Mystical Cats Tarot

5 tabby kittens seem to be fighting in a playful manner. 3 are orange and 2 are grey. We can guess they are located outdoors from the presence of tall grass surrounding them. A lotus-shaped fire torch with flames at each of its 5 points can be seen in the back. It seems to be attached to a wall which appears to be brown in this lighting. Colors : Very warm but dark ; a lot of brown. At first glance, this card seems to have aggressive connotations and could be interpreted fairly negatively. But upon closer examination, one might realize a few things. First of all, these are kittens and kittens rarely fight about matters of life and death. They do it for fun, t…

Hello my fellow Mystical Cats lovers! Truthfully, this card ain't the most easy one to decipher! I might need some help on the symbolism of this one, if anybody is somewhat knowledgeable about Egyptian symbology? So indeed the Priest is clearly a bronze-colored Egyptian Mau, wearing a multicolored Egyptian necklace. He's sitting on the ground, his left paw placed on a golden sphere covered with Egyptian symbols. He's facing us, but he's not looking in our eyes. We're not sure if he's gazing at something in particular or if he might be having a vision perhaps? Behind him, on his left, we can see a round golden tray containing embers and ashes. Pale smoke is coming o…

The Ace of Sea shows a wire-wrapped piece of sea glass sitting on the seashore. The sea glass is aqua in color and has a squarish shape with eroded edges. There is a paw print covering most of its surface. Colorful beads of different shapes and small seashells ornate the wire. A few other seashells lie on the shore close to the sea glass piece. The shore is covered with pale yellow sand and several small stones. The tide comes close enough to barely touch the seaglass piece. The water is bright blue and some bubbly foam is visible at the end of the wave. Color : Pastel feel The author describes the cats of the Sea Clan as ''emotional, moody, deep and wise.''…

I'm pretty sure the Priestess depicted on this card is a Russian Blue cat. (See the silky bluish silver coat, bright green eyes, dark nose and large ears.) She is sitting in an amethyst cave and is looking directly at the reader. She's wearing a silver necklace with 3 amethyst crystal points. Through 2 openings at the back, we can see it's night time outside. Many stars and a moon crescent (wet/horned moon) can be seen. There is also a mountain and some foliage. Interestingly, the amethyst crystals are not covering all sides of the card. In the lower left corner, there is an opening, meaning there is a part of the cave we can't see from our viewpoint. Colors : Purpl…

We can see 4 cats, all positioned differently, who seem to be interested in a spherical glass prism floating above their heads. One cat is lying on the ground on their side, another one is in a loaf position and is looking away from the prism, one is sitting and looking intently at the prism and the last one is sitting with one paw up and their head raised towards the prism. There is a ray of light directly hitting the prism from above, causing spots of mini-rainbows to reflect everywhere in the room, including on the cats. The background of the card seems to show some part of a beige wall and the ground looks like marble. Colors : Very neutral colors. According…

3 cats are standing on top of a wall while they are dropping various fragile objects on the ground. A fair amount of debris is already scattered around on both sides of the wall. They are mostly pushing colorful vases, but one of the cats is in the process of making a large clear quartz point crystal fall, while staring at us with a content look on their face. There is an arched opening in the wall, with a wind chime hanging inside. Thick foliage makes up for the lower half of the background, while a blue sky with scattered white clouds covers the upper half of the background. Colors : Very varied. In the cool/neutral range. From what we can see and feel by l…

A tortoiseshell cat with yellow eyes is lying on the ground with 2 apples resting on her head, one on top of the other. The biggest apple is red and the smallest is yellow. Behind her we can see part of an apple tree covered in yellow and orange leaves and full of deep red apples which are mostly growing in pairs. Also behind the cat, on the horizon line, we can see 2 other trees with a yellow and orange foliage. On the beige ground, all around the cat, we can see many orange dead leaves. In the background, the sky appears to be pale blue. Colors : Orange In tarot numerology, 2s are about balance, duality and change. This cat perfectly demonstrates the 'bala…

The Ace of Sky shows a yellow swallowtail gonfalon (suspended heraldic banner of medieval origin) showing a clawed cat paw print, dark blue in color. It's suspended in the air by 2 pink ropes, but we can't see what it's attached to. A bright blue sky is visible all around the flag, along with many floating white clouds. It gives the impression that the flag is situated very high, above the clouds level. A few birds silhouettes are discernable in the distance. It appears to be somewhat windy, since the flag, especially its lower ends, is waving. Color : The blue and yellow equally stand out to me. According to the author, ''[t]he Sky Clan was formed from ex…

