Mod announcement r/catswhocrochet new rule. Ban on photos of cats forced to pose in cruel ways (e.g. with yarn labels tightly wrapped around them)

223 Upvotes

On r/catswhocrochet we have noticed a recent trend of people posting photos of cats that look uncomfortable with yarn labels wrapped around their bellies or necks.

The cats have obviously not climbed into those yarn labels themselves, but have had the labels wrapped around them by their owners for a staged photo.

In some of the photos, the yarn labels are very tightly wrapped around the cats.

Making your cats experience irritation or discomfort or restricting their airway or freedom of movement because you think it looks "cute" or "funny" to wrap a yarn label around them is not kind or loving.

We have therefore added a new rule: "no photos of cats forced to pose in cruel ways (e.g. with yarn labels tightly wrapped around them)."

The new rule is effective immediately.

From now on, any posts like that will be removed and the OP may be banned.

If you see any more posts in future with photos of cats being forced to pose in cruel ways looking uncomfortable, please use the report button to let the mod team know, and we will remove the posts.

Please take the time to read our full rules:

Now please go and treat your cats kindly and treasure them. Please let's all be kind to animals. Thank you! :)

Albus gets really clingy when I'm flaring and stays on me as if to make me rest.

Cat helping hooman Soapy helping mom

My $25 shelter cat loves to sit on my projects as I work on them. Today's project is an alpine stitch scarf. We've had Soapy for 5 years now and he's just as rambunctious, violent, and adorable as the first day we got his feral butt. He stalks me down the hallway and bites me, he randomly freaks out and attacks my arms. He gets calmed down by my crochet and snuggles up with me. It's one of the few times I can pet him without fear. Love my little monster. ♥️

I have been finding my projects relocated recently. The string of thefts happens to coincide with our recent acquisition of a new cat a couple months ago.

This morning she found a Mary figurine I was making for a Nativity creche set and was carrying it all over the house meowing triumphantly.

The last picture is everything she has stolen from my craft room in the past WEEK!

I would be more upset if these were active projects, but the kitty is so proud of herself that I can't be too angry.
