H


i PETS readers,
Welcome to another issue of PETS, our Fabulous
Feline special.
I have a confession to make: when I fi rst started work on
this magazine, I wasn’t a huge fan of cats. Having grown up
in a household of dog lovers, it seemed strange to me that
anyone would choose those aloof, stand-offi sh animals over
an adorable and enthusiastic dog.
After a few weeks on the job, I went to my fi rst cat photo
shoot — and I was hooked. This shoot involved some Maine
Coons, and the beautiful, large-breed creatures totally
won me over.
Soon, I started looking forward to spending time with
cats, as much as if not more so than my time with the
puppies. Contrary to what I fi rst thought, they’re not all aloof
after all, and make absolutely excellent pets. They’re also
fun to cuddle with, and some are even up for a game or two
— depending on the cat, of course. That’s what I love about
cats, and it’s why I was so excited to bring you another issue
dedicated to these fabulous animals.
Of course, we have lots of other features this issue, too,
including a great one on decoding dinner — do you know
how to choose the best food for your dog or cat? We also
have an interesting article on gastroenteritis in dogs, and
some fascinating features on the Weimaraner, Cairn Terrier,
Ragdoll, Dartmoor pony and Agouti guinea pig.
So sit back, relax and enjoy this issue of PETS. Give
your favourite animal a hug from me!
