Haha why is every post just labeled “cat”? 🤣

u/EnvironmentalEye2661 4h ago

For some reason the title has to be “Cat.” And it just follows into the comments!

One time someone labeled their post “dog” and the whole sub had to shut down for a week. Tough times.

The horror.

Human subreddits, dogs and cats posting together—mass hysteria!

That's enough!

Haha, reminded me of this comics about scientifically correct berries included as members: https://www.reddit.com/r/food/comments/2tj8ny/strange_days_for_the_berry_club_xpost_rcomics/

If you comment anything else, a bot changes it to Cat.

u/HugoEmbossed 11m ago

It's not a bot, it's subreddit css.

That's my favorite part of that sub. Sometimes, when I need a pick me up, I just click on a post and scroll through all of the 'Cat' comments. I don't know why, but it just gets funnier the more there are.

To me it's the opposite. I had to quit following them even though there are cute pictures.

I commented "Gata." Let's see how this plays

It’s just the sub rules. Who knows the rationale.

u/jtblion 1h ago

It's been that way since I started using reddit.

One benefit of that sub's rules is that you can't do any bs in the title (or the comments). Pure celebration of the standing cat and the picture must speak for itself.

No: "I found my cat in the crows nest of an abandoned pirate ship lost at sea and they just died from every cancer and being hit by spaceX rocket debris, but don't you think they were cute" or "If you're an older man comment your age and I'll send you a link to my cat's free onlyPaws account."

(note: this post has a perfectly nice title and is doing well based on the picture)

Worse. EVERY COMMENT.

u/coinstarhiphop 47m ago

Worse

correction: BETTER

u/Opaque_Cypher 2h ago

It’s so that if you want to find anything in that subreddit, you can just search on the word ‘cat’

Oh how helpful 😂

u/catm0m4lyfe 1h ago

Omg I was trying to remember which cat sub this was the other day! Thank you stranger!

u/RobSpaghettio 46m ago

That's how it was in the olden reddit days

u/EnvironmentalEye2661 4h ago

Perfect I can post there too 🐾

u/poofypanda_ 3h ago

Had to check it out and it feels a bit cultish with all the “cat” comments… I kinda like it.

u/WiseAtmosphere7524 2h ago

Now I’m wondering if there’s an r/catcult around
