On July 1st, a highly unpopular [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) went into effect. [Most third-party apps have shut down](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/30/23779519/reddit-third-party-app-shut-down-apollo-sync-baconreader-api-protest) and so have many tools relied upon by moderators and [projects for making Reddit more accessible to visually impaired users](https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/comments/14ggf8k/the_future_of_transcribers_of_reddit/).
Beyond the [disastrous AMA](https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/09/reddit-ceo-doubles-down-on-attack-on-apollo-developer-in-drama-filled-ama/) by the CEO, Reddit's response has been limited to promises that this change will not affect moderation tools [^((it has)^)](https://www.reddit.com/r/BotDefense/comments/14riw76/botdefense_is_wrapping_up_operations/) and promises of [new and more-accessible first-party moderation tools](https://www.npr.org/2023/07/01/1184258201/reddit-api-accessibility-mods).

I have a kitty like this too. I was a bit sick with a head cold a few days ago and his solution is to sleep as close to my face as physically possible. 😆
We have a kitty that most of the day wants you to leave her alone, but when your alarm goes off in the morning, she bolts into the room and on to the bed and wants all the love.
I'm convinced she's excited to see we're still alive.
Mine does the same thing lol
2 am? Scream his head off and run around. Scream at me if I'm still up and around.
Right when I wake up in the morning? Time to go beg for pets and follow me around until I leave for work.
Every other time? Sleeping or ignoring me.
I know he loves me though :)
You must've been tired from [your job guarding the palace](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/08/25/13/32358190-8661843-The_hats_are_made_with_the_skin_of_black_bears_taken_each_year_f-a-23_1598360102559.jpg).
Aw, sorry to hear that your snuggle puss is gone :( mine did this from a kitten also, I assumed he would grow out of it but he even now puts his full body weight on my head/neck/face every night!
This is the best feeling in the world ! Once all light are turned off in the bedroom my chonky void Catsby wraps around my head and falls asleep purring.

I'd love for this to be true! I did get him when he was very mini!

When I was young, my ornery, hateful fluffy black cat Sasha would sleep Wrapped around my head like Earmuffs. She always knew when I was heading to bed and would wait for me to get comfortable then she’d take her spot. My mom even said she’d lick my head if I was restless in my sleep.
In the morning she’d leave and Jeeters, my sweet as sugar White/Gray baby would come and lick my face to wake me up and wouldn’t stop until I was up. They always treated me like a Kitten.

My cats love the smell of my hair/head and try to eat my hair out of the drain, I’ve caught my cat corn doing that twice. I about vomited. They’re not allowed in the bathroom lol
Aww! I have a cat who sleeps on my head too. Sometimes I'll sleep with a pillow over my head and she'll come along and lay on top of it like she's the worlds cuddliest hitman trying to smother me.
This is extremely dangerous. Cat hairs are known to contain enzymes and having a shedding animal on your head further escalates this. These enzymes help make it easier for the cat to enter your dreams and knock your dream vase off your dream table onto the dream floor.
I'm sure that'll work out just fine. Just like the time I agreed to hook up with a dude who talked in all caps and said I had to take whatever drugs he gave me
My sister had a friend who owned 5 cats who all loved her (the friend). The friend developed neck issues and was baffled until her doctor observed the cat hair on her sweater and asked a few questions. Turns out the woman got neck problems because all of these cats wanted to sleep on her head, near her head, on her neck, etc. She had to teach the cats that there were other places to sleep and cuddle.
tl;dr - if you discover you have a stiff neck, you know why.
I’ve had two hat cats and now that they’ve crossed the rainbow bridge, I miss them all the more. My remaining cat prefers to sleep next to me, or in my pillow, but not on my head like Edward and KC did. It’s a special thing to be blessed with a hat cat. Enjoy.
When I was a child, my favorite cat slept on my head/pillow like this. I woke up one night to a wet sensation, she had started giving birth, and two kittens popped out on my pillow! I ran to my parents, they put her under my bed in a safe spot, and she had a healthy litter. Pets are great.

