Cat Fancy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cat Fancy is a collective term for those involved in competitively breeding, exhibiting and judging cats. The cat fancy originated in the United Kingdom with the first cat show being held at the Crystal Palace in 1871.
Cat Fancy is also the name of a popular North American monthly magazine dedicated to cats, owners of cats, and breeders of cats. Following the closure of the American magazine Cats (not to be confused with the GCCF's magazine of the same name, which is still published and has reverted to its former name Our Cats), Cat Fancy magazine's main rival in North America is Cats and Kittens. Cat Fancy's publishers also offer Dog Fancy for dogs and their owners.
Each issue is dedicated to a certain breed, which is shown on the cover and on a poster inside.
The magazine also has health tips, polls, Editor's notes, stories written by cat owners, cat product information, cat themed fashions, and a cat picture gallery, among other features.
