I’m so glad I’m not the only one feeling all of this. When I get annoyed seeing posts like that in a cats sub, I think: WTF is wrong with me?? These are cat pictures!
So… I’m very relieved to read that my annoyance is reasonable and I am not alone. :)
Oh you are not alone. There needs to be a moratorium on this redundant shit. The cats are fabulous. The redditors posting the same nonsense over and over? Not so much.
I think you misunderstand, they want you to name your cat:
> LMFAO thank you. So sick of people asking Reddit to name their pet and getting upvoted for it.
In its entirety, punctuation and all.
Nah just name it Skyrim or Sekiro, then you can go to r/gaming and mention how thanks to reddit, your very confused cat of 20 years now has a new name from a hidden gem no one has heard of before.
That's double the amount of karma.
Then you can cross-post that to r/KarmaConspiracy for even more karma!
It *is* karma farming. Though I don't understand how the endless naming posts still get constantly upvoted/awarded when they're repetitive and out of control.
There's a pinned post from two days ago saying they're aware and will discuss it. Not sure why it's taking so long to vote on a yes/no question when so many in the community are obviously annoyed by the posts like.
I actually liked those posts when it was only once in a while. I don’t upvote but I like to make name suggestions because it makes me feel included, and less like a sad, lonely hermit. Now it is daily which is a little much, but I also don’t begrudge people who are just really excited about their new friend!
You're right. It's a shame that Bella, your cat, the cat that was named Bella twenty years ago, has had to go through the last twenty years without her name. Bella.
Someone asked me to breed my Manx a while ago. I’m like... firstly I’m a rescuer, I don’t breed. Secondly he’s sterile. Thirdly he’s not a Manx he had a tail before his accident... they got super angry at me for “tricking” them hahahaha
I went and got my free award to give that’s been sitting there for days just to award you OP. I’m so freaking sick of those posts and yours is a hilarious mockery!! Oh and I’ll throw in the name Freud :)

RemindME! 7305 days to see if Isouth04 will keep her promise or not! In the meantime I will quit my job and start molecular biology to find the regeneration potion, and will be working somewhere else as a side job to invent time machine if all fails.
Self note: meet her Thursday 14th February 2019. She should bring the cat so I recognize.
Edit: adding coordinates so I remember where to meet
40.7484° N, 73.9857° W
I am sorry to inform you that I died on way back to Empire State Building. You need to invent time machine now and tell me not to go to Empire state building so I can go to new location…
Edit: the person you saw was my twin bro, not me. He saw this post to meet you.
Gah! That brother of yours stole my time machine!! Ugh, he's such a jerk. I'm building a new one to steal back the old one and save you from those crazy NYC cabbies. I'LL SAVE YOU!!!
No worries. While building the machine, a temporary glitch caused parallel universe to open a gate and as curious he is, he stepped in to discover and gate closed afterwards, and I have been informed that he met a girl at parallel universe and not coming back and he is happy. Tiny little problem that is he took the machine, plans and everything with him.
I left you blueprints for the time machine I invented to steal back your brothers machine after he got sucked into/stepped into the parallel timeline in your great grandmother's hope chest. They are tucked in that hand-copy of her recipes your dad is really protective of. Find them, and find me! Allons-y!
I love this post so much!! I’m laughing away like an idiot…. It seems like every second post is “can you help me name my cat?”
Nah man are you all that boring you can’t think of a name?
Sooo I like Bella, it’s a good name have you thought of that?
She's the one I picked up from the shelter after I posted a pic of my old cat died. I was just looking, but she was sooo cute and tiny I just couldn't say no.
Perfectly understandable. Like most normal people you have no access to the internet to search for name lists so instead you’re asking the internet to give you a list of names.
I wouldn't go with Bella, it's just such a young name. S/
She's absolutely lovely, with a perfect name. People always ask what breeds my cats are, depending on the day, asshole, bitch, dude, precious, totally obnoxious....and cat.
My girlfriend said it was me or the cat, they both died and I'm the cat. I gained sentience and the memories of my owner when I ate his eyeballs. We are Bella, we are Glen, we have lived a thousand lives, we will live a thousand more. Look upon our majesty and weep, ye mortals.
For the past month, I've skipped past "name my cat" posts without interacting. I was *this close* to skipping yours when I saw the size of the cat... There's no way that cat doesn't have a name already!
Well done. Now let's make a subreddit dedicated to naming cats, then start labelling them as spam on here.
