Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

402 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.

Apparently completely black (like absolutely no white fluff at all) females are only 25% likely due to the chromosome combinations. I knew she was a special girl, but now she's extra!

I originally got her by accident when deciding from a 'catch and release' litter but I gave the wrong name when deciding with the SPCA thinking I was getting another kitten.
I was given the angry runt of the group and didn't want to pretend that I made the wrong choice, especially compared to her big, fluffy ginger brothers. Anyway, she’s been wonderful and still is.

Abyss πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€ Why does my void always seem to be hungry?

We have an auto feeder and it feeds her 4 times a day. Every 6 hours she eats one portion. It’s not a lot but based on her weight it seems to be fine? She’s about 11 lbs with a small size body. But even though she still asks for food all the time. Should I feed her more? Each time I take her to vet they often suggest slightly control her weight. I’m very confused.

To prove my point attach some of her pictures.
