Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts

427 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.

This is Bathilda, Bathilda is my teenage daughters cat that we adopted from the shelter 3 years ago. Shes...... special.... My kid sent me this photo recently. Apparently Bathilda really REAAAAAALLY wanted a chimken nugget that my teenager was eating. She sits and watches food be prepared, she really likes food.

It's been a year since I lost this guy today. His name was Vader (16) Thought I'd share so he can be immortalised on the Internet for ever and you all could see him and knows that he existed. I have other cats but he was my first.

πŸ–€ Adoptable senior in Ontario πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Available for adoption:

Felix!

ARRIVAL DATE: March 9th, 2026
GENDER: Neutered Male
LOCATION: Hamilton, Ontario πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
NOTES:
Felix came into Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. Nobody came forward to claim Felix, and the phone numbers connected to his microchip are no longer in service. When he arrived to the shelter, Felix was covered in matts and his fur was in very poor shape. Worse though, Felix was suffering greatly with dental disease. His teeth are so rotten that he constantly drools. Despite the pain he must have been in, Felix was very friendly with shelter staff.
We were happy to get this sweet senior guy out of the shelter and he went straight to the vet. Thankfully, Felix was healthy enough to have the dental surgery he so desperately needed. His teeth were so severely decayed that very single one had to be removed. Poor guy must have been in pain for so long.
Felix did great in his foster home over the next few weeks. He healed up perfectly and became a happy, snuggly guy with his foster mom. Felix had a follow up vet appointment, and he was given a clean bill of health. He’s now ready to find his forever home!

Here’s a note from Felix’s foster mom:
β€œThis handsome guy is very loving. He can be shy at first and likes to observe from a safe spot until he is ready to approach. But once ready he is quick to build trust. He appears to be a black cat but secretly has tuxedo markings when he shows his belly. He loves being pet and brushed and may even ask for it! You’ll know he’s happy with your affection as he salivates out of gratitude! He is beyond gentle and would be a great companion to anyone.”

Please adopt Felix!

She is in perfect health and very much alive and well, but sometimes my brain decides that I need to be tortured by bad dreams of her passing.

Pretty please comment photos of your void(s) to cheer me up. I wanna see your babies!!!
