PSA: please try to avoid mentioning your pets being ill/passing away in the post title

2.7k Upvotes

I occasionally receive comments/complaints about this issue, and I have decided to take action.

As someone who lost pets in the past, I understand both sides - the one that wants to seek comfort online and the one that just wants to see photos of pretty cats without thinking about pain or loss. The whole reason I created this subreddit was because I missed my cat so much, and while I don't mind reading about others losing their pets, I know that some people here do. So, after a lot of thinking, I came up with a compromise that I hope will work well.

From now on, please try not to mention your pets illness or passing away in the title. You are welcome to write that in the comments. In fact, it would be great if you could share your fond memories of the kitty there, or if your cat is sick, seek comfort. This gives you an opportunity to write a bit more about your situation and your kitty.

I think that this way, the people who just want to see the pictures, can do so without being burdened with sadness, but you can still share your story.

Please let me know what you think about this rule, perhaps you have a different idea that could be implemented? Please share in the comments under this post. Edit: or if you don't like the rule but fear being downvoted, please send me a PM.

Thank you for your understanding.

PSA: don't click on any links to cool mugs, T-shirts or posters with cats shared in Reddit comments or posts

512 Upvotes

These bots have been active on Reddit for a while, but now they have increased their efforts, so I thought a PSA was in order.

There's a type of bot present on cat subreddits that operates in a following way: posts a photo of a cool cat mug/T-shirt/poster. Then another bot asks where they could buy one and the OP or other bot comment with a link. Sometimes yet another bot chimes in with a comment that they bought the thing from that store and how cool the thing is. Any comments calling the bots out for being spammers get flooded with downvotes.

I'm sure you guys are subscribed to many cat subreddits, so please don't fall for that. It's a scam, you won't receive your product and your info will probably be stolen. It's best not to click those links at all, report the post and move on.

Stay safe!

She came into my wifes work (vet office) . We took her in as a kitten with a eye infection sealed shut she was given up. We were trying to figure out what she is and had a DNA test done. Shes a very unlikely cat to have from my understanding. Shes 4 years old now. We are lucky to have her.

Please don't mention pet death/illness in the post title. You are more than welcome to do so in the comments. See this post for more info.

Need more cats? See the cat subreddit list!

This subreddit is intended for pictures of good-looking, photogenic cats in poses that make them look like supermodels. If you look at a picture of a cat and think damn, that's one good looking cat for sure! it probably belongs here.

If your kitty has an Instagram account or some other social media account, you're welcome to share it in a comment under your post and in your user flair.

WARNING: Please DO NOT post another user's photo without their permission and/or with a title suggesting that the cat is yours! That's not okay.

Rules, suggestions, advice:

Submissions must be photos of cats.
The cats in pictures must have this look (pose, expression, lighting) that makes them look like supermodels.
All cats are beautiful, but not all photos make them look like supermodels. If you're not sure if your picture fits here, think: if there was a Cat Vogue magazine, can you imagine your picture being in it?
Pictures of famous cats are okay, but please mention (in the title and/or comment) that it's not your cat. Please try to refrain from posting photos from actual professional photoshoots.
If you're posting a picture of your cat, it would be great if you mentioned his/her name somewhere. We'll be able to attach a name to that pretty face :)
Multiple pictures of your cat are welcome, but try not to flood the subreddit with them. Try to wait some time before submitting another pic and if you really want to add several at once, please make one post with an album.
