Kittycat Magazine Issue 1 January/February 2014 | Page 4

Message from Message from The Editor Pic of Jenni Ferreira The aim is to help educate people e.g. potential cat owners and new kitten owners that don’t know much about cats, and those that would love to learn more about cats, by sharing cat stories, medical advice and tips from vets, and also to share cat show news and results with cat show enthusiasts. Readers are encouraged to submit stories about their cats, photographs and letters and questions are welcome at any time. Each issue will feature a specific breed of cat and Happy Ending stories. Welcome to the very first issue of Kittycat Magazine. Cats ... I can speak about cats all day long! My cat friends can too! Some call me the Crazy Cat Lady and they probably wouldn’t be wrong. I’m owned by gorgeous Balinese cats, I’ve been a cat sitter for the last 7 years and enjoy cat photography. My cats are my children, they are part of my family, I love them to bits and will do anything and everything I can to make sure they are healthy, happy and safe. When Retha Scholtz, Founder of Kittycat, approached me about launching an online magazine for Kittycat, it seemed like the perfectly natural thing to do. Kittycat Magazine is a bi-monthly online magazine for like minded people that are passionate about cats. All cats! Our first issue features the beautiful Balinese. There are lots of tips for new owners adding a kitten to the family as well as warnings about kitten scams that are doing the rounds at the moment.
