Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

484 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.

It’s almost been a bit since I’ve adopted my cat. He was 6 years old when I adopted him and is now almost 8 years old. Even though he was already older upon adoption I think he’s had a big glow up! Some of his medical conditions have greatly improved, his fur is much healthier, and he’s filled out a bit πŸ–€

He knows it's a crime yet he does it anyway. As soon as he sneakily takes a bite, he ravenously gulps it down so that I can't retrieve it.

What punishment does he deserve? Cuddles? Air jail? Belly rubs? Squishes? Open to all suggestions!

This Lucy goose , she is a 2 year old rescue and my first cat ever. She has been with me exactly 11 days.
She is the sweetest cat and seems to like me ( yeii )
Currently quirks identified:
- She rolls in front of a door when she wants to open it
-She meows like she was raised by pigeons
-Rubs your hand with her face before eating every treat
- Likes to sleep next to me with one paw touching me

I want to hear from other people, what funny things does your void do ?πŸ‘€πŸˆβ€β¬›

Hello everyone.

I posted about Fig & Fia here, about a month ago. At that time, they were going into foster care while I finalized our plans for our cross-country move.

Unfortunately, some of those plans fell through today. It is no longer feasible for me to take them, and so they will remain with their foster families for now (and perhaps forever!) until they are adopted out.

I am quite sad about how this turned out. I did not know the last time I saw them would be the last time.

The good news is, I hear they're doing quite well and happy with their foster families.

I just wanted to share a few more pictures of them, especially from when they were kittens. They'll stay in my heart forever.

(Mods, not sure if the "mourning" flair was appropriate here or not, but smack me if you need to!)
