This is a cute, informative book about Taylor Swift's cats. I think it would appeal to young fans of Swift - and, as an older fan of Swift, I found a lot to like.

This was a cute book for younger readers and also fans of Taylor Swift, especially if those fans love cats and want to know more about Taylor’s. The art in the book was really lovely. Overall, this was a fun read but I think I knew most of this already. I think this would be perfect in an elementary school library.

This is so cute! I've already put a copy in my classroom library and it is highly fought over! Such a neat idea for Swifties!

A fun read for young Swifties! As a long haul Swiftie there wasn't any new information here, but the illustrations were adorable and I this was well-done. Mysecond grade daughter is a young Swiftie, and enjoyed reading this, and there was lots of fun new information for the younger Swifties who weren't around on the internet in the 2010s!

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

Karma is a cat is a book about Taylor Swift's cats and it is funny and heartwarming. It gives details of each of the cats and fun facts about the breeds. An interesting read for any cat lover or Swift fan.

I love both Taylor Swift and cats, so this was just the perfect book! I thought this was a fun, lighthearted read that left me smiling! This would be a great gift for any Swiftie or cat lover! But pair the two together and you have the purr-fect gift! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance reader copy of this title in exchange for my honest review.

This book is sweet, silly and kind. Like the other Taylor Swift books I've reviewed there is no special access or inside information - it's basically all taken from Instagram or public interviews. Still, the perspective from the cats is adorable, the illustrations are very nice and the whole book has a cheerful wholesome feel. As a bonus, there is encouragement to adopt cats from shelters, and just a lot of positivity about cats. this would be a sweet gift for a Taylor obsessed teen, or a cute gift for an adult, if done ironically.

I was given an e-Arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was so cute. The illustrations of the cats were the best. I loved learning more about Meredith, Olivia and Benjamin Button. I don’t own a cat but with how cute this book made Taylor’s makes me went a rag doll cat.
The best part for me was the cat albums.

This is a really cute, fun, quick read about the lives of Taylor Swift’s cats, Meredith, Olivia, and Benjamin. None of the information is going to be new to Swifties, but it’s still fun to look back at how Taylor’s cats have been referenced in her work, and her history of being a cat lady.

My favorite part was the spread of all the cat breeds Taylor named when she was challenged by Jimmy Fallon to name as many as she could in 30 seconds. I’m not saying she’s neurodivergent, but I also spent my childhood memorizing cat breeds, I’m just saying.

I would certainly recommend this as a fun little gift for any cat loving Swifties in your life.

I loved this so much. I really appreciated how each page and story seemed to be carefully selected and curated to drive home just how much Taylor Swift loves her cats and is the best cat mother. I do wish they had maybe included more about how Taylor got her cats, beyond Benjamin's adoption story. At one point, Taylor in an interview discussed that not every cat is appropriate for everyone (like her childhood Bengal cat).

That being said, Karma Is A Cat did touch on the Scottish Fold controversy that's come from her owning two, and I appreciate they did that from a place of knowledge. I just would have liked to have seen this expanded on, especially as Taylor has been candid before in interviews that some types of cats are not for some types of people.

Thank you again for the ARC. The above is my honest opinion on this wonderful addition to an Swifty's library.

The graphics in the book are absolutely stunning! I appreciated seeing different easter eggs and mentioning less-known facts. I guess it's a fun short book, that'll be great for TS fans

The illustrations in this book are gorgeous and adorable. This book is for Taylor Swift fans of all ages but so easily digestible for the little “Taylor tots.” This is packed with information about the famous cats in the world and fun facts about them and Taylor.

This was a fun book to read, telling the adoption stories of Taylor Swift's cats - Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button Swift. I am a cat mom and it wasn't a question why I opted to read this one. I love Taylor's songs and I love her being a cat mom, too. The illustrations and funny tales of her cat really bring out the humor only cat parents understand.

I absolutely loved Karma is a Cat!

It tells us the story of three adorable felines, Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button Swift, who are famous for being Taylor Swift cats. All of them have different adoption stories and share some fun facts about their owner. I really like Taylor Swift but I just recently started to follow her more so there where lots of facts that I didn't know.

It's such a cute book; the illustrations by Katty Huertas are beautiful, giving it a fun and cute feeling. I even looked her up on Instagram @kattyhuertas to see what other books she may have illustrated. It was a great surprise to find out she is Colombian.

If you love cats and are a fan of Taylor Swift, this one is a must-read!

I loved this, the layout and pictures were so cute. Honestly one of the cutest books I have read in a long time. The facts were great too, it included quite a few facts that I hadn't heard of before.

This was so cute! My Swiftie students would love this! As a Swiftie myself, I enjoyed getting to know the TS cats a little better and hear about Taylor’s life through the eyes of her fur children.

Short, cute picture book about Taylor Swift’s cats. The illustrations were beautiful and the story was cute.

I’m personally not a huge cat person, but I’m a swiftie and enjoy reading books about Taylor Swift, her life, lyrics, etc.

What an enchanting tale that captures the hearts of young readers and Taylor fans! From the moment you open the book, you’re transported into a world. The illustrations are absolutely stunning, bursting with color and detail that complement the story beautifully. The storytelling is engaging and age-appropriate, with just the right balance of excitement and heart. Young readers will love following along.

Very cute! I like that it talked about why we don't see Meredith very often. And the illustrations were adorable; I especially loved the ones of the cats as album covers. ♥️

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC eGalley
