Heaven forbid that anyone should call me a cat nerd, but did you know that a cat’s sense of smell is around 14 times better than a human’s. That’s why kitty can always tell when you’ve opened a tin of something good!I love it when Fred pulls a funny grimace when he smells something. That’s his Jacobson's Organ (oo’err misses). All cats have them inside the mouth, behind the front teeth. The organ connects with the nasal cavity, so by opening their mouth slightly a cat can allow air to be sucked up into the cavity and kind of smell/tasted. Clever ol’ Fred.

Catworld 419 Now On Sale!
I don't know about you but there is something about taking down the Christmas decorations and finding myself in January that feels good. A new start to a new year.
Don’t get me wrong, I have had more than my fair share of festive fare and would like to get out for a good long walk. However, the weather has been restricting many of us going out and about lately and this can make you feel a little down. Cats too can suffer from the winter blues so we have some top tips for getting you both bright and motivated again.
I hope you haven’t suffered too much from the flooding. As we are told to expect more extremes of weather in the months to come, it is important to think about keeping our loved ones safe, whether they are indoor or outdoor cats. We have lots of advice from emergency first aid to evacuation kits. And let’s not forget the dreaded flea which is just as prevalent now in wintertime as it is in the summer months.
If you have to be stuck indoors for any length of time, why not have a go at photographing your cat? I can’t promise that it will be easy and much patience may be required but Emma Goulder explains how anyone can get good results with a standard digital camera and a lit- tle bit of time and imagination. Don’t forget to send us the results for our Album pages and upload your photographs to our facebook page here.
You can now download the latest issue of Catworld for just £2.95 includes tips and tricks to help you photograph your cat, an essential guide to flea protection, ask the experts and valentines and the cat plus much much more! Click here to download
Wishing you a very happy and healthy new year from the Catworld team

CatWorld : Issue 415 : October 2012
Oh yes, here in Arundel it's been raining cats and... Well, more cats. At least around the CatWorld office.
But seriously, it's far too wet outside.
Far too wet for poor little Terrance, who only hates three things, one of which, of course, is water (the other two being spiders and Hans, the neighborhood alsatian/bully/self-confessed cat tormentor).
Fortunately for Terrance, whose been propped sulkily on the windowsill all afternoon, or taking out pent up frustrations on the curtains , the new issue of CatWorld is on its way to subscribers and WHSmith stores! For those who can't wait (owners of hyperactive kittens like Terrance who've been kept in by the rain and need something to coax them down from the curtains...) the latest issue of CatWorld is available NOW on the iMag portal! If you're not already subscribed to the iMag, why not sign up for a free trial?!
iMag subscriptions are available from the hobbyworld store, as are regular subscriptions. As if receiving your copy of CatWorld direct to your doorstop each month wasn't a treat enough, all subscribers to the print edition of the magazine will receive the watch shown in the above image as a free gift!
If only someone had told poor Pebbles about CatWorld subscriptions, perhaps she wouldn't have had to brave the terrible weather in her little raincoat to stand outside WHSmiths until the latest issue goes on sale :(
Although it's certianly an issue worth waiting for! With a beautiful Russian Blue gracing the cover, issue 415 of CatWorld discusses cat people (our favourite type of people), the Russian Blue and the elegant Savannah. We bust a few myths, give some tips on cat-resuing and tell the story of Peg, a handicapped cat living life to the full! As usual, the latest issiue of CatWorld is bursting with much, much more brilliant features and articles!
Until next time - for now you'll have to excuse me as there's a kitten to coax down from the curtains yet again.
-CatWorld.

Supercats & September Catworld
We’ve all seen the movies or read the comics. Batman, Iron Man, Wonderwoman... But for many of us, our heroes are a little closer to home (sometimes). The September issue of CatWorld meets some heroic cats with incredible stories to tell.
That's right - the new issue of CatWorld is hot off the press! Subscribers can expect to find their copy waiting for them on their doormat (right next to their faithful feline) upon returning through the front door. For our web-savvy iSubscribers, the digital iMag is now available via the iMag portal.
If your SuperCat's already packed in the double life for a quiet retirement on the sofa then this senior special is certainly for you! It's packed to the brim with fantastic informative and essential articles on caring for older cats. And if your four legged friend is still just a kitten then hang on to this issue - it'll definitely come in handy in a dozen years or so (around the age your cat ought to reach retirement!)
For those who aren't subscribed, CatWorld is available in WHSmiths (UK), but if you never want to miss a copy then check out the CatWorld website for information of how to get your magazine delivered to you straight from the printers - or even sooner on your laptop or tablet computer with our iMag, no matter where you are in the world!
That's all from us for now, have a pawsome weekend!

July issue of CatWorld on its way!
It's that time of the month again. A storm is brewing and the queues are starting to gather. On my way into work this morning I passed this mob of impatient readers and their moggies, gathered outside the local newsagents.
Further along the road I overheard the poor postman defend himself from the agitated accosting of Thomas, the neighborhood's grumpiest cat.
It's a time of unrest for many cats and their owners. I myself was starting to feel a little anxious. Fortunately, soon after I arrived at my desk, salvation planted itself feet first upon the polished work surface in front of me.
That's right, the latest issue of Britain's favourite cat magazine is back from the printers - with a hot pink cover adorned with the amazing Sphynx!
Some think they're beautiful, others bizarre... We here at CatWorld love Sphynx kitties, and the latest issue is packed with pictures and information on this increasingly popular breed!
And with Summer perpetually teasing us the way it has been, it's almost time for many of us to be jetting off to warmer climates... But what about our beloved felines? Out July issue of Catworld includes a going away guides, discussing the best options for cats - so that everyone can have a happy holiday this summer!
As always there are plenty of images of adorable kittens so fret no longer! Printed copies of Catworld are on their way to the doormats of subscribers as we speak, iMag editions will be availabe very soon. We hope you're all excited about the latest issue - I'm just about to have a thorough nose through myself!