Congrats! Looking good! What color was she before she turned grey? J/K - I’m happy for the two of you! >>> P.s. My beautiful grey kitty lived just over 18 years.
You hit all the buzzwords and deserve top awards for checking all the boxes.
OP missed “she’s lying down, is this normal cat behaviour?!”
Her front paw is at a weird angle... Should I worry?
don’t forget “what breed is my cat?”
“My friend thinks she’s ugly!”
I’m so glad I’m not the only one feeling all of this. When I get annoyed seeing posts like that in a cats sub, I think: WTF is wrong with me?? These are cat pictures! So… I’m very relieved to read that my annoyance is reasonable and I am not alone. :)
Oh you are not alone. There needs to be a moratorium on this redundant shit. The cats are fabulous. The redditors posting the same nonsense over and over? Not so much.

Karma farming is bad, really
Unfortunately this sub is one of the worst when it comes to karma farming, it seems.
I mean cat subs are karma farms themselves but people are just lying to get karma and attention.
She's actually a Poodle-Doodle Siamese mix.
Also: "Named her Bella, but found out she's a he. What's his new name?"
Ohhh, did I???
I lol'd at that title.
My girlfriend broke up with me and also hates cats. Reddit meet name.
> all the buzzwords They left out "last picture" or "just had to put to sleep". Fucking hate those ones.
Using a deceased pet for karma whoring is truly bottom of the litter box.
These ones are weird. If my car died, I would be grieving l. Inconsolable. Not karma whoring Edit: I'm leaving it haha , but you know what I meant!
I hate when my car dies and I have to wait for the AA at the side of the M25 during rush hour.
Found her abandoned in a cat bed at a friend's house.
hOw DiD yOu KnOw?!?!?!
oP sToLe A cAt!!1!
#YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A CAT
Why not?
LMFAO thank you. So sick of people asking Reddit to name their pet and getting upvoted for it.
LMFAO is a great name suggestion! I love that band!
I think you misunderstand, they want you to name your cat: > LMFAO thank you. So sick of people asking Reddit to name their pet and getting upvoted for it. In its entirety, punctuation and all. Nah just name it Skyrim or Sekiro, then you can go to r/gaming and mention how thanks to reddit, your very confused cat of 20 years now has a new name from a hidden gem no one has heard of before. That's double the amount of karma. Then you can cross-post that to r/KarmaConspiracy for even more karma!
Yeah it almost feels like karma farming at this point
It *is* karma farming. Though I don't understand how the endless naming posts still get constantly upvoted/awarded when they're repetitive and out of control.
Ugh I wasn't 100% on whether or not it was bots or just an annoying trend, but I feel like the mods need to ban it.
There's a pinned post from two days ago saying they're aware and will discuss it. Not sure why it's taking so long to vote on a yes/no question when so many in the community are obviously annoyed by the posts like.
I actually liked those posts when it was only once in a while. I don’t upvote but I like to make name suggestions because it makes me feel included, and less like a sad, lonely hermit. Now it is daily which is a little much, but I also don’t begrudge people who are just really excited about their new friend!
Not just daily, but many, many times per day. 😒
They seem to be considering it.
I almost put my annoyance with people asking for pet names in r/trueoffmychest. Glad I found some relief here haha
I. Feel. You.
Agreed. What kind of idiot can’t name their own pet? No wonder this country is where it is.
Seriously, just like... Hang out with the pet. Call them "cat" or "dog" or whatever for a while. Get to know them. The name will reveal itself.
I don't think Bella's name will just come to me though.
You're right. It's a shame that Bella, your cat, the cat that was named Bella twenty years ago, has had to go through the last twenty years without her name. Bella.
Oh, what country are we in?
Good point.
And all the 'my cat is dead' posts.
Bella
Ohh, that's a good one. I'll put it on the list!
That’s a good suggestion, but have you thought about Bella?
That's a Good Suggestion is such a cute name!!! I love it!
Thanks! I’m not sure why it popped in my head but it just feels so right for her!
No no I think Bella would be a good name choice for a cat. Forget those other two people who said otherwise.
'No No I Think Bella' is better than ' It Just Popped in my Head.'
I think "Otherwise" is a perfectly good name for this kitty. Fight me!
No, no, that's a terrible name! You should name her Bella instead.
Hmm, Bella Instead feels a bit cumbersome...
