How are they going to come up with 52 cat puns? I mean, there's a limit to everything.

I like the concept. 52 cat puns might be hard but maybe they can do it. I don't think they all need to be puns maybe just a reflection of the personality type of the cat they're aiming to illustrate.
I'm suprised it's not getting more backers.

This could be a cataclysmic catastrophe  ;)
I wonder if they are using catimundie for the printing?

Not to cats, there isn't!

Seriously, it's a rocking idea for getting cat lovers as well as young girls into the deck.  Collectors might get a little fussy about that, but for a magician who works kids' shows, these would make an awesome gift for the attendees.

Anyone know what the backs look like?

I actually quite like this...its a cute deck. I pledge for it but i doubt it will get funded at the rate it is going. The funding period seems a little shorter than most other projects.

This deck has a lot of potential from a business prospective.  Cat fanatics you know crazy cat ladies that sit home and shop on QVC buy lots of random shit.  They are commonly hoarders also.  Id say an aggressive campaign with a youtube video of some wacked out cat stuff and you will up your numbers a bunch.

So let me get this straight -you want to enable hoarders?  :))

I hope the creator's pushing this deck on cat-friendly and kid-friendly websites.

Yeah because it wasn't going to get funded, who does a 15 day card project anyway. Btw it should be noted the project creator is the wife of the Civil Unrest creator RJ. Seems neither one is too successful at first time projects.

I plead the 5th! Civil Unrest is my first project and is shipping out now. Yes, it failed the first launch but failure is when you don't try again. I re-tooled and re-launched within two days of the first attempt and only launched it for two weeks. Not only did it hit the goal but it exceded the goal. You can tell within the first 48 hours if it's going to hit the goal or not.

Only if the project happens to be a blowout in the first 48 hours!  Many, many projects had slow starts, weak midgames and managed to just pull themselves over the finish line in time.  You can't predict much of anything in the first 48 hours.

Just say it - you're proud of your cats!  :))
