Reddit has a lot of problems. Cat worship is not one of them.
I think they're getting at the bot problem. They steal and repost cat pics to any and all cat subs regardless of if it's relevant to the sub.
At one point the same activity started ruining /r/animalsbeinggeniuses. Either utterly dumb users, or, more likely, botted accounts started spamming the sub with random animal photos/videos. Then, when I dared to point out that a sitting cat/dog isn't just genius for simply being cute or by being able to jump far, I often got downvoted because bUt It'S sO cUtE, hOw CaN yOu HaTe CuTe AnImAlS.
I stopped following Reddit content more than a year ago, but I'm not too surprised to see that the same is happening everywhere else.
And none of them are wrong!

That's QUEEN Monkey cat to you!
You can't fool me, that's a pug.
that's what my photo library thinks too ;_;
Weirdos ain’t they?
all these other cats should respect their eldersOne of the main things I miss about the place is the ridiculously specific cat subs.
Places like r/torties, r/calicokittys, r/catbellies, r/catsbeingcats, r/roastmycat, r/petthedamncat, r/ooobigstretch and r/blep (last two of which were species agnostic, though) all had The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters in guest star roles from time to time 😄

Not the asshole. Your cat, your rules

There's also several "pets" communities on smaller instances. Feel free to post your cat communities as well, I can't have gotten them all.
Lemmy needs multi-communities that allow you to subscribe to a curated list; having to subscribe to all of those individually was exhausting

Honestly I feel this way about a lot of the look at the hot chick subs.

It's hard to get pictures of "my" cat since he's just a stray that has claimed me and only comes around at night.
Is he quite a big cat, sort of a burnt orange colour, white underbelly with a very, very bushy tail?
Now kiss
Funny, I have a stray cat that comes by who has that description. We call him Waggles.
Here he is, pondering what a tortured life he would live should he choose to be a house cat, forced to see life outside through the iron bars of the window frame, on account of being too inconvenienced by going through the cat door. He decided such a life was too much to bare, so he went to the front door and demanded I let him out.
He hates cat doors, but he'll end up coming in the house on his own maybe once a month or so.
How is this any different than Lemmy cat subs?
They're different because on Lemmy they're called comms ;)
catculations? greebles?
Honestly read that as "so legal" and I was confused as to which sub that could've been. There are just so many.
if you feel an imbalance, go create some dog subs
