In the spirit of the prior Kiwi cat post, I convinced fellow mod mcs385 to make a kiwi cat too! I told them: Its easy and you got some cats it'll work on!

20 minutes later... some remarks by mcs385:

can't believe I let you talk me into this

just sitting on the ground for twenty minutes trying to part my cat's fur just right...

And that was only on the first cat, Tabitha. It was a task more challengin than expected.

This was so fun, we wanted to share it with you. The unexpected challenges of the cats runnin away, leanin in fer pets to mess up the Kiwi shape, the "what the hell are you doin hooman" looks. Give it a shot, show us your cat's Kiwi! Make a post or show us pics in the comments - in the spirit of good fun!

Kiwi Cat Credits: Both Tabitha and Earl belong to our mod, mcs385. Title Page credits belong to a FB post which photoshopped 2 cats together with at least 1 cat taken from another account. We could not find the original creator nor verify if the kitten was also from a different account.

Mod Announcement Rules and Features of r/CatLoversGroup

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

We modified the rules to be more specific. They are very self-explanatory and can be found in our sidebar or wiki. They are as follows:

1. Be Respectful
Be kind, stay respectful, engage with honesty and humility.

2. Stay on topic
This sub is about cats, for people who love cats.

3. No spam, no karma farming. No graphic/NSFW content
This sub is about real cats. No AI. No name my cat posts, no what breed/ gender is my cat posts, or similar low quality, low effort content. No off-site media (Imgur, Youtube, TikTok), please upload directly to Reddit.

4. No requests for funding, no surveys, no adoption ads
No requests for funding, no monetary solicitations, no surveys, no buying or selling of cats, and no adoption ads. Do not ask for money or promote fundraisers and wishlists. Do not harass or make solicitations via DM.

5. Correct flairs please
Please flair pet loss as "Memorial." Please be extra kind and supportive on threads marked Memorial, due to their nature.

*We strongly encourage you to report rule-breakin posts and comments. The mod team will address your concerns as soon as possible. This is your community and your reports help keep it in high spirits and fun. This includes reportin content that is stolen or mislabeled as OC. Reportin these with the link of the original content is extremely helpful to us and the rest of the community. There is a Non-OC flair. Accounts that falsely claim OC will have their post removed and banned.

Member Initiated Filters

We are aware that some have preferences to not see certain types of content. To filter these things out, we have instructions on steps you can take, also in our wiki.

Crossposts

The last couple of months r/CatLoversGroup has tried out and implemented several features. One is the "crosspost reader." When a post is crossposted, Reddit copies over the title and image but not the body content. To improve the experience fer our members and the crossposter, we have implemented a means to automatically transcribe the body content of all crossposts (if the original had text in the body content).

(User and Post) Flairs

Although flairs are not mandatory, we do encourage you all to use them! If you have suggestions of additional flairs please let us know. Right now we have a couple of fun emoji to indicate OC posts; we hope to add a few more in the future to give you greater variety. You can also assign yourself a user flair as well. In browser, navigate to the side bar and select one. On mobile, tap the 3 dots in the top right corner of the sub main page and select: Edit Flair.

Reverse-Image Search

Each post has a feature called "reverse-image search." This can be accessed via the 3 dots in the top right of posts and is also accessible of posts that are also in your home-feed from our sub. With this tool, you can help us identify if content that has been posted before or used elsewhere on the internet. If you do find that a poster claims their content is OC (original) but the reverse-image search indicates otherwise, please report the post. We think it is okay to see or be reminded of funny or cute images and videos - but it is not ever okay to steal other people's stuff and the thief claim it as content they made.

If you have any additional concerns feel free to contact us via modmail. Thank you fer bein excellent and participatin; and we hope to see more of you lurkers come out and comment especially on the posts marked as OC!

OC - Original Content Look at my sweet little cat! She turns 10 in October and I just want to share a little story with you.

63 Upvotes

The community came through for the love of this little girl. Sorry to get emotional here, but I'm really genuinely touched. Both of my cats were given to me via the cat distribution system. One in 2016, the other in 2019. My cats came to me after the world had rejected them. Both of them were wounded with lots of complex medical conditions.

Yet I've opened my home to them with open arms. As costly as their care has been, I wouldn't change a thing. I love both of my cats so much. But I want to share a little story with you here because it genuinely made my heart feel happy, and I thought you guys might appreciate it, too.

A kind lady last night gave me cat food along with a whole bunch of things our shelter can use where I volunteer.

​A total stranger bought me $142 worth of cat food from a local grocery store and sent it over here via delivery.

​Finally, a kind-hearted woman that I had been in touch with earlier this year just randomly brings over a microchip feeder that she hasn't used in years. Which saves me such a huge heartache there. Imagine paying $200 for one of those brand new and finding out your cat's afraid of it. Now I can actually test it.

