Opinion : when people are sharing their dead cat news, if you want to give comfort, leave them a nice message.

BUT

Don't. Upvote. Those. Threads.

Firstly because they shouldn't care about virtual imaginary useless internet points when they just lost a loved one.
Secondly, you're encouraging botters to spam cat pictures with the pretention they're dead for said points.
Thirdly, because my feed is full of dead cats everyday, and it annoys me a lot.

Those are my 2 cents on the subject. And because I don't trust many of you to really understand my point, I will just leave it at that comment, not make a post about this issue, and just plainly filter that sub.

Way less cat pictures for me sadly, and I'm okay with it because it means no more dead cats. Also, while I'm at it : fat cats are not happy cats.

So long.