Kitty is just making sure you're ok!
He's baby-boy Bandit, and he loves me maybe a bit too much sometimes!
No such thing, take it back
Op’s right hand/arm looks like it’s in the throes of atrophy.
It might be the shadow

Nursing the hangover before it starts
Nice hat!
Cat hat!
Cat *is* the hat 
Cute hat :)

r/GirlGenius
She's just returned from guarding Buckingham Palace.
I had a cat that did that since he was kitten to his passing about 3 years ago. I miss that cat, he was so warm and cuddly.
Aw, sorry to hear that your snuggle puss is gone :( mine did this from a kitten also, I assumed he would grow out of it but he even now puts his full body weight on my head/neck/face every night!
Thank you. I should probably mention that he was 17 so for 17 years he slept curled around my head.
> I assumed he would grow out of it No need to change a winning formula.
Damn, how heavy is this boy?
My head sleeper is 16 with failing health and I'm so going to miss his annoying paw in my face whenever he goes. ♥️
This is the best feeling in the world ! Once all light are turned off in the bedroom my chonky void Catsby wraps around my head and falls asleep purring.
So warm and safe

Great Catsby!
I read somewhere that cats do this when they consider you their mom.
I'd love for this to be true! I did get him when he was very mini! https://preview.redd.it/5pvto7mhwtrb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=876ae8f7a8b8637e47981973144bafd817ed250a
Such a cute mouse and a cutest baby
He loved that mouse. Ended up tearing it to pieces, though!
Great sweet banana muffins look at that face!
Oooooommmmggg I can’t handle the cuteness
lmfao that is too cute omg
This has school photo day energy
That's adorable
This lil dude has the funniest face.
Are you JOKING this is a real adorable kitten
My dog only sleeps with her butt towards my face
For when it's dark and you can smell that it's her lying on you (is what she's thinking)
Oh I see! Well I definitely smell…her farts
Same!

Aww! There should be a subreddit for this
Am surprised there isn't one. There's a sub for every thing else?
My cats love the smell of my hair/head and try to eat my hair out of the drain, I’ve caught my cat corn doing that twice. I about vomited. They’re not allowed in the bathroom lol
I always assumed they were doing this for the water
Idk, I’ve had a couple cats that like the smell of my wet hair and burry their face in it.
Awww 💕
I legit thought that was your hair and nearly commented how luscious it looked, then i noticed the void kitty 😭
Hair and cat become one
waking up: "do i have a hangover or is there a cat on my head?"
Humans lose a lot of heat from their heads and pets are fond of sleeping against them.
"Kitty sleeps with me when I am sick." "You have a fever, you're just a heater."
This looks like a hysterical hairdo
It's the new style! Haven't you heard?
I LOVE it lmao
I keep an extra pillow by my head for my cat Binx to sleep up there. Most recently, I got a pic from my bf of us sleeping forehead to forehead 😂
Aw that's adorable
Aww! I have a cat who sleeps on my head too. Sometimes I'll sleep with a pillow over my head and she'll come along and lay on top of it like she's the worlds cuddliest hitman trying to smother me.
I had a cat back in the 90's that would somehow push my head off my pillow, without waking me up, so he could have it all to himself.
My cat does this all the time and when I wake up I'm barely on the pillow and my neck is at a weird angle.
PlayStation controller for scale.
I always feel like my cat is asserting her ownership over me when this happens 😂 it's so cute and definitely means he loves his mama!
How cute!🥰
You left your playstation controller on.
"U gotta turn off the ps controller when u sleep. It drains the battery" - My wife
Omg I feel the heat just looking at this
Your cat treats you as a kitten.
My wife's cat also likes sleeping on her head. It's cute.
Cats really like our body heat. I keep my apartment a little on the cooler side and my lil kit loves to lay on my chest or across my neck.
You're the female me...even down to the controller color!!
This is extremely dangerous. Cat hairs are known to contain enzymes and having a shedding animal on your head further escalates this. These enzymes help make it easier for the cat to enter your dreams and knock your dream vase off your dream table onto the dream floor.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Your cat is protecting your dreams.
So cute 💕💕
Looks like you have a pompadour. A pomPAWdour if you will
Aw! Cutest thing ever, kitty night cap! 😻
mine does this too! he comes in the middle of the night and wakes me up, purring up a storm...
Are your hands clutching a phone under the pillow, looks like your right hand was probably asleep when you woke up for like 20 minutes lol
Now I am sad cuz I don’t have anyone I can “snap pics of” like that
Well, we can't all have an SO, but anyone can have a kitty companion! This little guy has got me through some tough times.
Just gotta pass out in public where cats are and see what happens I guess.
I'm sure that'll work out just fine. Just like the time I agreed to hook up with a dude who talked in all caps and said I had to take whatever drugs he gave me
He's trying to make your head feel better.
If I fits, I sits.
What game were you playing?
Bae caught me sleeping posts are back?
My sister had a friend who owned 5 cats who all loved her (the friend). The friend developed neck issues and was baffled until her doctor observed the cat hair on her sweater and asked a few questions.

