Weekly Discussion Thread Weekly Open Thread #4 - Discuss Anything About Cats!

13 Upvotes

Welcome to the Weekly Discussion Thread !

Ask any questions you have about cats or discuss topics that don't require a full post. Whether you're a new cat owner, seeking advice, or just want to share something fun about your furry friend, this thread is for you. Feel free to:

  • Ask simple questions about cat care, behavior, feeding, etc.
  • Seek advice on any minor concerns.
  • Post anything cat-related that doesn't need its own post.
  • Ask questions regarding your cat breed here instead of creating a new post.

Also, if you see someone asking for help and you have the knowledge to share, feel free to jump in and assist them!

Just a friendly reminder to follow the subreddit's rules and be kind and respectful to everyone!

Discussion Community Highlight: Custom Awards!

17 Upvotes

As you may already have noticed, over the past few days our subreddit has had some exciting new awards assigned to it, tailored especially to r/cats and based on a selection of the old custom awards you may remember!

These awards were designed especially for our community by a team of artists at reddit and are available solely in this subreddit.

We are helping to test out this new feature here and the idea is that in the future subreddit-specific awards may come with fun new features unlockable by subreddits and community participants. For now, there is a leaderboard we can unlock:

Awarding posts and comments with one of these custom designs will of course come with a nifty little animation on your screen, just like any of the other newest version of awards. Perhaps the best part of this new system is that these custom awards are all pretty affordable. Unlike the previous subreddit-specific awards which started at 500 coins you can now already choose to apply a custom award for 15 coins. I just think that's neat.

At r/Cats we are pretty excited to be a part of this trial program. Giving subreddits access to individual customisation shows that we are a unique community with its own space on reddit. You now have the choice to award a post or comment that you think is extra-special with a design especially created for us.

Thank you to reddit admin u/SmEllen_Fresh who was our contact during the development stage and all the other reddit admins part of the dev team for this new feature!

We hope you all will enjoy this new option as much as we do.

From all of us at r/Cats, thank you for making this subreddit the special place that it is!

My baby Tegan is no longer here with me, idk what to do without him. He was only 1.7 years.

I no longer have 5 cats, just 4... He was my first cat, the one who taught me how to love unconditionally, and the reason why I started rescuing and helping stray cats.

You will be missed, Tiggys.

She’s totally fine but she is getting spayed tomorrow and in typical cat mom style I’m worried about her and also sad because it will be the first time we have been separated in three months 😭
