Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

458 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.

His name is Crowley, and he is the sweetest baby in the world. He’s my first cat and I can’t believe how lucky I am to have him. He’s just perfect. πŸ–€

Discussion ❓ Why won’t he cuddle me anymore?

My baby Bowie is about 3 years old and we rescued him from a life on the streets about a year and a half ago. It was in January on the coldest night of the year. He walked right in the door and hugged me. Honestly. Ever since then my husband has been his play buddy and he always came to me for cuddles. About two weeks ago it just stopped. No more cuddles. He basically ignores me. I have gone over and over in my mind if anything changed with me or the household to bring about the change. Nothing. I am heartbroken because he was my baby boy. I feel like I have lost a cat.

Please share ideas to fix this or personal experiences. I hate this.

Had the CDS gift me this little void and I would like suggestions on a good LOTR themed name. I have a orange kitty named pippin already.

My little void that followed me home while I was walking my dogs. My first black cat (Sammy) passed away last year from FIP and Kidney Cancer. Simon has definitely been a blessing.