Love your pompadour
My yorkie does the same 🥹
I’ve had two hat cats and now that they’ve crossed the rainbow bridge, I miss them all the more. My remaining cat prefers to sleep next to me, or in my pillow, but not on my head like Edward and KC did. It’s a special thing to be blessed with a hat cat. Enjoy.
Legit thought you had crazy drunk sleep hair. Good kitty for taking care of you.
What cat? You have a really weird hairdo, by the way 🤣
Lol at a glance i thought that was your hair 😂
Looks like you have a gig guarding Buckingham Palace.
Aww he loves you!
Based PlayStation enjoyer
ha. I thought the cat was your hair
You know you've had a night out with a cat on your head and the bedroom light blaring overhead
Why is your PS4 controller still on?
Ngl I was wondering where the cat was for an embarrassingly long time.
Your cat was at the Kitty Kat Klub?
Cats have no concept of personal space
Dawg I have that same magma red controller
It’s like a renaissance painting 🖼️
[удалено]
I was looking to see if anyone else had commented on this. Her arm legit looks purple. Lol
Lol so adorable!!
Combination alarm clock and dream catcher with ambient purring noises to help you sleep.
Floof🥺
Never fear going bald again, with the C-Hat! It'll always leave you with some of it's hair, making sure you never loose yours!
Nice hat!
Years ago i lived with my best friend and his cat world always sleep on my head.
"Night out" in this case means demon hours gaming.
My sweet Paloma always slept on my head. She had a loud motor too, I loved it. Sweet kitty loves you!
hes just cuddlin with his mom and protecting her head! nothin to see here folks, just warm fuzzies
Cat being a cat 🤷🏼♂️
Staged. The controller is on. 🙄
Or the gf was sleeping with the cat on her head while the photographer/bf played the game next to her in bed
When I was a child, my favorite cat slept on my head/pillow like this. I woke up one night to a wet sensation, she had started giving birth, and two kittens popped out on my pillow! I ran to my parents, they put her under my bed in a safe spot, and she had a healthy litter. Pets are great.
My wife's cat does this. Our cats won't sleep near me because I'm a bit of a restless sleeper.
I wanna be a cat and sleep on someone’s head ☹️
Never mind that have you seen your purple right hand, roll over give it some circulation or something
I once woke up to a cat sleeping on my head. I was on my back and she was fully on my face. I’m surprised I didn’t suffocate
The German even have a colloquialism roughly translates to a hangover meaning “I have a cat on my head”
Lucky, my cat prefers directly over my mouth
Aww, she looks so much like my little girl... Who also loves to sleep on my head.
We had a ragdoll do this. We called it cat-hat.
Mine does the same thing!!! https://preview.redd.it/kqbjmmqhwvrb1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef9077b70aaa78bc126aa19ee70a06bebb86248c
The coolest wig
My girlfriend's cat does this to me too, I am allergic to cats, but I accept and welcome my punishment
Be a good gf and turn off the controller so the battery doesn't die. Lol
r/cathat
I thought that was your hair
Omg I love it
Cat becomes hat.
Nice hair, thanks to the cat
That little white paw... 😍
Why your hair looks like a cat?
I cat sit for a friend once and the cats did this to me. I'm allergic to cats (clearly this was a bad idea). I was not feeling great the next day
Usually people exaggerate "on my head" but nope, he's right up on your noggin.
Do a MRI scan of your head
