Losing a pet is incredibly tough and we want to have a space for our fellow Torbie's that have crossed over. 🌈

This megathread is so members can choose to see these types of posts if they desire.

To keep our main feed focused on happy moments while still honoring our Torbie babies, please post all pet loss, memorial, and grief posts in this thread.

Sincere love πŸ’• to all of the pets and their families who cherish them. They will never be forgotten. πŸ•―οΈ

Community avatar 'Photo of the Month'!

14 Upvotes

We’re launching a "Photo of the Month" for our community avatar!

First:

The new banner is officially live! Thank you to everyone who contributed. I’ll be making some final adjustments and adding an index soon. This will let you view the banner in high resolution so you can easily spot your own submissions. Also, let me know if you don't like the banner or would like something changed on it.

**On a different note

Starting soon, our subreddit icon will feature a new torbie every single month.

**How it works:

The monthly avatar (icon) spot goes to the user with the most engagement on the sub, which includes both your posts and comments. So October's winner will be September's photo of the month and so on.
**The photo will also be featured in the sidebar. If you are on mobile you will click the sub name (r/torbie) at the top next to the icon.

**Choosing the winner:

Once the top contributor is determined, we will message you to send in the photo of your choice!

Finally:

Just like with the banner, I want all of you to be the true face of r/Torbie. This community has been going strong since 2019β€”long before I became a mod. You are the heart of this sub, and I want our community spaces to reflect that! Also once I change the banner to fit more of the screen, I will include new users' photos. So periodically I will ask for more photos to update the banner!

Banner is in the comments, sticky posted!

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please comment below! We'd love to hear them!

Go Torbies!! πŸ™ŒπŸ“£πŸŽ‰

No grief, mourning, pet loss, or rainbow bridge posts in r/Torbie

221 Upvotes

From what I’ve seen, this community has always stayed away from "rest in peace" posts except for a few here and there. The majority of you voted to keep it that way.

We all know how incredibly tough it is to lose a pet, and we completely sympathize with anyone going through it.

At the same time, we want everyone to have control over whether or not they see that kind of heavy content on their feed. To compromise, we’re going to set up a dedicated megathread where you can share those memories and get support, so we can keep the main page focused on happy moments.

Old posts will not be removed. This rule will be enforced as of today.

Thank you !

I got her in August! She is my first ever cat and my first pet that is just mine to take care of, she is an ESA too. She is very talkative and mischievous (she tore up a sponge earlier today and gave me a heart attack calling 3 different vet offices), she’s the best!

Am I a Torbie? πŸ–€ 🧑 Is my new rescue kitten a torbie?

Found this sweet angel in my neighborhood cat colony, she was moving really slow and let me pick her up, which is when I saw her eye was really infected. After some antibiotics and LOTS of food it seems I have a very cuddly, non-stop purring, curious little addition to my household.

I believe she is about 6 weeks? I’ve never seen a coat like this! The rest of her litter includes a tuxedo and a ginger, and her mom may be a dilute tortoiseshell I’ve seen prowling around the feeder.

She was instantly affectionate and confident. I haven’t decided on a name yet, but I live in the Sierra Nevada so I was thinking Manzanita 🀎🧑

I managed to get her to wear her costume for almost a full hour (motivated by lots of pets/scratches/treats). Her brother, Goji, still refuses to wear his costume. Eh, perhaps next year...

Most of her red patches are covered by the costume, but she has a little orange dot on her forehead.

This girl rules our home (and our hearts). Also, is anyone else obsessed with highly committed to capturing their torbie’s unique coloring in photos? Or am I alone in having WAY too many photos on my phone?

I love her spotted belly. She used to be all grey and silver as a kitten but has gotten more and more tawny spots in her coat as she's grown
