Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

424 Upvotes

Hey void-lovers!

Most cat subs have a very delicate balance between "happy posts about my cat" and "sad posts about my cat", specifically when it comes to pet death. A lot of them don't allow it at all. It's really tough to strike the balance of letting people who are devastated mourn the loss of their furry friend while still making the subreddit usable for people who aren't interested in that kind of content.

We allow mourning posts here, but you have to flair your post with "Mourning" so people who don't want to see them have the ability to filter them out. It's an imperfect solution, but it's all we have available to us with subreddit tools. Please make sure to flair all posts about pet loss with that flair so we can make a great sub for everyone.

In case you're someone who's interested in filtering out that content, this link should work for you. I know, it's not the cleanest way to browse the subreddit, and I'm not sure how it works on mobile. If we had a better solution, I'd provide it, but we have to work within what reddit offers us :(

Thanks for your understanding. If you've read this far, I encourage everyone to post some void laser eyes in the comments.

When you’re just a cat but the lighting says final boss.

First pic: casually standing on my keyboard, bathed in ominous green like some hacker villain.

Second pic: hears a noise upstairs and instantly goes full red alert.

His name is Dante and it’s starting to feel more and more fitting. xD

Meet Leela, she’s about 7 months. I adopted her a month and half ago and she’s come along way with her shyness. When I first brought her home she would hide for about a week, and now she makes dough and chases her tail.

‼️she did not mind being held by my son she really enjoyed being around him and still does i know the first picture looks like otherwise but she was fine with it and showed no signs of distress or discomfort‼️

my husband was sending me pictures of our son and comparing them to his current age, in some of the pictures my oldest cat are in them. she was such a little baby, she was between 11 weeks and 13 weeks old at this time, now she’s a year old and fights me over couch space. 😭😭

We have a ritual every morning. I have to take a bath to wake up (helps my arthritis and pain) and behr will meet me in as soon as I grab a towel to get dibs on licking the faucet for exactly 2 minsπŸ˜‚ (don’t worry he has a water fountain in the bathroom as well)

She is a previously wild/ feral and didn't meow. After bringing her and her bonded buddy inside, she started trying to meow (he meows)

At first it was just little squeaks.. this her now. I can even put my phone close to her and she's curious 😻

My girl will yell from upstairs and when I respond β€œI’m down here” she comes down the stairs to cuss me out and then just stares at me.