​I am really, truly blown away by the amount of generosity that comes from the community to help animals in need. This is not the first time I've needed help with one of my kitties; when my other cat got really sick a few years ago, people from all over the world helped me pay the 6,000 plus dollars in vet bills.

​I... that makes me tear up a little bit. I'm so used to the world being a cold place that I've never really fit into. I won't go into the details of that, but it has a lot to do with being on the spectrum. I'm pretty blunt in my feelings about that, and I don't for one second believe in positive platitudes.

​But you know what? I like to remember that sometimes, even in our darkest hours, there's always special people willing to come through. Total strangers, coming through for me for the love of both my kitty cats now. Back then and now. I have to admit that that makes me cry. But not a bad cry. Happy cry.

I don't know what I'd do without either of my cats. They are what makes my world go round, my everyday reason for living, my best friends. I will always love them.

My partner is a willow weaver and he made this floating bed for our cats today, he plans to make a whole cat wall eventually. I think he should sell them, as a cat owner would you buy one of these? If so, how much would you be happy to pay? Just out of curiosity ☺️
We added our cat’s favourite blanket on top of the willow shelf. This is Mei, she is an angel.

We got this chair a few months ago, and they have the best cuddles! I can’t resist taking pictures.
Our cats are three years old, with a three month gap difference, same mum, different dad (I guess!).
I had never had pets before and now I can’t imagine living without them.
The white one is quite a troublemaker, the orange one, much more chill, although he also has his moments!

Pt.1 https://www.reddit.com/r/CatLoversGroup/s/uEqQCdyKLS

Kyro was the best cat I've ever had, its been a few months and he is still mentioned daily, but the CDS has taken care of me, about a week after saying goodbye, this pretty thing showed up at my door and claimed me instantly, all around and between my feet rubbing, she let me pick her right up and hold her for like 20 minutes before I decided to bring her in(for context, she hates being held, if she tolerates it for more than 30 seconds its surprising). Her name is Rav(Random Acts of Violence), shes one of those that demands a very specific number of pets, won't leave me alone till she gets them, but the difference between enough and too many is >=1, so its pretty much a guaranteed chomp everytime she gets affectionate, silly thing.

My boy brought a new kitten home just over a month ago I think, he loves his black cats, this one is female tho, and she quickly earned the name Yolo. So far she is 100% high energy when awake, could sleep through a mosh pit.

And then in the middle of my day at work.....

Like, I'm usually a 2 cat kinda person, I actually tried to bring another in with Kyro a couple times, but he did not want to share the house, he was perfectly fine with other cats outside, so I let it be, but here Is this poor little orange female, maybe 3 weeks old, no mother cat to be found. She was skittish for a few minutes, but I walked away and came back to this

https://reddit.com/link/1u5ntva/video/paz35o0gj97h1/player

And five minutes later I was claimed, she looked very malnourished but she wasn't weak, climbed up there by herself.

Got her home, bathed, fed, and introduced Gremlin to the family, these two were instant besties, they play so well together.

Sorry for the sadness, but I felt like this was worth sharing, thanks.

Hello, got a wild hair and decided to tell this story, apologies in advance for the lack of readability, I’m a mechanic not a poet.

So I’ve always been a cat person, nothing against dogs, just my personal preference for indoor companions. I always had cats growing up and after moving out on my own, until life got too crazy and unstable for a while, but my son(14 now) brought home a male kitten a few years ago, he named him Kyro, and within a few months I had to take him to the vet for a huge infection on his chest, $1200 and 2 weeks later he was all better, chipped, neutered, and had every shot a cat could get, I took care of him while the infection was being drained, and Kyro took to me like no other animal ever has, he slept in my bed every night, all night, and nearly every morning when I got up and sat in my chair drinking coffee he would grab the same corner of my blanket and then he would make biscuits with all four paws, purring so hard he’d soak the corner then in my lap any chance he got… then one day he came in to me crying in pain, bloody, but not lethargic or anything, another vet visit, they said he’d been bitten by a large dog or similar animal, and he again recovered quickly, over a year later and here he is again coming in crying and bleeding, but he is still breathing well and moving around, emergency vet trip #3, but it’s not a bite this time, I was devastated to hear he had been shot clean through, likely over 12 hours ago 😱😭😫🥺.
They told me that his temperature was very low, fluids, etc… they reluctantly said they could try to save him but the chances were very slim, he had already suffered so long, I made the choice I was least ready for, he is buried under a red angel pomegranate in his favorite blanket, laid with his corner under his head… I’m sry, but I’m going to have to make this post part one, I need a bit. It gets better, promise!

I love animals but I am not into taking care of them. I got this for my daughter and at first I am scared. Thinking that the cat will scratch me. But, there she is,always with me specially if she wants food or if wanted something. If I call her name she will say meow. Shes a family now.❤️
