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!

Super cute book cat lovers, Taylor swift lovers and cat AND Taylor swift lovers will enjoy. There are lots of fun details and pictures throughout.

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

As a devoted cat lover and a fan of Taylor Swift, I was thrilled to dive into "Karma Is a Cat," the first book dedicated to the true stories of Swift's beloved feline companions. With its charming narrative and vibrant illustrations, Farrin Jacobs has crafted a delightful homage to these three furry muses: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button Swift. This enchanting book is sure to charm not only Swifties but any animal lover with a soft spot for incredible stories of love and companionship.

From the outset, Jacobs captures the whimsical connection between Taylor and her three cats, presenting them as integral parts of her life rather than mere pets. The narrative gracefully intertwines their backstories—from their heartwarming adoptions to their unique personalities—allowing readers to appreciate how each cat enriches Taylor's existence. Jacobs shines when detailing how these cats have influenced Taylor's music and public persona, making it clear that they are not just side characters but key players in her journey.

One of the most delightful aspects of this book is the adorable illustrations that accompany the text. Each page bursts with vibrancy, bringing to life the antics and adventures of Meredith, Olivia, and Benjamin. The illustrations serve as a beautiful visual storytelling tool, enhancing the connection readers feel with the cats. Jacobs expertly balances humor, fun facts, and information about cat breeds, making it informative and engaging for all ages. This cocktail of entertainment and education ensures that readers come away with a deeper appreciation for these charming felines.

Moreover, Jacobs's knack for storytelling shines through as she includes various anecdotes that highlight the cats' personalities, often punctuated with puns and playful language. The book is filled with heartwarming tidbits about how Taylor's life intertwines with her furry friends, offering fans an insider glimpse into the superstar's world. It's a celebration of creativity, love, and the bond between humans and animals that is sure to tug at your heartstrings.

"Karma Is a Cat" is not merely a book about pets; it's a captivating exploration of the joy and companionship that animals bring into our lives. Perfect as a gift for any Swiftie, it's a thoughtful present that is both endearing and meaningful. So whether you’re a die-hard Taylor Swift enthusiast or a passionate cat lover, this book promises an enchanting experience that resonates on every page. In a world where kindness and love matter, Jacobs reminds us through these furry tales that sometimes, the most extraordinary stories come with four paws and a purr.

This was cute! The kind of thing I'd flip through at a bookstore but don't see myself buying. Ultimately a book I see a lot of people getting as a Christmas present but doesn't really provide any information. A cute idea!

Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of Karma Is a Cat: The True Stories of Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button Swift by Farrin Jacobs from Ten Speed Press via NetGalley. It should be published on January 7, 2025.

Karma Is a Cat: The True Stories of Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button Swift by Farrin Jacobs is the PURRfect book for the Taylor Swift fan and/or the cat lover. Some might think this is a children's book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I am 50 years old. Now, some might say I am a bit biased as I am a Swiftie and a bit of a cat lady myself. However, I think I looked at this book through an impartial and critical lens. It was so fun! The illustrations by Katty Huertas are fantastic and really capture the spirit of this precious trio and their mother. Yes, I read it in one sitting. Yes, I did go back to look at parts of it again and to enjoy the illustrations. Yes, you should buy a copy for the Swiftie(s) in your life. They will thank you.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own. This review is also written by a non Swifty level listner

I don't know what is cuter, the the story or the the illustrations. I cannot get over how fun this book is, recommend for any fan of cats or Taylor

A Taylor Swift fan must! This book is perfect! I never need an excuse to learn more about Taylor and loved learning about her fur babies. Beautiful artwork as well. Thanks NetGalley!

I’ll consume any Taylor Swift media, and this book was actually better than I thought it would be. The illustrations were the best part—smart and clever. Like her three cats illustrated as Haim’s album cover? Love that. I enjoyed the facts about the cats’ breeds as well as information about the benefits of adopting and owning cats. There was information about adoption organizations as well.

Thank you to #NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for an advanced reader copy of #KarmaIsACat.

Did I wake up this morning thinking I'd read about Taylor Swift's cats? Nope, but it happened. I am now well versed on her kitty children and her love of cats, in general. The artwork is honestly amazing. They are all super cute and entertaining. This a perfect gift for the Swifties in your life!

Thanks to Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
