Cat Fancy Magazine
March 9th 2008 21:00
One of my cat-hating friend’s dream is to become a CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst). The same initials also stand for the Cat Fanciers’ Association so I like to rile him up by telling him cat jokes.
Now onwards. I wish, I wish Cat Fancy magazine was widely available where I live (Sydney, Australia). I can only find it at one place which is Borders bookstore and it is air freight only, meaning it ends up costing me double the price I would pay if it came via sea. It’s such an interesting magazine and has beautiful photos of my four-legged whiskered friends. In the March 2008 issue is a story on cat cruelty and cat consumption in Korea.
Today I checked out their web site and found out I can get hold of past issues via PDF. What a great idea. Firstly, the PDFs cost the same as I would pay if the magazine was shipped via sea mail. Secondly, PDFs take up less room than hardcopy. Thirdly, unlike a hardcopy, PDFs don’t fade or go mouldy. Nor do you have to worry about accidentally spilling coffee on them (only the computer).
At the moment, I think I am too selfish to devote my life to a cat (plus I need my landlord’s permission) so at least reading cat magazines let me indulge in my fantasy of having two loving companions without worrying about the responsibility. Plus I believe pets are like children; once you get one you have it for life. That seems like a great responsibility to me and one I am unwilling to take on until I am ready to settle down.

They're a bit different in terms of responsibility. Kids require far more attention while a cat is likely to be more self suficient while you're not there. Pets are more like having a long term friendship and if you look after them they will return the favour by being loving companions in return.
