Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

483 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.

We originally went to the shelter to adopt one little orange kitten. When we were playing with him, the shelter volunteer mentioned he had a little sister and if we'd like her too. She was the runt and was so small. It was not the plan, but I'm always so grateful we brought her home. Her brother is huge, and she is still so tiny.

I love when I'm working and she graces me with her presence. She's smol but is usually just guarding the apartment. She's very stealthy so has no time for nonsense.

I'm convinced she was meant to be with us. She's the sweetest girl and I'm thankful all the time that they are part of our family.

Discussion ❓ How do you even go on vacation?

Post image
1.6k Upvotes

My partner and I adopted Clover when she was 8 months old and we had to attend to a family funeral shortly after we adopted and had no choice but to put her in a kitty chateau. She hated the whole experience and we have since not left her alone at all.
That was two years ago…

We finally decided we needed to take vacation and are currently spending two weeks in Italy. Today is day 5…

We arranged for a sitter to come twice daily. We’ve been hiring the sitter to come spend time with her for almost 6 months before our trip in hopes that she would warm up to him. No such luck….
She’s still hiding from him every single time…

And I’m finding myself checking our cameras every 30 mins to see how she’s doing….

I dont think I’m actually enjoying being away from her!

Help! How do you guys cope?!

So much black hair was vacuumed up and wiped off the walls in preparation for painting. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…I had to politely remove him from the premise.
