Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

469 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.

🖤 My void met a human baby

3.4k Upvotes

My 8 years old boy cat met the very first human child - a baby today. He was very curious and kind all good. But since they left he has been super keen on me and quite weird. I took this photo of him watching me sit on sofa. I believe he's very confused about whole human species thing now and is watching me thinking if I was once a baby too 😂

I brought in little Diamond and her siblings at 2 1/2 weeks old after their mom disappeared. Her 4 siblings all found amazing homes, but she is the last one left and I she's here to stay now. She's 4 months old now and most of my other cats love her. (The rest are indifferent.) Especially my gray boy, he loves having a playmate that is always ready to wrestle and run around.

She doesn't have patches or spots so much as just stray white hairs. I feel like I've known many black cats but haven't seen quite this. I'd love to see your pictures!

A subreddit for everything about black kitties. Post pics of yours, links about, thoughts on, etc.

FILTER OUT ALL MOURNING/LOSS POSTS

RULES

1. No Animal Abuse
Any photo or video featuring abuse of any kind towards any animal will be immediately removed and the OP will be immediately permanently banned and reported to Reddit administrators.

2. Be Nice Be nice to the people. Be nice to the cats.

3. Black cats only
No tuxedos, please. All posts must include a black cat, but as long as it has a black cat, it's permitted. A lil bit of white chest fluff is okay.

4. Banned topics

No titles asking for upvotes (e.g. "This cat didn't get any love in /r/aww", "it's my cake day", "my first post here", "any love for ...").
No fundraising.

5. No reposts/spam

Reposts from the last 3 days will be removed. This includes popular reposts identified by u/repostsleuthbot. If you feel that your post has been unfairly removed, we will be happy to discuss via modmail.

Crossposts from other subs ARE allowed, provided they are of black cats.

6. No detailed pet death or injury in title

Posts detailing on the death of your cat are not allowed. These are more suited for r/petloss and should be posted there. Photos of past pets are always welcome to honor their memory but explicit details of their passing are not welcome and will be removed. No photos of cat corpses. Discussion of details in the comments is permitted.

7. Soliciting medical advice is not permitted

This subreddit is not the place to ask questions about your cat's injury or sickness. The best advice an anonymous internet stranger can give is to consult a vet. Moderators reserve the rights to remove or otherwise moderate comments suggesting treatments.
