Cats, Friendship, and Community

The Cat’s Eye Tarot created by Debra M. Givin, DVM  (U.S. Games Systems, Inc. http://www.usgamesinc.com).

The suit of Cups is represented in this deck by the sweet black and whites and the color in the card is red for emotion.  Cats can teach us many things in life, curiosity, cleverness, patience, love, and how to adapt in difficult situations.   Cats have excellent observations skills and can read our body language.  They are mysterious, psychic, enchanting creatures.  Cats are a good judge of character and can make a quick evaluation which can give us clues when making new friends. “Watch a cat when it enters a room for the first time.  It searches and smells about…it trusts nothing until it has examined and made acquaintance with everything.”  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

The Three of Cups above is about friendship, community, and play.  Ms. Givin’s thoughts on this card when it comes up in a reading:  “Know that you are not alone.  Remember those with whom you share this life.  They will see you through the worst of times and they will make the best of times that much sweeter.”    Beautiful thoughts for a weekend reflection.

Blessings,

Maggie

“I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed.  These things, to me, are expression of love.”  James Herriot
