My only guess is if you did a meme/astrological anything/survey, sometimes they have offers for magazines tied up with them. Maybe you clicked on that one, somehow?

I would actually check with the magazine, as you could receive an invoice for a subscription (unless someone sent you one as a gift).

Now, a subscription to "Working Cat Mothers" might at least have had some value.

Yeah. I did flip through it, but i can't relate to anything at all. Sure, the kid stuff - i wasn't expecting to. But they also have this foo on makeup and shoes and... argh, i guess trendy soccer mom stuff. I'm so not trendy.

I imagine an office conversation went this way:
Person1: ...And that's how she fixed the problem.
Person2: Yeah, that Neko is one bad mutha...
P1: Shut yo' mouth!
P2: I'm just talkin' 'bout Neko!
P1: Then I can dig it!
P3 (just walking by and hearing only part of the conversation): *thinks* Neko is a bad mother?! I must get her a subscription to Working Mothers immediately!

And thus, good intent goes horribly astray! :D

Do you know any practical jokers?

I had a cadet aboard my ship this past summer, a young man of about 19, and when he got back to school, i signed him up for a subscription to Teen Vogue as a joke. It only cost me $10, and old Tucker got a year's subscription PLUS a stylish tote bag.

And, several years ago, i signed another sailor up for Martha Stewart LIVING because he had this affinity for interior decorating. That one backfired, in that he really, seriously liked the magazine and didn't "get" that it was a prank.

Maybe you should contact the magazine just to figure out how you got signed up. We live in the age of identity theft, after all.
But chances are it was just some online quiz/mis-clicked email spam link.
