From the Tarot of the Cats, the Three of Pentacles; from the Insectorum Divnorum, Sphingidae:
Anyone able to train a cat to do a trick has some serious talent. We all have a natural aptitude for something (which we generally enjoy), but rarely are we encouraged to develop it if parents and teachers don't think we can make a living from it. It generally sits in the closet gathering dust until we're much older and have more free time. Since money rarely purchases joy, perhaps we should give more consideration to our gifts, even if they aren't flashy. The Sphingidae are a family of moths commonly called sphinx moths or hawk moths. Because of their agile and sustained flying ability, they are often mistaken for hummingbirds, thus they represent deceptive appearances. As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover - there might be something amazing inside.
