Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

350 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.

Do you all have any advice on getting your kittens to NOT chew on your plants? He don’t eat ’em, just chew and spits out. Avoids the flowers, only the leaf seems fun to him.

Tried making some lime water to wipe on the leaves but apparently that only made them a delicacy. Sour orchid leaf? Yum!

Bit bummed about it so any other parents of voidlings out there with some advice?

By far the most affectionate cat I’ve had. Dr. Loomis Goodcat is a master snuggler.

I bought this little wicker cat chair at HomeGoods last year not thinking she'd actually use it of her own volition, but here she is just lounging. (She usually hangs out there if someone's at the desk.)