In the Mystical Cats Tarot, The Cat is the equivalent of The Fool. He leads us on the Way of the Cat, reminder of the usual Fool's Journey. You can see a cat standing in the middle of a cat-size paved way, smelling flowers and appearing quite relaxed and non-threatened. He's a typical mackerel grey tabby cat (striped), which is not a breed but a common pattern seen in cats. His underside from chin to abdomen and his paws are white. We can assume he's not in a rush, as his whole body is turned sideways (not facing towards the road) while he's smelling some flowers. We can see a lot of plants and flowers in the front of the image, but they become more sparse along the wa…

What looks like a Chartreux is lying on a tufted round patchwork cushion, their head turned upwards. Right above them we can see the ghostly silhouette of a cat, golden yellow in color and outlined by white 'sparkles'. We only see its face and both front paws. Their eyes are green and they seem to be wearing a head crown. A bright spot of light marks the place where a pendant would lie. The floor is made of white marble. Colors : The golden yellow catches the attention a lot. Without the help of the book, I would have been at a loss here. I learned there that the golden cat represents the Cat Goddess, who ''has blessed us and told us we are worthy of praise [……

A white cat with green eyes is standing with her hindlegs flexed, as if she was about to jump. She's looking up towards a very bright source of light which we can't see from our point of view. The background of the card appears as varied shades of dark grey, as the light doesn't reach further than a delimitated spot, in the middle of which the cat is standing. A tomoe symbol, seemingly engraved in the ground, can be seen right under the cat. Each part includes flame patterns. Colors : Very neutral tones (Grey, white, beige) As much as the 2s were about passiveness and waiting, the 3s are about movement and action. Sometimes, when the unknown lies ahead, it's …

What looks like a flame point Siamese cat (also known as red point Siamese or flame/red point Colorpoint Shorthair) is sitting on a wooden surface, his left paw keeping a book open while his other paw is in the air. The right paw is surrounded by floating objects arranged in a circle and the resulting ball is full of some blue matter (electricity? energy?). The objects each represent one of the 4 elements : a fireball to represent Fire, a fish for Water, a catnip flower for Earth and a feather for Air. The cat looks quite concentrated on his task. The other objects on the surface are : a lit candle, a goblet, a pentacle disk, a crystal ball and a magic wand. Also in the…

A black cat is lying down in a bun/loaf position, a somewhat disturbed face on (eyes quite wide open at least). There are 2 small birds resting on him and 1 cuddled against his side. They appear friendly and relaxed. I'm taking a wild guess (after some non-conclusive research) and would say they might be young blue jays. If anybody is able to make a more educated guess please do! The scene takes place outdoors and the cat is lying on a flagstone ground. Behind him, on the left of the card, there is a bush with a branch making a loop in the shape of the infinity symbol. The symbol lies directly above the head of the cat, like in the original depiction of the Strength ca…

A Chocolate Point Siamese cat (or maybe is it a Tonkinese?) is walking on top of a stone wall situated in the sea. They don't look bothered by the strong waves hitting the wall from both sides and the water level reaching quite high. In fact, the water doesn't seem to touch the cat at all! In the foam coming from the right side, part of a rainbow is clearly visible. In the stones ahead of the cat, faint markings of fossils are visible on the surface. A bit further behind the cat, the wall seems to stop abruptly. In the top left corner of the card, we can see part of the shore, with some foliage and the lower part of an abrupt cliff. There seems to be an entrance to a…

The Ace of Fire is a close up of a wrought iron gate with a large fire burning behind it. The gate is made of symmetrical patterns and has a heater shield emblem in the center with a cat paw print in it. The fire is a bright orange color, with some yellow and brown. There is a little bit of green at the bottom. Color : Orange Many qualifiers can be used to describe the kind of cats the Fire Clan is composed of. As the author put is, for them, the fire is ''a symbol of the light that blazes within, the courageous and noble cat spirit that strives for excellence.'' Here are some examples of cats you might encounter while visiting this Clan : skilled warriors (wh…

What we can probably assume is the dead body of an orange tabby cat is lying on a bed of catnip branches. The sky is not visible due to the presence of tall trees, but there are 4 rays of light falling on the cat from above. A transparent cat, quite likely representing this cat's soul, seems to be rising from the body. Behind, we can see a line of 8 other transparent cats coming out of the forest. At the bottom of the card, we can see some tall grass and behind the cat 3 trees are visible before it becomes too dark to distinguish anything. Colors : Mostly tones of green. The book is very straightforward in its main advice for this card. "If it's time to let …

This card is the equivalent of the traditional Hanged Man card. We can see a calico cat literally floating in the air. Her body is a bit twisted, a bit like when a cat is stretching languidly on the ground. When looking at the card reversed, I found that the way her front paws are placed looks like the traditional Hanged Man legs placement. She has one eye closed, as if she was winking at us. There are white sparkles all around her to show that magic is at work in this unusual situation. 3 long and thin pieces of wood are attached together, creating a kind of square arch around the cat. All around the arch, there are several flowering morning glories. I…

