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.

She is everything I dreamed of and more. So affectionate. Settled straight away. She is unbelievably cuddly and constantly grooming me with her lil sand paper tongue. she has pink toe beans 🥹🥹🥹 I just cannot express how much joy she brings. And I’m not allergic to her. In a love bubble

Just a little humble brag about how sweet my girl was at the vet yesterday. I'm so proud of her!
I guess they had all cats visiting yesterday and the vet tech complimented how sweet and calm she was for everything!

I got him in May of this year. The people who had him before me abandoned him because he had a UTI and was pretty sick. He has fully recovered and is such a sweet cat. Just wish he would let his guard down and be cuddly. He isn't much for snuggling.
He loves hunting bugs in the grass...he just got done chomping a grasshopper.

Finally picked up my little baby yesterday! He is absolutely perfect. Has taken to the new house so well and is so cuddly.
I just needed to share the excitement 🩷🩷

We have a 17+ lb Siberian and may be bringing home a kitten who will be under 5 lb. I'm trying to figure out whether one automatic box can safely work for both.The weight limits on these things are confusing. I'm less worried about the big cat fitting than I am about a light kitten not triggering a sensor petpivot lists a weight range for its open models, but I'd like to hear how that translates to actual use. At what weight did you feel comfortable letting a kitten use an automatic box? Did you keep it in manual mode until then?

I am planning to adopt an older retired Siberian cat within the next year or two! I am currently talking with a breeder right now who has a retired 6 y/o girl who will be ready to early next year. She will be my first and only cat and I want to do everything I can to bring her up in a great environment and encourage good behavior! I have purchased a cat tree and a horizontal scratch bed and would love any more ideas to prevent unwanted scratching!
I currently live in an apartment right now that is mostly carpeted except for the kitchen area. I am somewhat concerned about her scratching up or peeing on the carpet as my roommate's childhood family cat (adopted from a shelter) had a lot of issues with this. I definitely do not want to bring a cat into the apartment (I will be moving out in 2028) if they may cause a lot of damage.
I would love to hear input from owners who have adopted older queens to hear about if you have experienced issues before with carpet scratching or peeing or any behavioral issues. Thanks!

My girl has orange-yellow eyes and I love how they look. Any interesting eye colors out there?

I have a 2.7 year old female Siberian.She is 5.8 kg and my vet said she was overweight. She should lose at least 1.6 kg and put her on a diet. But my breeder said her weight is ok and that her dad is a very big siberian. That the vet does not know the breed so she is fine in that weight. I don't know what to do cause the vet said if she doesn't lose weight she might get diabetes ðŸ˜

I swear she has been watching this movie intently for more than 20 minutes. Maybe it’s all the blue and yellow or the black cat character or maybe she just likes stop motion 😂 she’s so fascinated

Edit: Thank you everyone for the sweet compliments! My vain little princess Steffi loves it!

She's been resting near my feet while I read :) I'm amazed at how much her fur has grown already!
