NY Magazine: Who Killed Cat Fancy?

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/12/who-killed-cat-fancy.html?mid=google&google_editors_picks=true

-snip-
About two weeks ago, longtime Cat Fancy contributor Audrey Pavia got a phone call from the pet magazine's editor, Susan Logan. Like most of the writers there, Pavia adores Logan — and that made Logan's bad news all the harder to bear. After 49 years of publication, America's longest-running cat magazine was getting canceled.

"I was shocked that it was Cat Fancy that went under, just because it's been around so long and is such a well-loved magazine," Pavia told me. "It's like your parents. You always just expect your parents to be there. Then one day, they're gone."

I often subscribed. The breed profiles were particularly good.

I saved these magazines so I could refer back to articles. Have stacks and stacks.

I had noticed the issues were getting a bit thin--not as many pages as before.
