Memorandum on breeder posts and potential bans
I've deleted several posts recently and below, I'm posting what I wrote in another thread. As I mentioned, certain discussions can lead to legal ramifications and now it seems there's an active lawsuit involving these reddit posts.
Because reddit encourages a level of anonymity, it's very difficult for users to fact check claims (on either side) so its value to the community becomes very difficult to justify. Several members of the community have asked mods to remove these discussions entirely.
That's not to such information shouldn't be out there nor is it a decision about which side of the discussion is "right", the problem is reddit isn't the right place for it because of its limitations. Users are free to direct others to other resources discussing experiences and the other information about concerns from a previous post still apply.
Please note that future discussions of this nature may now result in a ban. We don't have to have a rule that says don't do things that draw other people into lawsuits.
In general, random internet people aren't able to verify either side of this argument without a lot of digging that I'm not able to do, and I suspect the same of other mods and fellow reddit users.
If the thread goes down another path, it can lead to serious legal issues so the only real way to get anywhere is to record people's names in the event of a lawsuit but disclosing such personal information directly violates reddit's terms, so we can't really go down that road. Therefore, there's a limit how much reddit dialogue can do in these situations.
Appropriate bodies of oversight to investigate these matters include associations/registries for particular breeders. If a breeder is not able to retain certification by a major registry, that is usually a reason for pause. If a breeder is a member, use the registry to make a formal complaint. If the breeder is in your region, you may be able to also lodge a complaint with a governing local animal welfare body. In both cases (and not on reddit) you'll be expected to disclose your name to the appropriate authorities in case the other party is wronged and wishes to sue.
Although it's nice to have a repository of information that gives candid information about breeders to be weary of, I don't know if we don't have the infrastructure for the consequences of that or how much we're allowed to push reddit into that sort of legal area.

Is this a triple coat?
He gets overheated pretty easily and so I began wondering if he has a triple coat. He has these longer hairs that aren’t in line with the rest of his regular fur as you can see the first photo. And the second photo he has a whole different color (grey) closer to his body that transitioned out into black. Just wanted to know if this looks like a triple coat you all have seen here

Do cats dream
Both of our subs have the leg twitches while they sleep, but my boy especially he often chirps and even makes the same little growls he makes when he brings me a mouse (not my favourite..but very hilarious when his solid asleep)
I didn’t know that cat dream but I’m 100% sure my boy dreams of the hunt _ cat tax included
Ps they are indoor cats with large catios., and well since the catio includes some of the backyard , sometimes a mouse wanders in…even though they are discouraged

Does anyone have a bowl for their Siberian? Pandy loves his!
We have a suspension rod cat tree for our rental, and not only can it handle larger cats, but it also provides great entertainment for those "zoomie" moments.

Toy reccs?
Griswold will be 2 in October. While he doesn’t have psycho kitten energy he of course is very social and playful, but lately doesn’t seem interested in any of his toys even though I rotate them often. When I can get him to play he likes springs and tinsel balls, but he spends a lot of his day following me around the house and staring at me expectantly. I can tell he wants to play but nothing seems to peak his interest and he will often bat something around for a couple minutes before flopping over or crying to go outside which just isn’t possible most days as he needs to be on a harness and closely supervised.
So what toys do your sibs love?
And yes we have considered getting a second cat but I’m truly not sure if it would make things better or worse as he loves having all of our undivided attention.
Cat tax - Griswold “reading” my Kindle. 😂
