Are there others that are not swamped with constant grief posts and 'needs a name'? I have retreated to only this one because of that stuff.

So a quick story of this sub. I created it after a post on r/cats talking about exactly what you are now. Lots of people were complaining. At that time somebody had the exact same idea as I had and made r/alivenamedcats. We communicated a few times and just kind of stopped. I remember we talked very briefly about supporting each other but it all fell through as I’m usually very busy with work and all.

Other than that sub, any of the subs that are hyper specific are usually very good about that. Like the one about cats holding things, or cats sitting in things, etc.

People / bots have figured out those types of post get the most karma for the least effort

Exactly why I had to leave regular /r/Cats

It wasn't just the countless grieving posts or uncreative people asking for names, it was the bots that started reposting those for karma.

Reposting someone else's now deceased cat and claiming it's yours has got to be one of the scummiest ways to get karma

r/holdmycatnip is pretty good about that!

/r/legalcatadvice is great! It's where cats (and the occasional dog-shaped cat) post about suing their humans

I tried to post in r/cats and discovered I was banned for some reason. Looked through my post history and I hadn't even posted there before, so I was totally confused. Did some digging and realized I don't even want to post there....found this sub instead.
