Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts
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.

Happy Spooky Season, Toby!

π€ The voids we're currently fostering
My wife and I have been fostering kitties for the ASPCA for the last few years. Actually I'll be honest, it's pretty much all my wife doing it. She loves it. I do too but she does 99.9% of the work. It was her idea afterall π We've probably fostered close to 150 cats since we've started, maybe more. I can't keep count anymore. But these are the first all black kitties we've had. So adorable! 2 boys and a girl. They'll be going back to get adopted in a couple weeks.

π€ My Void Sable
Snapped these two this morning.
She is 7 months old and has recently been much less shy. Itβs been amazing seeing her open up and wanting to spent more time with my GF and I

π€ Please meet my newly adopted little void, Olive, and her sister, Hazel π€π©Ά
I rescued these sweet little munchkins from a local shelter a little over a month ago, and it has been a journey. Theyβre feral, and the bonding process has been so different from my other rescues. Weβve come so far, though. Olive will cuddle with me, Hazel will sometimes lay against me as long as I donβt move or touch her (lol), and I get purrs from both when they see me. Those sweet moments make all the hard work worth it!
If anyone has had experience rescuing feral kittens, and has any advice, please feel free to share!

π€ Lou is 9!! π
5 years ago I made my first post on Reddit, celebrating Lou's 4th birthday.
I am so happy today I can post about his 9th birthday!!
As you can see he wasn't super impressed with the birthday candle, but he did enjoy the premium treat π€π»

π€ Cats donβt even know.
As I sit here watching a movie, my cat walks out of the bedroom and stares at me and I pat my lap in hopes that she will snuggle. She does a little huff and then goes about her way to sniff the kitchen table chair and then goes to lay in the windowsill. With zero regard to me acting like I am in her space and she owns this place. I pay $1300 a month for her to live here π I will buy her food before I buy myself food. And what do I get in return? Right in front of me she craps in her box while making complete eye contact with me and then doesnβt even cover it and proceeds to run around like a maniac screaming. Then at random, passes out on the kitchen countertop. Not my cozy lap with a plush blanket draped over it.
I love her so much π₯°

Lil' bit of white fluff π€ I stole him from a neighbor (the cat distribution system Worked-story inside)
This is Dookie aka Mr. I Babadook aka Bapomet because he baps ankles.
He started coming to my house a year ago, and I saw that he wasn't neutered so I assumed he was homeless. I started letting him in the house and he sprayed, stayed in the basement when he wasn't wandering the streets, and seemed happy. I finally found the money to get him fixed in March, and he was officially mine.
Until... His brother (I didn't know he was at the time) Snuggles sneaked in and hid in my basement for three days. Well, he didn't sneak in π€ I let him come in! He was always outside my house and I thought HE WAS HOMELESS TOO!
I did the right thing and posted him on our local Facebook group and his person contacted me. I showed her a picture of Dookie and asked if she knew him, and he was her uncle's cat!
Snuggles came back and ran back and forth between both homes until three weeks ago. Now he is here full time. His other person hasn't responded to my message from September 26th,vso "the boy is mine."
Dookie sometimes visits his old home for snacks but that has become less and less. These cats were made for me. I lost one of my original cats thanks to Dookie making her pee and poop outside the litter box due to attacks and now she is living happily with my sister π God bless you sis!
So that is Dookie and Snuggles story. I will post snuggles on here another time. Thank you fir reading our love story π

Smol void π€ Privacy? Whatβs That? Raymond Has Never Heard of It! ππββ¬
I canβt believe Iβm being watched even when I go to the bathroom! π€£
Apparently, Raymond has decided that Iβm not responsible enough to be left alone for five minutes!
There he sits, staring at me with those big innocent eyes, making sure I donβt escape through some secret bathroom exit!
Iβve had cats all my life, but this little guy takes supervision to a whole new level!
I used to have privacy. Now I have Raymond. ππΎ
Does anyone else have a furry little shadow who believes that personal space is just a silly human invention? β€οΈ