A yellow-eyed cat with a black and silky short-haired coat is sitting on the ground with their mouth wide open, as if they were hissing or screaming. We should note that except for the 'hissing' mouth and the dilated pupils, this cat doesn't show any of the typical signs an angry or scared cat would display. They're sitting in a straight manner, the tail wrapped around the body, hair is not ruffled at all and their ears are not flattened. They have the characteristics of the Bombay cat, a breed always displaying a silky black shorthair coat with yellow/golden eyes, but it might have been fortuitous. They're sitting on a dead bird, one of their paws laying on it with th…

A grey and white cat with blue eyes is standing on a gingko tree branch, looking at the sky. The cat is surrounded by a whitish halo that reminds me of the outer part of a galaxy, especially in the tail area. The night time sky takes up a good half of the card. Many stars are visible and among them, the Leo constellation is present, with a lion drawn over its emplacement. Colors : Dark blue According to the book, this card is about cosmic consciousness. It means that we must become aware of the ''[…] meaning and intention in the pattern of our lives.'' The biggest advice this card has for us is to ''have faith that everything in your life is unfolding exactly…

A bronze-colored Egyptian Mau is lying on its back as he playfully makes a huge mandala wheel spin round and round with his paws. His eyes are closed in pure bliss. He seems to be located in an enclosed space, not very large in length, but with an unknown depth and height. The 3 walls we can see are made of some brownish material and the floor is made of brownish square tiles. The wheel takes about half the space of the card and contains many details. It's made of 4 concentric circles. The most internal one contains the Aum (Om) symbol. The next circle is separated into 4 equal parts by diagonal axes. Each part contains a differently colored drawing/symbol. Red flam…

What looks like a silver Ocicat or Bengal cat is facing us, their left paw stepping forward, all claws visible. They seem to be in hunting mode. The large white glow and aqua coloring of their eyes is due to the tapetum lucidum, an eye component allowing to see better in the dark. It is night time, the sky is a very dark grey color and the full moon is clearly visible among several stars. The Moon is surrounded by a white halo. The cat seems to be in an open area with no tree close to them, only sparse grass and bioluminescent (glow in the dark) mushrooms. In front of the cat, the ground seems to be made of plain soil and rocks. A few insects are present. Some are ar…

On this card, we can see a cat riding a chariot led by 2 dogs. The cat is mainly black (or dark grey?) with part of his chest and face being white. He also has a small patch of black above his mouth, making it look like a man's mustache. I couldn't help but think it resembles Hitler's mustache (sorry kitty). He's looking straight ahead and has his paws set on the chariot's edge in a very straight way too. There is a large yellow halo (like bursting rays) around him. The chariot, which looks like it's made of bronze or brass, has a roaring lion face on the front of its roof. On each side of the cat, there are 2 pillar-like structures with 'foliage' (made of the same …

We can see a black and white cat straddling the trunk of a dead tree, a seemingly sad look displayed on their face and their tail hanging low on their side. They don't seem to notice the unusual spectacle going on behind them. 4 blue lobsters are standing upright, with their claws outstretched in the air. The scene is taking place on a beach at sunrise or sunset and the lobsters are by the seaside and are facing towards the Sun. The sand is of a pale beige color, the sea is calm and dark blue, the horizon line is pink with some orange and yellow and the sky color ranges from pale to dark blue. A few clouds are visible, along with some bright stars. Colors : Lower ha…

Please bear with me on this one, I have a LOT to say and even though I tried to connect my thoughts in a logical way and make my explanations as flowing as possible...well in any case, if something is not clear please let me know! :) A very big grey and white tabby cat is lying in a pomegranate tree. He is in a loaf/bun position, his eyes are semi-closed and to me it looks like he's smiling...a bit like Mona Lisa, I'd even venture to say. The tree is bearing ripe fruits and 12 pomegranates are depicted on the card. One of them is split open, which means it's very ripe. On the lower part of the card, we can see the trunk going further down, small branches and dense …

We can see 3 cats falling from a very high and fancy cat tree. The 3 are falling from different heights and have their bodies in different positions. The highest one, a white and orange tabby cat, is on their back with a look of uncertainty on their face. The one in the middle, an orange spotted tabby cat with dark points, is on their side with their back facing us. The lowest one, a grey classic (blotched) tabby cat, has their paws facing down and is looking towards the ground, seemingly ready to land. When looking at them one after the other, you can see the progression in their body positions. The cat tree is made of a yellow marble pillar-like structure that …
