Cat Fancy, a well known magazine for feline lovers is not on Twitter at least not officially. Someone else has been impersonating Cat Fancy using the handle @Cat_Fancy claiming it to be the official Twitter feed of Cat Fancy Magazine and even going so far as to post images of it's magazine covers.
Here are a few of their recent tweets:
New cat pope ushers in 1,000 year reign of hell on earth.
Cats ignoring shrill cries for help coming from the basement while enjoying wine spritzers at a Super Bowl party.
Joyous pile of cats at Burning Man.
How many kittens can u fit in your mouth?
DEATH TO ALL DOGS.
"We have no affiliation with the real magazine whatsoever," Carey O'Donnell, a 22-year-old New Jersey native and recent college grad who operates the @Cat_Fancy feed with Mary Charlene (@IamEnidColeslaw) and a guy named Steve (@MaybeNotSteve), wrote in a Twitter message. "[Steve] started it originally just for fun (cats are creepy) then asked myself and [Charlene] to help out in December."
Susan Logan, editor of the Irvine, Calif.-based Cat Fancy, told Yahoo News that she was unaware of the faux feed. "Oh no," Logan said.
"we cannot condone hijacking our trademark and undermining the trust our readers, " wrote Ms. Logan and signed the letter "purrs."
