Karen is known by many as the "Cat Lady." The art she has created in the cards were inspired, in part, by her ten feline friends who keep her company while she works. Her creation was also influenced by her travels abroad, architecture, art history, anthropology, and her home location -- the Arizona desert.
You may get the impression from the dark backgrounds of the cards that the scenery depicts night scenes, but you will also see a lot of gold-toned backgrounds and even some greenish-hued ones as well. When looking at these cards, it seems that some of the images portray settings in caves or cave-like structures. At least, that's what I think of when looking at some of these interesting cards. It's quite a visually appealing deck, and something different for those who like this style.
This is a fun and entertaining deck. The meanings are fairly traditional, and the cards are playful, yet still enlightening which allows for your questions addressed to the Tarot to still be serious when you need some insight.
Although not a deck especially recommended for beginning Tarot readers, those with some experience in reading the cards can have fun with this deck . . . as the saying goes, sometimes we just need to "lighten up" a little :-) This deck can help do just that, whether you are seeking a Tarot reading for yourself . . . or whether you are reading the cards for others.

The cougar image above is not associated with the Tarot of the Cat People . . . but it's such a pretty image, I couldn't resist including it in this "cat" theme page :-) As I do not know the artist of this lovely picture, if it is yours or you know who created it, please let me know. If it belongs to you, I will promptly remove it at your request, or provide a link to you, as per your wishes.
