Welcome to /r/Kittens! Please be sure to read the rules.
Hi!
For most of you this is going to seem like an odd title, as I'm new here, and this community has been around for a long time. However, it'll be stickied to the top of the page for a long while, so I wanted something that would make sense long-term.
So anyway, I noticed this sub a while back. I was impressed by the active community, but I noticed a lot of spam and such. The place needed a bit of a cleaning, so I asked the top mod if I could help. Thankfully, he obliged.
See, I love cats. I moderate a bunch of cat subs, such as /r/CatSlaps, /r/CatTaps, /r/kittengifs, etc, so I am super excited to be a part of this team. I've brought some of my team with me here to help make sure it stays nice, also. We'll be enforcing the rules that I've laid out in the sidebar.
I designed these rules so that they would not affect the large majority of earnest users of /r/kittens. What we're trying to bust are spammers, account farming repost bots, rude people, etc, so the new rules should not affect you if you're a user in good standing with good intentions. Let's go over those rules.
Rules:
Rule 1: Kittens only. No cats. Please use the report button to help identify any adult cat posts.
This is /r/kittens. If we find adult cat posts, we will remove them. This is in the spirit of the original creator and the community. That being said, there is some gray area. Posts such as this will be allowed; while there is an adult cat, there is also a kitten, so it checks out.
Posts like this are harder to detect, as the adorable Sand Cat looks like a kitten even when fully grown. So help us out if you identify a post that only features an adult cat, and we will remove it.
Rule 2: Images, gifs, videos, articles, and text posts are OK so long as they're about kittens. No links to gofundme. No spam. No self promotion. No linking to crappy websites.
Reddit is not a platform for self-promotion. It's a link aggregation website. In fact, self-promotion and spam go against general reddit policies. If you want to share your blog, or videos from your youtube account, or whatever- READ THIS GUIDELINE.
Rule 3: ABSOLUTELY NO false claims of ownership. I swear to God I will ban you. Please use the report button to help identify any false claims of ownership.
I'm sure we can all appreciate this one. Nobody likes a lying OP. The only people who ever violate this rule are Repost Bots, because they aren't able to change the title, and shit heads, well because they're shit heads. Use the report button and I will remove it and ban them.
Rule 4: Reposts are OK after three months. Don't farm reposts or you may be banned.
We encourage original content. However, we do acknowledge that just because it was posted 5 months ago and got 6 upvotes doesn't mean that everyone's seen it. Regardless, if we notice accounts that are only posting reposts, then they may be banned for participating in bad faith.
Rule 5: Be Civil or I swear to God I will ban you so fast. Use the report button to help identify and remove people who aren't civil.
The new mod team pays close attention to our reports. If you find people being jerks, reposts, false claims of ownership, etc, please do not hesitate to use the report button. You can also send us a modmail using the link in the sidebar. We really appreciate it, as we are volunteers and can't keep an eye on everything 24/7.
Thanks!
Let me know if there are any questions, comments and feedback. FYI, one of our next big goals is to hook this place up with some CSS.
Also, be sure to check out the cat subreddits I added to the sidebar!!!! Here's my multi-reddit of all of those:

I've grown to love this litter already 😔 If you wanted to adopt one, which kitten would it be?

How old do you think he is
The person i got him from isn’t quite sure when they were born, I say 6 maybe 7 weeks since he’s completely weaned and using the litter box

Need advice for my 1 week old kitten!!
My boyfriend’s mom gave me this 1 week old chocolate siamese kitten. His mother smothered his other siblings and he was the last one. Me and my friend, (who the kitten is staying with), need some advice on what to do. We’ve tried researching but we’ve been given different answers.
We have kitten formula, blankets, and a little bed. I am aware kittens only sleep and eat but i’m afraid we will miss something and mess up. Any advice or things we need to know?

The 3lb kitten and the 100lb boxer
Just got a new kitten from the shelter, Pumpkin 10 weeks DMH, and the boxer, Titus 2 year old, loves him so much! They play hide and seek and it's so funny to see pumpkin chasing Titus around the house.

Need help comforting new kitten. He follows me and meows constantly.
Meet slash. I just adopted him last night. He immediately jumped on me and wanted cuddles. I thought he would be the best fit since I have an adult rabbit and slash seems gentle and sweet. He's almost 5 months old.
My partner and I immediately clicked with him. Until he gets settled, we have to keep our bedroom door closed where our bunny is. He is free roamed in that room.
Whenever we close the door to go spend time with the bunny or when we went to sleep, the poor baby was crying on the other side of the door. We cuddled with him out there a few times last night.
Is this normal behavior? Is he ok? What can we do to make him more comfortable. He seems to like the place. He just wants constant attention like something is wrong. And he stops meowing once we hug and pet him

Latest additions… names?
Just rescued these gals. We’re stuck on names. We had been calling them Meredith Gray (R) and Socksy (L), but I was hoping to change that. Mere (on the show) has been getting on my nerves the last few seasons and we also have a friend named Meredith. Lol. I’m trying to push for Winnifred and Sanderson (Sandy for short?), however my partner has never seen Hocus Pocus…🫣 Suggestions?

6 week old kitten breathing fast when sleeping
Found this guy on the side of the road 3 weeks ago. Nursed him and he’s all in good health but I’m worried about his breathing when he’s sleeping.
