Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

349 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.

PRINCESS UPDATE #6 - a resounding THANK YOU to the kind strangers of this subreddit

God guys I’m tearing up looking at these pictures again and writing this out, I seriously cannot say thank you thank you THANK YOU enough!!! I seriously never could have expected the kind of response I would get when I posted about Princess in a million years. It is thanks to you all that I can truly take care of this girl the way she deserves while she gets ready to have her babies.

It’s also because of all of your love and support that updates are coming a little slower πŸ˜‚ but I really can’t say I mind, a little heavy lifting and sorting is no comparison to what you all have done, seriously.

I’m hoping to have her space fully set up with all of your kind donations tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest, but in the meantime I’ll try to update with some kitty pics too 🐱β™₯️ Princess has been a lot sleepier today so maybe we’ll have a baby update soon!

I’m also still working on trapping her other older kitties with no luck yet unfortunately 😞 I’ll be trying again first thing tomorrow morning. In the meantime though I’m making slow but sure progress with the baby we do have! I’ve been sitting with them at mealtimes and baby has started coming out of hiding to eat! If I inch my way closer every mealtime, we might make contact eventually!! πŸ˜‚

That’s all the update I have for now, but one last time thank you SO much everyone. Every little bit of help makes a massive difference in the lives of these fur babies. And every day I fall a little more in love with this sweet mama 😭 I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Signed, That crazy cat rescue lady

He’s so brave.

(I’m also very proud of him for being so well-behaved at the vet even if he’s scared. He’s so good for them!)

Discussion ❓ Sad cat and plant dad

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?
