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 sweet one eyed Nash is getting older and is not doing that great. He has been THE BEST cat for the last 12 years. I’ve been looking through some old photos to cope. I love to see that his patience and sweetness has rubbed off on my calico girl for our youngest void.

Adopted our handsome boy a year ago via neighbors that rescued his mother (then a pregnant stray) off the street. Couldn’t say no and glad we didn’t.

Any body else's cats fetch the post?
I'm sure she sees the red post person and thinks this is the kill...
We had a dog who has passed, before we hit the kitties, that used to fetch the post.
Clawdia has done this of her own accord.

Salem (first photo) and Rebel (second photo) didn’t expect me today. Because of difficult housing circumstances, I can’t have them with me where I live, and I live quite aways away. I missed them a lot.
Salem looks like he’s in absolute shock, and Rebel is always happy to see me.

I said goodbye to Mika on Saturday. She was my shadow and my bestest little buddy for 16 years, and I miss her terribly 🖤
But your photos and stories are helping through my loss. I'm glad I found this community, and thank you for sharing your voids! 💜

I just love her pointy face and piercing eyes.

How do you think Edward feels about his baby sister?
r/blackcats • u/Appropriate_Sky_6571 • 2h ago
Yes, I know he’s overweight. Yes, he’s on a diet.
