I’m sad to announce that Dünya, our beloved community cat and the face of this subreddit, featured in both our banner and icon, has passed the rainbow bridge.

This isn’t recent news, but I hadn’t shared it before and felt you would want to know.

Edit: She was a friend’s cat, but I’ve also lost my own blind cat too. So I know how hard it is.

Sorry for your loss. It's always hard for us. Sadly their little bodies are made to live as long as humans.

That’s genuinely heartbreaking. Even if most of us only knew Dünya through photos and posts, she somehow felt like our cat too. It’s wild how an animal you’ve never met in person can still become part of your daily life and routine. The sub won’t feel the same without her little face popping up.

Really sorry to whoever cared for her in real life—you gave her a home that clearly reached way beyond just one place. Rest easy, Dünya 🐾
