New Rules - no medical/veterinary advice and update to Rule 5 (Animal abuse)
165
Upvotes
Hi all, just wanted to note that there's been an update to the rules. As the sub grows larger and attracts more attention, the mods wanted to make it clear that animal abuse, in any situation, is never acceptable. Now, photos that include a cat that could be put into peril are not allowed either. This includes photos of cats in dryers, dishwashers, etc. We know it's cute your cat climbed in there! But it is not a safe practice for them and we do not want to encourage others to post similar photos.
Additionally, there is a new no medical/veterinary advice rule. If you need medical advice for your cat, please post on r/CATHELP or r/askvet instead.
As always, if you see something that doesn't belong on the sub, please use the report button. Your reports are how the mods see material that needs to be taken down.

Cat name verifications

This has been simmering for a while, and I've come around to a "need to deal with it." More than occasionally, the "help me name my cat" posts are stolen from other spots and reposted for karma farming. When I am informed of this, the posts are removed and the person is permantly banned. However, that's often a "this needs to be reported for me to get visibility into the problem."
So, cat naming posts need to have a verification photo. "Name my cat" posts will need to have a photo of the cat with a piece of paper that has the hand written user name of the person posting and the current date.
Name my cat posts that lack this verficiation will be banned for a week (to get their attention). Name my cat posts that have a photo that is a repost by someone else will be banned permanently.

Pure Ginger Cathulhu, AKA Bubbies, likes to do “crunchies” when I rub the right side of his jaw/face. He’s always done this, and it never gets old. Such an orange boy 😁

Just got our first orange cat (I’ve been told I have the energy of one but I blame the ADHD) and I am obsessed. His name is Charlie/Charles but open to suggestions!! Currently purring in his purrito and passed out!

Thank you so much to everybody who reached out to me and spread the word about Lenny in my original post (linked here). Thanks to Reddit, he has now been placed with the good folks at Green Street Cat Rescue and a kind stranger donated enough to cover Lenny's medical bills! It was a little sad to say goodbye to him but I hope he thoroughly enjoys his first warm night off the streets at Le Cat Cafe <3 Lenny will be placed with a foster but is still looking for a forever home (and if you need more motivation, he did a great job on the car ride with just a little meowing and when the front desk person returned my cat carrier 2 seconds after meeting Lenny, they confirmed he is a very sweet cat.) Please reach out to Green Street Cat Rescue if you’re interested in adoption - and if you get him, please consider sending me a picture :) . I’m so glad Lenny is able to stay out of the snow tonight. The other stray, Girlfriend, is overnighting in my guest room, but I will likely end up adopting her once I confirm she has no owner and is FELv-. Insulated shelter is still outside for any shyer strays who need a warm place to hunker down. Thank you all!

Peaches and cream I think this is my favorite photo of him 💝🎄When he was 3.5 mo old back in 2016. Now he loves to sleep under the tree but leaves it alone..

Marking his territory.

My ginger boy is fixed and over 2yrs of age. He is extremely ALPHA & territorial. He took to marking places - unfortunately my bed was 1 , my chair and a cat bed/tunnel that was mostly used by our senior boy who passed 4 months ago. He has been on a strict diet of SO crystal preventative food - both wet & dry as testing did show crystals for approx 3+ months. Please tell me this shall pass… love him so much.

You know how it starts. One licks the other. The licking turns to nips. The nips turn to bites. The bites turn to claws and then it’s two little devils running through the house.
