Cats are symbolic for mysteries, instinctual knowledge and the shadow aspects of self and situations - this comes through in the cards leading to profound clarity in readings.

The Tarot Of The Cat People is easy to read as it is very expressive. Beginner and advanced readers alike would appreciate this deck.
