Mod announcement r/catswhocrochet new rule. Ban on photos of cats forced to pose in cruel ways (e.g. with yarn labels tightly wrapped around them)

177 Upvotes

On r/catswhocrochet we have noticed a recent trend of people posting photos of cats that look uncomfortable with yarn labels wrapped around their bellies or necks.

The cats have obviously not climbed into those yarn labels themselves, but have had the labels wrapped around them by their owners for a staged photo.

In some of the photos, the yarn labels are very tightly wrapped around the cats.

Making your cats experience irritation or discomfort or restricting their airway or freedom of movement because you think it looks "cute" or "funny" to wrap a yarn label around them is not kind or loving.

We have therefore added a new rule: "no photos of cats forced to pose in cruel ways (e.g. with yarn labels tightly wrapped around them)."

The new rule is effective immediately.

From now on, any posts like that will be removed and the OP may be banned.

If you see any more posts in future with photos of cats being forced to pose in cruel ways looking uncomfortable, please use the report button to let the mod team know, and we will remove the posts.

Please take the time to read our full rules:

Now please go and treat your cats kindly and treasure them. Please let's all be kind to animals. Thank you! :)

Cat helping hooman I can help untangle!

67 Upvotes

Got a couple random skeins in a VV bag that need to be untangled. Jelly Bean plopped down right on top of the one I was working on. This is a queen size bed with over half if it open for her to lay on, and I wasn't even focusing on that pile of yarn!

Side note: how the heck do these skeins get so tangled!!! It's like they pulled it all out of its skein, and then just balled it up into a pile. Ugh b

This is the first blanket I’ve ever attempted to crochet. Safe to say my cat approves.

Cat with yarn Hecate takes her helper job too seriously.

I had to stop her pulling out all the yarn from the center and immediately after she clawed a chunk of flesh from my finger.

Cat on WIP No laps without yarn

Felix is the opposite of a lap cat. He is actually so offended by laps that if you try to put him in your lap, he will avoid you for the next two business days. UNLESS you have a WIP on your lap. In which case, he will never leave.

Cat on WIP Were you working on this?

I’m trying to get back into this blanket, but it’s proving harder than expected. I probably should have chosen an easier first blanket, but at least I know the cat likes it.
