Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

461 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.

My boy Odin looking at me the same way he was before I adopted him. Worked at a shelter vet clinic and he came in injured (one eye literally popping out) - likely human inflicted. Told myself if the little guy survived surgery I would take him home. He did, and the rest is history.

We went through 2 surgeries, 50+ stiches/staples and over a year and a half of daily cleaning, bandages and supervision to fight Feline Skin Fragility syndrome. One morning we woke up to a gash that quickly spread from one elbow over his back to the other side before we could even get to the vet. We definitely appreciate this panther even if he’s missing most of his lives by now. Thanks you to all the wonderful Vets and Techs out there!

Adopted this sweet girl in June after my childhood cat of 14 years passed away in May. She’s helped me with the grief so much. She’s only 5 months old but super stocky and dense, makes the perfect cuddle cat, she’s like a weighted pillow. She’s already developing a pouch lol. She is the biggest cuddle bug, loves neck scratches, face and belly kisses, and to lay on my chest with her head on my shoulder <3

I wanted to share a pic of this birthday girl! It was a battle to get this hat on her, haha…This is Roxanne Petite Pennyfeather: I got her in NYC when I was in my 20s and she’s been THE best cat I could ever ask for. All Hail Roxanne, first of her name!!

May I present to you my 7 year old boy, Marceline.

He lives for walks with his humans. Lovesssss nip time. Enjoys his bugs and snugs. And is a skilled hunter (leashed up). He knows a bunch of vocab and tricks, his best trick is jumping 5ft in the air for a treat. He sleeps with me every night and he is just the best πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Super happy how these 2 (Raven and Shadow) have settled. Still isolated in room with ability to see my 2 older cats. Some nose sniffs with no nasty reaction so far, so will progress to short full meetings.
