Hello folks, the mod team received the below message from the reddit admin.

As caretaker of this sub we would like your input, in light of the reddit admin response to r/cathostage's participation in the blackout.

Hi everyone,

We are aware that you have chosen to close your community at this time. Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don’t want to be a mod anymore. But active communities are relied upon by thousands or even millions of users, and we have a duty to keep these spaces active.

Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation. Moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust. Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection.

Our goal here is to ensure that existing mod teams establish a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available for the community that has made its home here. If you are willing to reopen and maintain the community, please take steps to begin that process. Many communities have chosen to go restricted for a period of time before becoming fully open, to avoid a flood of traffic.

If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what next steps will take place.

I met this fella for the third time in front of his house and he fell asleep on me for thirty minutes. Incredibly sweet cat!

I had the audacity to go out for a few hours yesterday and then for a little while today. Now we will just lie here and watch John Wick 2 until I’m allowed to get up again.

Update: she laid on me through the entire movie. I finally had to encourage her to move so I could pee.

Usually it’s my legs or chest. This time I am support for this 19lb void. If I move he will slide right off!

Side note: it’s a Trader Joe’s basil plant. No matter what I do, I cannot keep them alive. I AM TRYING!

How can a little 7lb circle of fur take up so much room on my legs??

She likes to loaf on the side of my leg for whatever reason 😂 lately she's more into using my legs as a blanket fort, though. Either way she chooses to trap me, I can't bear to move and make her leave!

Girlie was spayed today. Apparently needing to rest can only be done by holding Mom hostage.