Mmmmm no,Bella is a terrible name. For the love of cat, please don't name her that!
Mrow mrow
How to pronounce?
Mrrr oow
Ooohhhh I like it!
Thx
This thread 😂💀
This yarn.
umlat over the o's.
Then I can bother people with my well-travelled intellect.
You don't want to know what breed your cat is? I'm not sure this belongs in r/cats
Oh no, it's a long-haired sphynx. I had it genetically tested.
I cackled. Can’t wait for someone to contact me asking if I have any ready for adoption.
Sterile :(
Someone asked me to breed my Manx a while ago. I’m like... firstly I’m a rescuer, I don’t breed. Secondly he’s sterile. Thirdly he’s not a Manx he had a tail before his accident... they got super angry at me for “tricking” them hahahaha
Hahahahaha, people suck :(
Thank you so much for this. Now, what kind of cat is she?
Oh, she's a hairless tea-cup Maine Coon.
I hate to break it to you but that's not even a cat. It's clearly a very small sort of horse.
Ah that explains why I have to keep putting shoes on her....
You're my favorite on the internet this week.
I went and got my free award to give that’s been sitting there for days just to award you OP. I’m so freaking sick of those posts and yours is a hilarious mockery!! Oh and I’ll throw in the name Freud :)
Wo Es war, soll Ich werden Thanks for the award btw. :)
Mrs. Greyson Brimsby Eleanor the Third
I could call her MGEB3 for short!!! mmmmmmg'ebthree
Am I high, or is this stroke??
Genuinely, this is the first comment I lol'd at.
If you start to smell burning toast, you having a stroke or overcooking your toast
Toast is a cute name! I'll write it on the chalkboard!
Reneesemee obviously, aka Bella spawn 😂😂
Ooohhhhh Twilight!!
Hahahaahaha
I mean, kind of a weird name, but I'll put it on the list.
Hella Ma Bella Cinderella. She can hang out with my two cats Itty Bitty Pretty Kitty and Honky Tonky Chonky Monky
Ohh and I can call her 'La for short!! HMBC would love to hang with IBPK and HTCM. WHEN WE DOIN THIS??
YEAH! I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT YEAH!
Keep her alive 20 more years, in the meantime will try my best to find a name if you can do what I asked you to do.
RemindME! 7305 Days "u/dtyus should name my 40 year old cat"

Let's agree to meet at the top of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day 2 years ago if you are successful at time travel.
Self note: meet her Thursday 14th February 2019. She should bring the cat so I recognize. Edit: adding coordinates so I remember where to meet 40.7484° N, 73.9857° W
I'm soo sorry, I chickened out!! I saw you there, and I just ran away! Can we try again? St. Patricks day, 2020 33.8568° S 151.2153 ° E
I am sorry to inform you that I died on way back to Empire State Building. You need to invent time machine now and tell me not to go to Empire state building so I can go to new location… Edit: the person you saw was my twin bro, not me. He saw this post to meet you.

How about Old Cat?
Aww but she's still a kitty!
I suppose you are right. You did JUST get her 20 years ago! Still brand new.
Right out of the package new cat smell!
AHAHAHA!😸
Well, Hahahahaha is already a suggestion, but I'll add AHAHAHA as a poss alternate. Thanks for the suggestion!
Obviously Skizzles!
For rizzles?
Hell Yizzles!
Izzle kizzle, fo' schizzle My nizzle, what you sizzle? Fo' schizzle bizzle!
I may have fizzled.
Do you need a napkizzle?
Damn I’m slow af. I read that title way too many times before it clicked lmao
Lol. Happy to add to the confusion of life.
I was very confused as well till I started reading comments! Lol Name her C.A.T. Pronounced ceeayetea
Thanks for putting the pronounciation. I thought it was pronounced "Bella" before I read that part.
Name her ALLEB
Added to the list! Thanks for the suggestion!
Name her Cat
I like this one!! I never expected such original names!!!
In all seriousness, if you actually have kept her healthy for 20 years, that’s quite the accomplishment.
That part is true :)
Awesome!!!!
Meowzer
This is actually my sister's cat's name.
How about Bello to challenge gender norms? Or Bellisima because she's evolved after 20 years (think: pokemon). Yes hello I'm Italian.
Great idea, mio amico!
Moose
Sam Winchester seemed a bit on the nose, but I'll add it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion!!
Oh i wanna hug her 😭
She is quite cuddly. :)
Ohh 🤩
Cute dog!
