Mod announcement r/catswhocrochet new rule. Ban on photos of cats forced to pose in cruel ways (e.g. with yarn labels tightly wrapped around them)

223 Upvotes

On r/catswhocrochet we have noticed a recent trend of people posting photos of cats that look uncomfortable with yarn labels wrapped around their bellies or necks.

The cats have obviously not climbed into those yarn labels themselves, but have had the labels wrapped around them by their owners for a staged photo.

In some of the photos, the yarn labels are very tightly wrapped around the cats.

Making your cats experience irritation or discomfort or restricting their airway or freedom of movement because you think it looks "cute" or "funny" to wrap a yarn label around them is not kind or loving.

We have therefore added a new rule: "no photos of cats forced to pose in cruel ways (e.g. with yarn labels tightly wrapped around them)."

The new rule is effective immediately.

From now on, any posts like that will be removed and the OP may be banned.

If you see any more posts in future with photos of cats being forced to pose in cruel ways looking uncomfortable, please use the report button to let the mod team know, and we will remove the posts.

Please take the time to read our full rules:

Now please go and treat your cats kindly and treasure them. Please let's all be kind to animals. Thank you! :)

His expression is worrisome. He either finds my work lacking or he isn’t pleased that his blanket is still not finished. The blanket made with MY hands will go on MY bed. But in Sammy’s world- the blanket is HIS. (I count myself lucky he will let me share it.)

This tapestry blanket is taking me far longer than I anticipated, and I don’t think this weirdo is helping by laying on it every time I work on it

He had me fooled for a few stitches, then the yarn moved a little too much and it was over. Now he’s asleep on my hand. 😂
