A directory of cat-related subreddits

Authors

Every time I believe I have found all the cat-related subreddits, I discover another one. Eventually, I'd like to have compiled a comprehensive list. If you know of any that are missing, please let me know. Or, better yet, submit a pull request to the GitHub repository.