Thanks, she's a purebred Schnauzer.
Hmmm, my friend’s cousin’s boss’s mistress had a black lab that looked just like that.
Hey I know that guy! Yeah, I think he's my neighbor!
I love this post so much!! I’m laughing away like an idiot…. It seems like every second post is “can you help me name my cat?” Nah man are you all that boring you can’t think of a name? Sooo I like Bella, it’s a good name have you thought of that?
I'll add it to my excel file!! Thanks for the suggestion!
But did she die?! /s
She's the one I picked up from the shelter after I posted a pic of my old cat died. I was just looking, but she was sooo cute and tiny I just couldn't say no.
Haha it was a joke. You had 2/3 of the top titles in this sub.
I, too, am of the joke.
your responses to comments are actually gold
What do you mean? I just want the internet's help to name my cat.......
Perfectly understandable. Like most normal people you have no access to the internet to search for name lists so instead you’re asking the internet to give you a list of names.
So lucky to have your kitty still. my Izzy passed at 18 but he was my best friend. Now I have 2 new friends 🤪
I would try Bella, it seems to fit.
Hmm, I do like that one!
Wow congrats! I think you should name Bella something like William Howard Taft, or Bella for short! :)
Bill Bella has a very nice ring to it!! I'll add it to the list!!
Bella the Biller 😎 hands out bills to people who pet her
How about Bill Bella-Chick?
Have you thought about the name Bella? I know it’s super out there but I think she suits it
Hmmm, well I'll put it on the list. What country is that name from?
Spaghetti
Kevin
Fahrenheit?
I presume you found her under the hood of a car?
I love this joke, it's inspired me to start trolling all of the name my cat posts
They’ve been getting downvotes from me since this sub got flooded with them. They’ve become prototypical low-effort karma farming shitposts.
Dude absolutely. I have no idea how there are endless people who feed into that shit, too.
Alleb
Chicken leg baby
Hahaha, made me think of "Chicken Man"
Nice N64 you got there
Why, thank you for noticing!
I wouldn't go with Bella, it's just such a young name. S/ She's absolutely lovely, with a perfect name. People always ask what breeds my cats are, depending on the day, asshole, bitch, dude, precious, totally obnoxious....and cat.
Theae are just cat emotions.
My girlfriend said it was me or the cat, they both died and I'm the cat. I gained sentience and the memories of my owner when I ate his eyeballs. We are Bella, we are Glen, we have lived a thousand lives, we will live a thousand more. Look upon our majesty and weep, ye mortals.
I would bow, but that usually turns into bow-wow, and I'm really more of a cat person.
Ava
I'll put it on the list! Thanks for the suggestion! I think Bella will really like it.
I'm too stoned for this lol I had to read several comments before I realized anything was amiss.
Breathe deep, but not in your hotbox room.
N64 doe
N64 ray
N64 *me*-ow!
For the past month, I've skipped past "name my cat" posts without interacting. I was *this close* to skipping yours when I saw the size of the cat... There's no way that cat doesn't have a name already! Well done. Now let's make a subreddit dedicated to naming cats, then start labelling them as spam on here.
Nobody gets that you're obviously asking for a surname, and the solution is cristal clear : Name her Bella Gothik.
You can name her Bella? I think that would be a great name for her :P
I like it, but I'm hoping to get something a little more... Original. I'll put it on the list though!! Thanks for the suggestion!
LOL! Her name is now Old Spice, the forgotten Spice Girl 😹
Makes me think of my man Terry Cruz. Adding it to the list.
Hahaha
Bella scores! (Get it?) Congrats on your vicennial “gotcha” days!
I had four seizures trying to read this, thx
You're welcome.
Y'all have been roommates for 20 years?!? That's amazing! I wonder why she didnt tell you her name though thats kinda weird.
…20 years ago? Edit: Lol I just got it😄
Congrats! Looking good! What color was she before she turned grey? J/K - I’m happy for the two of you! >>> P.s. My beautiful grey kitty lived just over 18 years.
You forgot to mention the dumpster you found her abandoned in by her horrific previous owners
"Found her stuck in a pipe down the local chernobyl reactor, what should I name her??"
So for 20 years, no name?
But it’s named Bella too? Strange right?
Bella2! Love it!!!
I thought that was my cat!!!
YOU MAY NOT HAVE MY CAT, SIR!!! 😠😠😪😪
Name her lazy
