Does anyone have a subscription to any magazines. I used to have a subscription to Cat Fancy many years ago but stopped since advertising was taking over too much of the magazine.

Now I just subscribe to TV Guide, not just for the listings but I love their articles about some of my favorite TV celebs. It has to be over 20 years that I have been getting this mag and have seen it change so many times. I do enjoy it tho. What do you subscribe too.

Cosmo, and mom gave me womans day family circle and redbook for a gift

Husband gets MANY mags. about 12 I think now-all computer/cars

I loved cat fancy in the 90s I hit a garage sale and bought YEARS for about 20. I read them and got cat fancy for years-stopped it in early 00s for same reason-plus at that point i could get better info online. They also featured a shelter I worked at VERY briefly(HORRIBLE uncaring ppl) and I never could deal with after that

No, for that same reason.

I cancelled my Cat Fancy subscription about three years ago, also because the advertising was getting out of hand, and cancelled TIME last month because we get it at school now and I can get individual issues on my Kindle if I want to.

I still subscribe to a German cat magazine, but it's getting repetitious.

We used to have scrips to National Geographic, the Economist, and Scoientific American. We didn't renew because we couldn't afford them anymore.

Cat Fancy and Cat Watch. I'm a veracious reader when it comes to cats. I should know more about cats than I do...

Cat Fancy, Cosmo, and a Mustang Club of America magazine that came with the membership (we got to use the X-Plan discount for our Mustang by paying $50 for a year membership with MCA
)

I have a subscription to good housekeeping, which i got for free, and which I barely ever read. Magazines these days are mostly ads.

I had Cat Fancy, stopped for all the same reasons, but then they offered a super low renewal rate - I do like the pictures and I like that they also focus on rescue cats a bit more these days.

I get the Tufts and Cornell cat newsletters to try and learn more about medical issues facing cats.

I have cat fancy but its overdue to resubscribe and until the holidays are over I can't. I would like to get better homes and gardens and my dad gets playboy
which I am constantly reminding him should not be on the coffee table.

I don't subscribe to any magazines, I do pick up issues of cat mags on Ebay when my breed is featured.
