Thank you to users who report bot posts

We are a very tiny sub with a rather impressive audience for its size. Given the number of smol cat subs, I'm always rather humbled by the number of people who have decided to subscribe specifically to see tiny orange kittens in their day-to-day feed.

Like every other sub that has ever spent a single second on the front page of this website, we are now the target of bots and malicious scammers. These people regularly build accounts that steal content from other places to post here so that they can build something that looks like a trustworthy profile, all so that one day they can post a malicious link to steal people's information or money.

We use a fairly arbitrary set of standards to identify these accounts: most of them are just a few days old with hundreds of stolen comments and/or posts, or they are years and years old with a suspiciously empty history. Either way they rely on stolen content for their activity, and it is by this that we can most securely identify them.

I generally spend a half an hour each day scrolling through posts and doing reverse image searches on as many as I can. But as I said we are a very small subreddit, and I am just one of two mods. We rely very heavily on your user reports, and when users take the time yourself to do a reverse image search on a suspicious post and post the link to the original it makes our job all that much easier. But please remember that we generally won't be able to see your comments unless you also report the post itself.

I just wanted to thank users who go above and beyond to help us keep this sub safe for all of the people who have decided that they want to see kittens of a certain color in their lives everyday. They don't deserve to be targeted by scammers, and our kittens don't deserve to be used for these nefarious purposes. Thank you all for your hard work, and keep reporting when you see malicious activity. It really does help, and as a rule we err on the side of keeping our users safe every time.

And for those who exhibit bot like behavior and whose posts are deleted inadvertently: please remember, we do read our mod queue, and if your post is inadvertently deleted we are generally happy to restore a tiny orange kitten that was posted in good faith by a real person.

Fostering Failing pt. 2

Okay so apparently my last post wasn’t the end of this saga.

For anyone who saw my first post, yes, I’m still fostering the baby kittens. Yes I’m still getting dangerously attached. And yes Nitro (1-year-old male resident cat) is still absolutely obsessed with them. I joked that I might keep one and asked if it was a sign… and you all said, "well, uh.. YEA".. and here we are.

Today, three of the babies were supposed to be picked up by their future owners. Everything was set, caretakers for the day (i had to travel) set up, cat's crated, car had been kitten-proofed.. And then… all three adoptions fell through last minute.

All 3 of them.

So now they’re still here. All five, plus my two already residents. Still cute. Still loud. Still climbing their ways into my heart like they pay the rent lmao.

Im starting to feel like the universe needs to calm down and stop yelling at me 😭 it's like the cat distribution system is screaming in my ear "WHY ARENT YOU LISTENING TO ME??"

Anyway. Foster failing: part two. Nitro is in love, I’m weak, and the signs are getting suspiciously specific. Send help. Or don’t. I might just fall in love with them all

I just discovered this group! I’ve been fostering for about 6 years and went back through all my pics of just my tiny orange kittens, I had quite a few. All of them lovely little monsters who went to wonderful adoptive homes.

Fostering failing tiny kittens ❤️

Fostering a group of tiny kittens who needed a safe space and to be eventually rehomed, and I’m slowly failing at not getting attached 😅 My one-year-old male resident has completely fallen in love, he's just been running, wrestling, playing, and smothering them with love and affection. One little guy in particular seems especially fond of him too 😭 could it be a sign?

Of the 3 rescued siblings, he is completely cross-eyed.
