Last weekend, I purchased a novelty tarot deck - "Cat Tarot" written by Julia Smillle and illustrated by Megan Lynn Kott. The illustrations are amazing; however, the written meanings on the minor tarot cards between two and ten of each suite are NOT marked on the cards (as they should be) and therefore you must look up the IMAGE of each and every card in the manual to find out the exact meaning of each card. Quite annoying actually for beginners. I do not use this deck to do readings and I have learned the general meanings of each card through experience. But, it is very helpful for anyone new to the craft to be able to reference these minor arcana cards in the deck if they were marked as other decks are.
Example: These minor arcana cards which are not marked are: (L-R) the Five of Wands, Three of Swords, and the Six of Wands.
Not exactly obvious to most practitioners.
As a novelty deck, it is cute, but as a go-to deck, not so much.
Cute illustrations. I wouldn't have figured out the numbers of those minor arcana cards
