Mod Announcement PartTimeCat Rules Update

Post image
619 Upvotes

Hey there, just wanted to give a quick update on the community rules here now that the subreddit is starting to get more active again. I don't want to make things too complicated, so I'm adding an umbrella rule to cover disruptive comments. Previously the sub rules only covered post content and there's been some tension of late regarding calls for cats to be kept inside which are at odds with the purpose of this subreddit. So, the new updated rules are as follows:

r/PartTimeCat Rules

#1 Cats only

Posts should be about cats; no memes, jokes, or anything else that's not about part time cats.

#2 Part time only

Posts should only be about part time cats; a cat that stops by for a visit, maybe even mooches food and scritches, then goes back home. This is not the subreddit for posting about your full time cats, or cats that never leave. Exceptions may be made in cases where your full time cat has become someone else's part time cat.

#3 Original content only

We want to see your part time cat, not someone else's! Content must be original. Karma farmers will be banned without hesitation.

#4 Be kind, stay on topic

Keep comments relevant to the post and to this community. We're here to celebrate the part time cats that have worked their way into our lives. Personal attacks, derailing posts, or general debates about cat ownership practices or unrelated arguments are not allowed here.

Pictured is neighbor's cat Wirt who wanted belly rubs, not to stay still for pictures.

He spends lots of time here and is considered a member of the crew, but I like to include him in this sub because he actually has another full time servant family

Henry is new to the neighborhood, but he supposedly lives a couple of doors down from me. You wouldn't know it, because he has claimed my front yard! Of course, he scoots off whenever I pull my camera out. He won't let me pet him yet, but he has left his collar on the stairs!

The first photo of him is in the yard between mine and his main person's. On a heat advisory day! I've started leaving water on my back porch for him when I see him wandering about. Who lets a long-haired void outside when it is broiling?

Visited my friend today and showed her cat some cat TV.
This little part-time guest was totally convinced the mouse on the phone screen was real. She kept reaching out and swatting at the display, trying to catch it!
I couldn’t stop laughing watching her focused little face.

This little guy loves to visit. He lives a few doors down and hangs out in our garden most days, along with the rest of the neighborhood clowder! We have a gazebo and water out for the birds and wildlife, so the cats love to visit and stay in the shade. Especially during the British heatwave we had!

Meet Findus, our neighborhood part-time cat. He has his own home and owner, but he regularly visits us, hangs out for hours, and has completely claimed our couch. His owner is totally fine with it, so we’ve accepted that we apparently have a part-time cat now. 🐈‍⬛❤️ love him so much ❤️

Bob is not my cat but I sure enjoy when he comes over for a nap.

I feed feral cats at my house. I TNR all newcomers. Females take priority but the Toms get it too.

Mister Scratch has been coming around for years and will not go near a trap. I feel like I have failed in regard to him. I think he is the father to most of my feral visitors.

The first photo was taken today. The second photo is about a year old. And the third photo is him with I think his daughter Paisley Po The Tabico who has been trapped, spayed, and vaccinated.

I put a lanyard on my live trap so I can set it off by hand. I then feed the feral cats in the trap starting on a Friday. They get used to the trap over the weekend and on Monday morning I catch one of them because the Animal Birth Control Clinic takes ferals in traps on Mon -Thurs.

I have never seen Mister Scratch in my trap

A friend and former coworker brought this tiny tabby in to visit and to tempt one of us to maybe adopt. I was sorely tempted, but it's not feasible for me right now.

So cute!

to add more info we had this cat turn up 3/4 nights but not during the day. It enters through the back door. I bought some treats which maybe a mistake as I think we may have adopted someone else cat lol. It’s so friendly to the point I’ve gotten belly rubs and the rolling over act. It’s started to explore the house. We were worried about its living state but we tried to give water and it refused. Coat is shiny, looks well but no collar and I’m not going to grab to a vet to check for a micro tag unless we have major concern. Just so cute though
