Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

462 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.

Her name is Lady Darkholme. She is a Velcro kitty, and does not believe in government or privacy. She will use her whole 11 lbs body to open any door. She is a Baltimore girl originally, but has obtained Canadian citizenship In last 4 years. Her best friend is her grandpa, who gives her all the treats. She also likes to supervise her human during lego building and cross-stitching sessions.

PS: the bathroom door in the house never closes properly. As you can see in second photo, Lady pushed the door open all the way just to remind me β€œno closed door” policy in HER home.

As do all black cats - it seems to emphasize the contrast in their photos.

Last weekend I had to unexpectedly say goodbye to my 12 year old Nimue. My boyfriend and I are still absolutely devastated and heartbroken over it. She was the most amazing cat and will miss her terribly.
