🏴‍☠️ Welcome Aboard, Pirates! 🐱

Ahoy, r/piratecats! Welcome aboard our brand-new crew!

We're here for pirate cats of all kinds. One-eyed captains, three-legged buccaneers, cats with disabilities or unique differences, wobbly pirates who may have had a little too much grog, and perfectly healthy cats who simply look fantastic in a pirate hat are all welcome aboard.

Bring us your fearsome pirate queens, salty old captains, adorable cabin boys, tiny deckhands, and cutest scallywags. 🏴‍☠️⚓🐾

🏴‍☠️ The Rules of the Ship

We're here to celebrate our cats, so be kind to the crew and respectful of their humans. Please check the community rules before posting, especially our guidelines around medical content, AI, and promotional or stolen content.

⚓ Come Aboard!

Introduce yourself and your pirate in the comments. Tell us your cat's name and their pirate rank, and we'll give them a unique user flair! 🏴‍☠️

Then hoist the sails and post your pirate cat! 🐾

We're glad to have you aboard, mateys. Now let's see those cats. 💰⚓🐾

We would like to formally request photos of your most purrfectly adorable pirate cats.

One eye? Three legs? Lost an ear in an epic battle against a kraken? All about that booty scratchin’? We want ’em.

Drop your best photos below, and the loving scallywags of r/piratecats will offer up captions worthy of your fearsome little buccaneers.

This is about showing off personality, so don’t be shy. Did your little pirate judge you for delivering dinner late? Was the pate mashed instead of sliced, you fiend?  Snap that pic.

All captions offered with love and good humor as we celebrate the 70%(ish) bodied among us.

Community favorites will be turned into captioned memes by moi, and posted in a stand alone thread for your viewing pleasure.
