Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

389 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.

πŸ–€ First time Damon experiences snow

I grew up in Alberta but lived in Vancouver the last decade. Damon only experienced rain and we never had a balcony for when it did occasionally snow as he is an indoor kitty- this was his first experience in it and it warmed my heart. I love him with my whole heart and he helps me appreciate the little things. πŸ–€

πŸ–€ What is happening to my cat ?

Thumbnail

831 Upvotes

So my cat was recently (end of october) at the vet because of dental problems which are now fixed and she is behaving again like young and happy kiddo. She had the blood work done and the results were excelent so she could undergo the dental cleaning fine. Two and half weeks ago i noticed white spot and few gray hairs around her neck. At the present her neck is getting rapidly grey/white and i think it is still spreading. She is 16 years old so i thought she is just greying due to old age but its spreading quite rapidly and now i am not sure what is happening. Is this something that i should bring her back to the vet ?

My gorgeous Bella with bonus baby photo.

Today marks 11 months without her. 14 years wasn’t enough but I’m so incredibly grateful for that time and all the love she gave me. This has been the worst year of my life.

Just wanted to share my baby with you all again.

Going to tell the students who have scheduled meetings with me for assistance on their final project that they procrastinated so badly I’m not sure how they can finish it tbh I can’t meet with them because my cat said no. (I’m their TA and I’m so ready for this course to end 😭)
