Hi folks,
I received my advance copy of the March 2009 Your Cat magazine in the post this morning. Our FIV article is on page 68 entitled Living with... FIV cats.
I am very pleased with their presentation and they have kept it pretty much word for word, can't wait to show they boys tonight and mum'll be over the moon.

Hi,
Thanks folks,
I was feeling all cheerful but just got a phone call from mum's nursing home telling me that she was taken to hospital A&E this morning after having difficulty breathing in the night I have just rung the hospital and have to ring back in a while, now feeling very stressed again especially this close to the move and all that, I guess that life gives one a boost and then likes to pull one back down to reality again within the hour! . Will post back when I have more news, she's so looking forward to the move and meeting Alfie and Frankie and the article will make a lovely suprise, what cruel fate if she's been taken ill again now.
Cheers
Leigh

I am sorry to hear about your mum Leigh and you are so right, you feel a little bit good and then turn round and get kicked in the face :hug:
Will have a gander at the mag in Tescoes ;D
-
Thanks why I put the page number in the title Gill ;) so that you wouldn't attract too much attention by having to thumb through :)
-
Sorry to read about your mum, hope she is a little better today.
Take care.

she is in the right place Leigh, I'm sure she will perk up soon but yes you are right life does give with one hand an take away with the other
-
I'm going to buy it Leigh and I hope your Mum is okay :hug:
-
Thanks for the info on the mag and let us know how your mum is, Leigh - I hope that taking her into hospital was just a sensible precaution on her home's part :hug:
-
Sending lots of positive vibes for your Mum hun :hug: xx
-
Thanks everyone,
Just phoned my mum's nursing home and they say that she's waiting for an ambulance to bring her back to the home, that's a relief I don't mind telling you, the last two times something has happened she ended up spending a total of 11 months in hospital.
I bought a couple of A4 frames for the article lunchtime, one for mum's copy and one for the boys' copy :) , you note I said the boys' copy and not my copy :) something to treasure as the years roll by.
I added a new thing to the website last night which displays a different picture at different times of the day to go with the wording which does the same thus:

That's really good news about your mum :hug: Now you can relax and bask in the glow of media stardom 8)
-
good news about Mum!
-
Great news about your Mum
-
Thank you folks,
Yes a big relief, it'll be the boys that'll be basking in their media stardom Chris :)
-
Glad to hear that your mum's on her way back home Leigh. Going to have to hunt out the mag on Saturday cause my local newsagents don't stock it.
-
Will the article be on their website as well Leigh? http://www.yourcat.co.uk
-
Probably not Sam, their website does have a minature flash animation with a few pages from the current edition but I don't think they are putting the article on as it appears in the magazine, I could be wrong though they haven't mentioned anything about it.
However I am going to ask them after a suitable time, probably after the April edition is on sale for their permission to scan it and reproduce it on my website.
Cheers
Leigh
-
Excellent idea Leigh ... I'm sure they will agree.
BTW ... Sorry, I meant to say earlier I'm pleased your Mum is OK and back home :hug:
-
Thanks Sam,

Glad to hear your mum is better and well done on the article have just read it
-
Glad your mum is feeling better and congrats on the article ;D
-
I'm pleased your mum is ok :hug:
And i'll be buying the mag this weekend because of your article :)
-
Leigh, so pleased to hear your Mum's been allowed home :hug: and great news about the article. ;D Don't think our supermarket sells it either, but will have a try at Asda and see if they've got it. Love the picture boards! :evillaugh:
-
got my mag yesterday Leigh - a whole page, I'm very impressed!!!
-
Thanks folks,
I so hope that it encourages people to find out more about FIV and give loving homes to FIV cats, all our FIV cats make such great ambassadors for their FIV brethren. I posted a thank you to their editor Sue Parslow on my website thanking her for providing me this opportunity to spread the word about FIV cats. I was so pleased that they kept the names of the charities in from whom I adopted Alfie and Frankie as they all deserve a hearty thanks and a mention as they've been so supportive. Liz at CAS is tickled pink as she fostered Alfie and has become such a good friend.
As for the boys, Alfie and Frankie were highly unimpressed ,they each gave the article a sniff and, upon discovering that it was inedible, walked away to find something that WAS edible ;D I rang and spoke to mum last night and she told me that she choked on a sandwich but was fine now so all's well that ends well as the saying goes. More boxes coming tonight, I hope to complete the last of my packing tomorrow and then up to see mum on Sunday (assuming that I still have the strength to get out of bed after Saturday's labours) and will be taking her a copy of the magazine as a suprise. One week today, all being well, I shall be a "HOMEOWNER" ;D ;D
Cheers

just bought my copy Leigh and it looks fab ;D
there was a lady flicking through and reading that page... anyone from Purrs in Scunthorpe Tescos tonight?
-
Nice one Leigh! ;D
Also in the issue is a feature on my friend's cat, Raffles! :)
-
Bought the magazine this morning - well done, Leigh!! A well-written, concise informative article :briggin:
Also in the issue is a feature on my friend's cat, Raffles! :)
I loved that article and pointed Raffles out to my OH as a cat Id like to own (if we only had space for more .......) :)
-
Thanks folks,
Let's hope it attracts attention to FIV puds.Raffles is lovely Witty :)
Cheers
Leigh

I think Alfie and Frankie deserve a special "Congratulations on your Fame" Chloe-cake .....
As its Valentines Day, too, this seems appropriate :)
Chloe-Cat
CAKE
(And please may she have their pawtographs)
-
I bought it today and thought your article was great, Leigh. Raffles is also gorgeous :Luv:
The same issue also has a mini profile on Somalis (albeit very brief and without much in the way of pics) so yet another reason to buy it ;)
-
No wonder I couldn't dind it today - they only had the Feb issue in Canterbury WH Smith :-[
-
One Pawtograph coming up ;D

Wow!
On behalf of Chloe-cat, thank you very much indeed!! She will add that and the article to her "famous cats boasting-book" collection :)
-
You must be really proud Leigh, well done!
Sorry to hear about your Mum, hope she feels better today. :hug:
-
Hiya,
I am very proud of them both, they have such lovely characters.
Thanks mum is much better, I saw her earlier today and she seems back to normal.
Cheers
Leigh

Tried 2 supermarkets and a shop onm y way back from my mum's. Your Dog, Your Horse, Your House and Your Hair - NO YOUR CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl:
Have all copies been bought? :-:
I'll try again tomorrow.

-
you can buy it on line Mary or if its only Leigh's bit you want I can email you a scanned copy
Witty i wondered if that cat as a rival of Pearl!
-
W H Smiths is probably your best bet. They always have it in. I would be surprised if they have sold out as it only came out at the weekend. I have problems finding it anywhere else.
-
Cheers, I'll try some others tomorrow and then online as I can't get to Smiths until Saturday.
Dawn, I do only want Leigh's bit but thought I'd buy the mag fro a change. Never looked at it before.
