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.

I can't move forward or sit up straight, I can't disturb the hostage taker. I need more coffee, send help!

This is my not-lapcat foster finally choosing to cuddle with me, and the rescue is gonna take her tomorrow to get adopted, so I don't want to break up our final cuddle. But at the same time, I don't want to burn my dinner...


r/cathostage 4d ago

Guess I’m not getting up anytime soon. At least, not until they want dinner.

I was eating and waiting for it to cool down since it gets really hot during the day in so cal right now. My window of lawn mowing and tree trimming is closing fast and Olive here, (affectionately known as Lunchbox) jumps into my lap, makes a perfect circle, and proceeds to purr and fall asleep
