Chet Phillips (previously at Neatorama) has created a plastic-coated poker-size deck of cards that features 58 different illustrations of cats. The cats include stereotypical themes like "crazy cat lady" and "scaredy cat," but others are puns like "cat call" and "catalyst." There are pop culture cats, too, like "Dracatula" and "Clockwork tabby." The royal cards are illustrated as cats see themselves -as regal. Wait, 58 cards? That's a standard deck plus two jokers and four extra wild cards, because Phillips apparently had that much inspiration. I can see these being repurposed as a tarot deck for some people. Let's see a few closeups.
Caution: when playing a game with this deck, keep your eye on the values in the corner. Laughing at the illustrations can distract you into losing the game, and prolong play to a ridiculous degree. That goes double when you are playing a card game with children. The Cat's Meow deck can be ordered at Phillips' website for $15. -via Laughing Squid
