Fake Cat Fancy Twitter Account: Cat Fancy Does Not Fancy It

Cat enthusiasts, rejoice! Cat Fancy is on Twitter! Hang on a sec... now that I'm reading these, I'm thinking that maybe this isn't linked to the real Cat Fancy Magazine or the Cat Channel.

Cat Fancy editor Susan Logan wrote to Yahoo! News after finding out about the fake Cat Fancy Twitter feed. Her initial response was, "Oh, no".

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Dylan.

We appreciate the creativity people use in harnessing Twitter for satire and humor, but we cannot condone hijacking our trademark and undermining the trust our readers have in us for good, solid advice.

Purrs,

Susan Logan
Editor, CAT FANCY, CatChannel.com, Cats USA, Kittens USA

That's an awesome signature, come on.

At any rate, here's the fake Cat Fancy Twitter feed, in all its twisted glory. You have to read it aloud in John Waters' voice.

Meanwhile, Fake Cat Fancy can join Fake Wendi Deng and Fake BP.

[n.b. Yes, there's a cat channel. Why is there no wombat channel? No raccoon channel? No porcupine channel? This strikes me as unfair.]
