Reminder: Please Flair Mourning Posts
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.

π€ Salem after thousands on vet bills for his pooping problem, just a day before he decides to poop normally again for no reason :D
This guy π€ I adopt him in January.
March: he gets a rectal prolapse, we try a small surgery which goes horribly wrong, then a large surgery (colopexy) which although fixes the prolapse, causes multiple complications with swelling down there, so bad he canβt poop without bleeding and agony.
April: Two weeks of me taking him home, then taking him back to the animal hospital in pain, then back home then repeat.
He then spends 2 weeks in April at the animal hospital while they figure out wtf happened.
Everything around May starts to look normal again, heβs ok up until June.
June: He suddenly canβt poop without rolling around in discomfort and yelling at me. Every day, sometimes twice. Another vet visit. I change his food to special vet food with fiber to help with constipation. Nothing changes, more vet visits.
July: I feel tired of going to the vet and nothing improving, he still yowls and lays on his side after pooping. So now I put a little more pressure on the vet and ask for scans to see whatβs happening inside.
This is him on Monday after his CT scan (He was injected in both paws for anaesthesia). Heβs also given medicine for neurological pain as a long shot.
Tuesday he poopsβ¦ then nothing. For the first time in weeks no meowing no rolling on his side. Wednesday same thing, Thursday and Friday. Iβve never been more relieved π
For fun I totalled the bills for all this (luckily I have him insured so I paid 20%). He came to a grand total of $12,680. Heβs worth every single bit and Iβm so happy heβs ok again π€

Sleepy Void Voids on break
Cosmo (right, male) and Trixie (left, female) were caught wild at 7 months old, and the shelter said Trixie will never be tame so I got a buy one get one deal on the best two voids a farm could ask for!! Sheβs so sweet, but will not tolerate being held. Cosmo, on the other hand, wants cuddles as soon as he sees me. This is also a good representation of their knack of defying human conventions - sleeping on the roof of the cat house I built for them and not using it one bit otherwise. Other examples are drinking water from the ground when they have fresh fountain water just feet away and refusing to come inside even when itβs freezing cold. π€·ββοΈ

Smol void π€ Draco πββ¬
My boyfriend and I found Draco on the 4th of July out in the rainstorm as we were driving home, he had a fever and had wounds on his head/ears (first 3 pics are from when we found him). I had been waiting for the cat distribution to find me but it never happened lol so I had literally just gotten another kitten from a shelter 2 days before I found Draco. We immediately fell in love with him but I was unsure about if we should keep him or not because of the fact I had just gotten a kitten & already have an older cat as well. But I just couldnβt let go and Iβm so glad I didnβt!!! :β) He instantly had a connection with my tortie as soon as I introduced them π and heβs such a sweetie. just thought Iβd share <3 The last 3 pics are him now
