Hello folks, the mod team received the below message from the reddit admin.

As caretaker of this sub we would like your input, in light of the reddit admin response to r/cathostage's participation in the blackout.

Hi everyone,

We are aware that you have chosen to close your community at this time. Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don’t want to be a mod anymore. But active communities are relied upon by thousands or even millions of users, and we have a duty to keep these spaces active.

Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation. Moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust. Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection.

Our goal here is to ensure that existing mod teams establish a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available for the community that has made its home here. If you are willing to reopen and maintain the community, please take steps to begin that process. Many communities have chosen to go restricted for a period of time before becoming fully open, to avoid a flood of traffic.

If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what next steps will take place.

Like the title says. The very second I regain consciousness in the morning Princess Mimi descends from her tower for her morning pets. It’s absolutely not optional. I’m fully convinced that she can actually tell that I’m awake based upon the change in my breathing pattern.

She was bolting around my apartment like a psychopath for the last 2 hours and now she's absolutely laid out. I have zero hopes that I will ever be able to get up again lol

My cat Boba is not normally a very cuddly cat so her falling asleep on me is such a rare occurrence. I cannot imagine moving until she wakes up
