I am thinking of subscribing to a cat mag or two.

Was just wondering who gets what and what they think of them.

Obviously I dont want one aimed at breeders, just one with articles in that I may find informative, and that sort of thing.

(we dont have ANY local shops that sell any cat mags so I can't go out and physically look at one to see what it's like)

Appreciate any in put on this, thanks :D

CJ - if you become a member of Cats Protection (can't remember the membership fee off the top of my head), you get sent copies free through the post. Plus you get the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you're helping cats in need. :-D

you have to become a mamber of CP.
Membership used to always be £12 per year, however as this barely covered their costs of printing / postage - they have put it up quite a lot this year to £30 per year. Seems a lot, but then it's not when you divide it into months / weeks.
The mag is very good, stories of rescue cats & also some good info on health issues. :)

thats quite a big jump in price,

but as you say over a year it isnt abd, and if it can help CP a bit worth doing..

Think I may join them then.

I used to subscribe to 'Your Cat' - I don't anymore, I do like the magazine, but found it became a big 'samey'. I do buy it now and again though.

Dont suppose anyone has any old copies they wanna sell on? I'll pay postage to and maybe we can doante a percentage of the sale to a cat charity? Cheeky yeah I know, but it gives me an idea of what iw ant
