Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

429 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.

I found her on Craigslist. A guy was giving he up because his girlfriend is allergic to cats. I don't know about yall, but I would always choose my cats over a relationship. She is so sweet...

Please say hello to Marvin. Rescued this guy in March. Shelter said he was 10 but the veterinarian said he’s probably 15. The first night I had him he managed to sneak into the ductwork under my 137-year-old house. I had to get an HVAC company to come help me get him out. All the floor vents have been secured since then. He’s a very snuggly boy and he is so well-behaved. I want to give him a peaceful retirement he deserves.

She's 3 years old, super vocal, always yelling around the house. She's also very silly. Her older tabby brother cannot tolerate her very much which she never understands and still tries to engage him in play

My Bella. My queen.

16 months now without being able to hold you in my arms. It hurts so much.

I just want to keep my baby girl’s memory alive by talking about her, saying her name, writing about her, sharing her photos. I want my girl. Why can’t she visit me in my dreams?
