On July 1st, a highly unpopular change to Reddit's API pricing went into effect. Most third-party apps have shut down and so have many tools relied upon by moderators and projects for making Reddit more accessible to visually impaired users.

Beyond the disastrous AMA by the CEO, Reddit's response has been limited to promises that this change will not affect moderation tools (it has) and promises of new and more-accessible first-party moderation tools. Promises just like ones they have made in response to past protests, but have consistently failed to fulfill.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Finding your favorite subreddits on other platforms and participating there instead.
  2. Refraining from using the first-party Reddit app, instead sticking to one of the few remaining third-party apps or patching one of the apps that shut down if you're using an Android device.
  3. Disabling ads on Reddit with an ad-blocking extension or a DNS-based ad-blocker.
  4. Cancelling your Reddit Premium subscription.
  5. Sharing the continued news coverage of these events.
  6. Encouraging others to do all the above.

Could just be stomach training the baby. We do it all the time here in Sweden but for short intervals. It helps the baby train their necks and eventually start crawling.

u/AviatorBJP 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yes. I saw a documentary where the scientists were using brain scans of cats to recreate what the cat was seeing. They showed a human go in front of this cat and the image that showed up on the computer screen was a human with cat features added on. So cats just see their humans as part of their people. Literally.

My SO's cat doesn't have kittens, but she does have a favorite stuffed toy we call Puppy. It's been with her since ~she was the kitten.

When the family goes up into their rooms and she's left downstairs, she'll always come meowing upstairs bringing Puppy with her. Either into someone's room or until someone comes out to notice her meowing. The same thing will happen when they're all downstairs and she's upstairs with Puppy.

Definitely the same behavior. She wants someone to look after Puppy.

In a cozy corner, by the firelight's gleam, A cat named Whiskers had a cunning scheme. With her tiny kitten, just a ball of fur, She set off on a mission, quite the connoisseur.

To her master's side, she quietly crept, With her little one, she silently leapt. Into the nursery, she ventured with grace, To introduce her kitten to a tiny, rosy face.

The baby gurgled, the kitten purred, Two worlds collided, absurdly stirred. Innocence met innocence, pure and bright, As whiskers and dimples shared the night.

With a flick of her tail, Whiskers declared, "This is your friend, be gentle, be paired." The baby's laughter, the kitten's mew, A friendship was born, pure and true.

So, in this tale of furry delight, A cat and her kitten, both took flight. With a baby and love, they made a sweet crew, In the heart of their home, where dreams came true.

Someone covered this behavior in another subreddit. Mother cats (and dogs or and animal that might have to hunt) will bring their kittens to wherever the other newborns are because they need to hunt or sleep.
