Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this advance readers copy in exchange for my honest feedback. Beautiful book and I know my even gown up daughter would love this as a true Swiftie! This book gives the backstory and facts on Taylors famous cats Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button Swift.

This book is for all the Swifties that are cat lovers and even though who aren't. I don't know anyone who wouldn't like to learn more about Taylor Swift's adorable cats. I don't own cats, but after reading this I feel like maybe I should. I knew about Taylor's cats, but not until this book did I really KNOW about them. Excellent cute short read for everyone to enjoy!

Karma is a Cat is a book all about Taylor Swift’s three cats. This book gives way more information than I had expected, making it a perfect gift for huge Swifties.

The illustrations are so well done and so much fun. It is worth reading this book for the illustrations alone!

I received a complementary ARC of this book from NetGalley on behalf of the author and the publisher. This book is adorable! A great book for Taylor Swift and or cat lovers. The stories about her three cats are precious and I love their little stat sheets. The illustrations are great and the Easter Eggs are so cool!

For those who don't know much about Taylor's famous cats (and also if you do), this book provides a fun and interesting introduction. It not only gives you a little peek into the cats their life and personalities, but also hints at the universal love for cats that Taylor and so many people worldwide have, and that is lovely. (The cat-loving energy was high!)

This book is filled with illustrations and they are all absolutely amazing! They are packed with easter eggs, just like Taylor's lyrics and music videos are always filled with hints and references. It's kind of like a treasure hunt for Swifties. Whether you are spotting references to iconic moments or just enjoying the cute artwork, there is so much to see.
Despite being full of information, the book is wonderfully light and cozy-feeling, and easy to read. It is educational yet relaxing, and informative without feeling dense. It's an enjoyable feel-good read with fluffy drawings and cute colours, and it made me really happy.

Obviously I will read any book about Taylor Swift! The book goes into detail about Taylor Swift’s 3 cats and the timeline of her adopting them! I loved reading and learning more information about this aspect of her life.

I may dislike cats a lot, but this book was adorable and educational! Add in all of the Taylor Swift tidbits and it’s a really quick read. I love how, at the end, it’s promoting the adoption of cats and giving the reader statistics about how many cats don’t have homes.

Definitely a coffee table book, but in a great way. Something any Swift fan would love. Not a literary masterpiece but fun and entertaining. My children actually loved it.

Such a short quick read yet so informational on the breed of cats, etc. super cute illustrations and so insightful. If you ever wanted to know more about Taylor swifts cats like when she got them their temperament etc this is the book for you. Highly recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I received an ARC from NetGalley for a review of the book.

I thought it was really cute! All of the pictures were well done, and tied into Taylor's "Eras." They also did a great job making the information easy to read and interpret. I enjoyed the timeline at the end, that gave you a visual representation of where the cats landed on her album journey. I could picture people I know who love Taylor and cats and would find joy in receiving/ sharing this book. I also loved how there were letters capitalized throughout the story to hide fun clues/ words like Taylor does in her album jackets. The one thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was that they did Meredith and Olivia, described what kind of cats they are, before going onto Benjamin. I would have preferred cat introductions in sequence, but that's a personal preference. Overall, a fun book I enjoyed reading through.

The art in this was phenomenal. Such a cute little giftable for anyone who loves Taylor Swift or cats (preferably both), or simply someone who enjoys kitschy pop culture, puns, and wholesome illustrations.

This is a super adorable book about Taylor Swifts cats. The illustrations are great and learning their origin story was fun! It also gave details about the cats breed which was really interesting. I had no idea all Scottish folds come from the same mother!

This is a cute, quick read and I would recommend it!

Beautiful illustrations with cute stories and interesting facts.

I wasn't really sure what this book would be like when I requested it but all my expectations were exceeded.

The book included a lot of very cute illustrations. You learn the most important things about all three cats and even get some additional information and stories. The texts themselves are not too long .

I spend most time on looking at all the details and little easter eggs.

I highly recommend this to small (and big) Swifties, especially if they're cat lovers like me and Taylor!

Thank you to NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for this EARC!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!

While this book is very short, the illustrations really make for a quick but enjoyable experience. There is not much in the way of new or detailed information, but it's a good addition to all of the information available about Taylor Swift that's out there.

Any Taylor Swift fan will enjoy this read and it will take you less than an hour!

In this adorable picture book, we learn all about how Taylor Swift's kitties came into her life. Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button had lovely backstories and I loved the details about they've been included in her music videos and lyrics. I loved all the cat art and I loved this book's message about adopting cats from a shelter. I wish more people would do it and I'm glad there were resources included at the end. I wish there had been even more details about these beautiful kitties.

Fun book great for any Swiftie ! Good gift idea for the holidays coming up - I knew the names of Taylor's cats from passing but was fun to read about - not gonna lie I'm more a dog person but this was definitely cute!

Thank you to NetGalley and Ten Speed publishing for this ARC Karma Is A Cat. Typically, I don’t read these “cash grab” books that use Taylor and her successful career to make a quick buck. This one was completely different than all the others because it was about Taylor’s cats. Finally a book that doesn’t talk about all of the same facts Swifties know and have known for over a decade in some cases.

The story goes into fun depth of how the cats came to be beloved family members to one of the worlds biggest icons as well as gives great facts on what breeds they are and facts about the breeds.

It even tells you great information on how you can adopt a sweet cat of your own.

The illustration was impeccable and made my heart smile.

I keep saying I'm not a Swiftie, but I'm fascinated with how much she pervades current culture. I've seen pictures of her cats before, and this book uses gorgeous artwork instead of photos. As a huge rescue fan, I'm delighted that she supports saving pets too.
This book obviously isn't deep, but it's sweet and compassionate. It's a fun look into how Taylor Swift's pets play a part in her life and make it better.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
