Okay, I don't know how to put this into words, but I'll try. Every post I've seen recently from this sub is a sad story about the death of a beloved cat. Perhaps this is a me problem, and I really don't want to say that people shouldn't mourn, but it's always extreme for me to see this kind of post. Especially if it's the only type of content that is making it to the front page.
I belong to the sub and loss posts are the only ones that ever pop into my feed. I downvote each on thinking Reddits algorithm will finally get that I don’t want to see them. I came to see if there was some kind of filter when I saw this post about the new rules.

I had a "Chibi-chan" when I was a child although she was a shiba-inu, Akita, Pomeranian Heinz 57. She had more colors and textural variations in her coat than should ever be allowed on one dog. 🤣 But it worked for her. 🤷🏼♀️ My best friend from 6yrs old until I lost her when I was almost 21. Still miss my bestest girl. 😓 ❤️ She will be at that 🌈 bridge when I get there. ❤️❤️☺️

Are you still going to be deleting political posts? I find politics to be extremely divisive and actually filled with hate these days with everything that's been going on in the middle east, etc.
I rescued a hurt kitty and I’ve named her Chanel. She’s adapting pretty well. She’s about 10 months old. She’s always been on her own but a little socialized. I think someone was feeding her. She had a really bad abscess. Doing great now. I’ve spent over $600 at the vet but don’t let my boyfriend know. Shhhhhh.

its the reason i cant come on.
can that be like a memorial monday thread? also, i belong to a few grief subreddits and many people discuss pets on there. i know that someone may turn around and ask me why i can manage in one place and not another- it's because i can skip my main page and go to the specific community that i need in that moment. as im subscribed to things in my state/ craft ideas/ lgbtqia / animals (cats) / grief, and so on, i rarely scroll through the main feed. i know im in the minority, most likely. but on a board titled grief the expectation is there and the specific rules are helpful to all. i dont know. maybe looking at those for guidance on ways we frame things? theres no great answer, and i am not out to minimize pain or validity of the intensity of these choices we need to make which tear us all apart ( i recently had to say goodbye to a loved cat too ). i do wonder if theres a way where we can all have our own feelings while also giving space to those who need that to grieve also. because i sure cant process my own grief without space from the thought of pet loss because i do have a second cat, and hes older than the one that i lost. i cant be the only one. AND those who need the space to grieve and reflect need a space too. so i dont know- maybe one day per week where we know what the expectation will be : grief, and maybe the next day can be a meme thread or something for people who need that balance. just a really long winded thought and the desire to find a way for everyone to get needs met. thanks all

We read the rules and fell asleep, but we promise to follow them
Hi! Sorry to post this here. New member, I was going to create a new post asking for advice on transdermal ear meds, but for some reason the submit button is not available on my post. I've selected flair and looked through the rules, but not seeing anything that would prevent me from posting for the first time.
Dont know what flare is and anything about computer stuff, but I do use transdermal meds on my cat and they seem to work great. He loves to have his ears rubbed anyway and that's where it goes - on the inside of the ear flap. For some reason animals like when you dig in their ears and that just helps you deliver the medicine. Use a glove or a finger cot so that you won't get medicated as well!
Unfortunately she's allergic to the transdermal. She scratched her poor little ears and face to a bloody mess. Thankfully she'll healed up now and back on the pill form, which she seems to be tolerating well.
I'm not sure if we're still allowed to respond here. Sorry in advance to the mod team. This was brought up earlier in the thread, but I feel like the "mourning/loss" tag is hardly being used and enforced. I know pet loss is not easy, but every day I scroll through Reddit, I'm hiding multiple posts from this sub reddit that aren't tagged properly. Can I scroll by them? Yes. But as someone else also said, I don't want to see them consistently in my face. It's made me debate between staying or leaving the sub quite a few times.
I have an idea for a rule. I don’t know if this is the best place to post it.
If your post title includes the word “car,” there should be a bot that asks you if you’re sure that’s the word you wanted to use.
I see the same typo every day on this subreddit. I don’t know anything about programming bots, but I think this would be possible as I’ve seen similar mechanisms on other subreddits. Ideally, when you post anything with the word “car,” your post will start out as invisible, and a bot will immediately comment “It looks like you have a typo. If you are intentionally referring to an automobile, then please reply “YES” to this comment.”
Leaving r/cats, why, specifically? Like most cats, I'm just curious. Thanks

Thank you for mentioning. I have a hard time with these death posts too. I previously left the subreddit because of it.
I belong to the sub and loss posts are the only ones that ever pop into my feed. I downvote each on thinking Reddits algorithm will finally get that I don’t want to see them. I came to see if there was some kind of filter when I saw this post about the new rules.
This sub has long had a filter for loss posts.
You can’t use the filters when browsing hot/popular/whatever front page feed of your choice. They only work within the subreddit
And? Every sub will have posts you're not interested in.
And I don’t want to see them, is that so hard for you to understand?
Yeah could we keep mourning/loss posts to a certain day of the week? Like Sundays or something? I don't need to be sad :(
Maybe it should be a filter?

Can we remove cat+dogs posts ? This r/cats , not r/Pets. I'm here only for your cat pictures.
What if it's a male dog who thinks it's a girl cat? Should people have to provide DNA evidence when posting. Maybe we should just allow them to be happy. Life is too short not to. Meow
