I hope readers do take their health-related articles with a grain of salt because I agree they are often rife with mistakes, but I suspect many cat owners don't know about the veterinary school newsletters. It's curious to me that the Fancy Publications do manage to survive when their competitors have failed. All the Fancy Publication magazines seem to be at least partially devoted to purebred animals--is popular interest that strong? Is TV Guide the best-selling periodical in the United States, with the National Enquirer a close second? |

So are any of these newsletters available on line? Do you have links? |

"Sherry " wrote in message ... article about trimming down your fat cat. Within the article, they have a contest for the "fattest cat." The three fattest cats will win cash prizes. Brilliant. Now, some morons will deliberately try to fatten up their cats to compete in an utterly stupid contest, for which the grand prize will be predisposition to diabetes and hepatic lipidosis. Exactly my thoughts. And don't think there's not some moron out there who will try to fatten their cat up even more to win the stupid contest. It's one of the most irresponsible things I've ever heard of any animal magazine printing. Mind boggling isn't it? Where did Cat Fancy find their editor, Zap comics? If I were a subscriber, I'd cancel and tell them why. Since I'm not, I'm telling them anyway. Good idea. I think I'll follow your lead. Phil |

"Rene" wrote in message m... Hello, I just read the January 2005 issue of Cat Fancy magazine. They have an article about trimming down your fat cat. Within the article, they have a contest for the "fattest cat." The three fattest cats will win cash prizes. This burns my bisquits--instead of helping cat owners maintain (or lose) their pet's weight, they are encouraging it! A better contest would have been to *help* the three biggest cats lose weight. If you want to write magazine and let them know how you feel, the email is: Rene That's an abomination! It's sort of like posting high-calorie menus on a weight-loss newsgroup. Thanks for including their e-mail addy. I will write to them tomorrow (too tired tonight).
