Hi! Are you new here and looking for more cat accounts to follow? Here is a starter pack I made of cat accounts that use ALT text and are run by real people - no bots or image scrapers! https://go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN
In addition, for people on slow or spotty connections, it may be all that loads. I find it useful for context, too. Not everyone has the same cultural reference set & I'm often floundering when I don't get the reference (eg, who is that celebrity? what show is that a still from?)
Requirements:
1. Posts primarily cat content (at least 90%)
2. Posts original or properly attributed content.
3. Consistently uses ALT text.
4. Has been consistently active here for at least one month.
5. No AI generated images, ever.
6. As a passionate advocate for shelter cats and cat welfare in general I prefer not to include breeders or cats purchased from breeders. Thank you for understanding.
Hallo!! ime Duggy, three-leggy none-tail rescue boy in Ireland!! Lotses of mine frends am on yore list,, so, thamk yuo !!! ime happy to being hear, we am movfings away from the "birb plase" becas itse Garbaje !!! 😻
This is a good rule. As someone whose always gotten all their cats from shelters, there are enough cats needing homes in the world, we don't need to breed more.
I’m a shelter photographer…haven’t posted here much but plan on building more community here. I could use some followers so my kitties can be seen and saved 😽
Thank you, I appreciate this so much. Especially after recent events in the US, it's been so nice coming onto bsky and just seeing beautiful, sweet and sometimes sassy kitties. 🥰
This is great! Could you add us to the starter pack? This account is pretty new, but run by a real person, only shows pictures of that person’s cats, and uses alt text.
Haley (Friends Of Bear cat rescue in the Bay Area) has *just* set up an account here. It's called FriendsOfBear & it would be great if she could be added. I've just replied to her at The Other Place to let her know about this pack, & that Alt text is a condition for inclusion.
you shud put me in dare to cuz i is nise an i not steels,,, 😻 well,,, sept sumtims if mine stinkie sisfur has treets an i nede dem,,, an i is a nise fren,,,, an i lubs eberybuddy,,, unless dem is a bullie or dat x guy,,, cuz him is a dumdumhed,,,,
this inspired me to go looking for dog/puppy focused accounts to follow. Nothing against the kitties mind you, but I like wagging tails just a skosh bit more :P :)
is there a way to turn starter packs into lists? as much as i love cats, i prefer my default Following page to have a balance of topics. when i need cats, i'd like to have this on hand though

The lady was fostering stray kittens with utmost dedication but then her house burnt down.
