The record
Tarot Du Chat or Tarot of Cats is a French deck based around the mysteries of Cats entwined with Tarot. The cards are 5 tall by 2 ½ wide. The cards are mostly matte with a slight sheen and are small enough that they should be easy to shuffle for nearly everyone. The backs are solid purple. The deck comes with a LWB that is written in French, the Major Arcana are the only cards with labels besides the court cards, both in French. (Thank goodness I took 3 years of it!). The Major Arcana and Court Cards have cats that are anthromorphised while the Pips are regular cats. The deck according to the creators was based off the Marseilles decks. Pips are not highly illustrated but show cats in a variety of poses and actions with the suitable numbers of the suit symbol in an illustrated background. Each pip is usually a series of the same cat, background but advancing forward. Not sure what the artwork is but colors are used nicely. Backgrounds and setting are European. In the Major Arcana 8 is Justice and 11 is Strength. They are all marked with Roman Numerals. Court Cards are in French but mean the following: Valet Page Cavalier Knight Reine Queen Roi King Suits are as follows: B
