Occasionally, some of us get to do work that is totally fun and such is the case with my assignment to review Cat Fancy Magazine. My own two Bengal cats volunteered to assist with my research but in the end both of them were found sleeping on the job. A recent issue of Cat Fancy Magazine estimated that, based on the latest surveys, there are approximately 90 million cats in the United States. Thus, it is indeed fortunate for those of us who own these 'purrfect' animals to have Cat Fancy Magazine available as our own resource. Every issue of this magazine contains delightful sections such as: Purrs and Hisses (letters from readers), the Cat Calendar (who, what, when, where), In the Mews, What's New Pussycat, and other zany sections that make reading each issue a pure pleasure. One of my favorite browse sections of the magazine is the Breeder Directory. It contains about twenty pages of information organized by breed to help anyone quickly find additional resources of interest. The Cat Clinic - Ask the Vet section of Cat Fancy Magazine contains very important and helpful tips regarding the health of your pet. Of course the absolute best part of each magazine issue is the surprise that comes from their monthly feature stories. Everything about cats from their ancient Egyptian history to their downtown New York penthouse dwellings is covered. Naturally, Cat Fancy Magazine features photographs of the most stunning cats in the world but it also includes the everyday house cat on an equal pawing. Practical stories such as how to save on veterinary bills and an enjoyable monthly editor's note from Susan Logan help round out the value of the magazine.

Article Source:http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Jason_CanonCat - Your Cat and Wild Birds There are a lot of good reasons for *not* letting your new cat become an outside cat and I mention most of them in my new ebook "Your New Cat's First 24 Hours". But one very important reason that I left out was the fact that cats are death on birds. Yes, this is a fact that cat owners don't like to face, but a cat is a predator that doesn't distinguish between mice and birds when it comes to her prey. It's estimated that there are about 40 million cats in the United States free to roam outside, and 20 to 30 percent of the kills they make are birds. When you figure that a single outdoor cat will kill up to 200 birds and mammals every year, this can add up to over a billion birds killed by outdoor cats! Many cat owners think that if they keep their cat well fed she won't feel the need to kill, but they are not taking into account that a cat does not kill out of hunger, but because she is an instinctual predator. A well fed cat *will* kill birds. So, do Mother Nature and her wonderful birds a favor. Keep your cat indoors! ? John Young, www.yourcatsecrets.com, All Rights Reserved |
