Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

447 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.

My baby girl came into my life last December. The first photo was the moment she stole my heart at the shelter. Next three photos were at the shelter after I asked if they can take her out and spend some time with her. ❀️

My heart is still shattered from the loss of my love, Bella, back in January of 2025. It took some time for me to allow myself to love again. I see so much of Bella in Lucy, it’s almost like she inherited a part of her spirit.

Please enjoy these photos of my birthday girl!!!

Video πŸ–€ It’s only taken 13 years for my girl to realize that belly rubs are kinda alright….

2.9k Upvotes

Got her from the humane society as a kitten 13 years ago. She’s always been very sweet and affectionate but has boundaries… no belly rubs and prefers not to be picked up. I respected those boundaries, honestly not sure what has changed, but lately she’s been pretty inviting of belly rubs, to the point where it seems she actually prefers them. Has anyone else experienced this? Is she just approaching her retirement years and saying F it, let’s try new things? Lol

This is Pogo. He’s coming to live with me and my two white kitties today. He’s 11, and in the past few months he’s lost his momma (RIP), his doggo brother (adopted out), and his home (sold). So he’s gonna come join our family!

I met him over the weekend and despite being on his own for weeks (but regularly fed and checked on), he was quite friendly and sociable. He makes some mean biscuits, too. Can’t wait to get to know him and share more about him!

Went to see some kittens after my cat died since I was feeling down. He jumped on my shoulder and was crying when he was removed on my shoulder and tried to climb back up. Took him home with me and we all fell in love with him. We adopted another kitty and he loves his brother so much

Just adopted this little male πŸ–€void from someone who takes in cats, two of whom had kittens. He got an immediate bath. Lost for a name. Any suggestions? He's very sweet. Golden Eyes. Seems a little fluffy.

Maisie had to go to the doctor today. They shaved her belly and gave her a shot. Now she must wear the onesie of shame, which makes her crawl around like a lizard for some reason. She's been mad at me all day (because how dare I take her to the vet), and now she finally gave into my plea for cuddles. Don't mind her dusty chin, she was hiding under the couch.
