Research - Pet Magazine Subgenres

Subgenre 1 - Cat Magazines

    Cat magazines tend to focus on the silly, yet "elusive" tendencies of cats, with odd behaviors that aren't always understandable. Inside Your Cat's Mind highlights this feature of cat magazines as the masthead even hints at the idea that a cat's mind is something to understand. 

    They also keep the comedic effect with cover images like the one shown being a cat standing and pawing cutely. To continue this aesthetic, decorative fonts and small design details like the irregular line make the cover more fun. 

    

Subgenre 2 - Animal Work Magazines

    Working animal magazines focus on a more serious tone, but include the familial partnership between pets and humans. "workingdog" includes stories of K9 units in the police force, while also offering advice as seen in the article titles "Creating an Effective K9 Unit." 

    This subgenre extends the mixture of industry with law enforcement. As other magazines focus on veterinary care, these type of magazines offer advice from professionals in K9 training and other types of animals work like farms and service animals.
