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.

Chione was just spayed so she’s been confined to my room for the next weekish. Keeping her calm & safe has been a chore & it doesn’t help that she can hear her 2 bengal brothers playing in the rest of the house, but she sure is cute.

Whenever I'm on the couch, that's his "invitation" to nap on my lap. At night, like the last picture, he stretches out

(The bedroom got converted into a cat room for 3 voids I brought in)

What he lacks in politeness, he makes up for in warmth.

His look

I seriously can't tell if he's giving me a look because I moved my leg, which he grabbed, or because I took a picture of him.

She’s sitting on my foot so I can’t get up
