Notes: 

The TaRat was created in a limited edition "extra mini" uncut 1" deck with black background and a 2" uncut version with white background. I have the 2" edition. Only 100 each of these uncut decks were printed.

Notes:
The cards were created  in ink and watercolor on 2.5" x 3.5" sized paper. It was in 2010 originally designed to be a mini novelty deck, but due to demand, is now available in various sizes. This is the largest edition, which is still smaller than average, measuring 8.9 cm tall x 6.4 cm wide.

The TaRat is a 78 card deck, each card with a different image of white rats. There are Swords, Cups, Pentacles and Clubs in this deck, as well as underlying themes of stars, moons and planets and some birds.

The majors are un-numbered. The minors are scenic and are sometimes, but not always, similar to the RWS. The backs are reversible. It came with a one-page sheet of card meanings and an envelope of inclusions from the artist. No title card, no bag, no box.

Notes:

The suits are cats (swords), dogs (clubs), birds (cups) and rodents (pentacles). The Major arcana also has goldfish, guinea pigs and rabbits.

Instead of "The Hanged Man" there is a "Chained Dog" Card.
