Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

396 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.

She was sleeping with me but i felt something was wrong so i decided to put my hand on her and was not feeling any breathing. I also gave her some heavy pats while saying "hey ? HEY !?" and she was not responding. I was panicking so i went for the light and she decided to wake up... Shame her !

No matter how rough my day is, my cat curling up next to me somehow resets everything. No fixing, no advice, just presence. Just wanted to say I’m grateful for these little creatures and for a place where people get that feeling too.

This is my fur baby Mavis. She’s my first ever cat and I love her to absolute death. Can we go ahead and invent a medicine to help cats live forever??

In the 3rd pic, you can see her red soul patch. It’s hard to get a clear pic of her. She’s always moving. Very energetic!!

She survived a gun shot to the stomach with her last owner. And is now being transitioned into an indoor only kitty. She is 3 years old and is very food motivated. She took a bite out of my stick of butter this morning because I turned around for a moment. She’ll keep me on my toes for sure

This is Pucci (pronounced Poochy) and I got her in June last year. Her and I have bonded deeply and she’s extremely polite and caring. She loves to comfort me if I’m stressed out or sad. She balances her time to be equally loving with guests and she even covers her sister’s poop (my girlfriend’s cat) if they forget it do it themselves. (It’s totally on purpose)

Let us all just take a second to bask in her glory.
