of 5 stars very easy deck to read with November 19, 2011
Format:Cards
This lovely deck by Debra M. Givin, DVM is published by US Games.

Oftentimes a deck reveals more of a love for the symbols or theme of the deck than for the act of communicating, but this deck does not make that mistake. In fact, I found this deck to be a pleasure to read with.

Given the title of the deck, some people may be put off if they are not a 'cat-type.' But let me add right away that you really don't need to be a cat-type to appreciate this deck. Cat's Eye Tarot has an immediacy that can appeal to anyone. The author has used her personal experience with animals to convey the meanings of the cards in a very powerful way through cats - and it is very effective.

The author writes that this tarot deck " is illustrated from a feline point of view." The cards contain "very few, if any, esoteric symbols." This makes for easy reading for anyone at any level of tarot experience.

The card backs feature the eyes and face of one cat up close and are not reversible; you will notice right away when cards are reversed. The deck shuffles nicely, as it is done with the traditional finish of US Games cards. All 78 cards have a white border and are labeled in the same cream colored box at the bottom of the face of the card. For example, 'Page of Wands," "The Hierophant" or whatever other card would be read at the bottom of the card in black text within the cream colored box.

The Major Arcana feature a purple hue in the card scene and instantly stand out among other cards in a spread. Yet the purple is gentle enough that it does not distract one from the rest of the cards in a layout. The four suits of the pips are traditional and reveal a meaningful color scheme as well.
