I miss Harpo every day I don't see a clip of him, so I make sure to always see a clip of him. Here, on YT or elsewhere. Best cat <3 Thanks for sharing him with us! Please don't stop <3
is your birthday in January? mine too! thought I saw that in something you wrote. Happy Birthday! more than just cake day. you made it thru another trip around the sun!
I don't know if anyone saw this comment on Rain's last Instagram post, but someone who was concerned about her called Harpo's vet's office and asked if they could request a wellness check for her. I really hope that she's okay.
Travel well along that rainbow bridge, sweet beloved Harpo. Please, take an extra frolic in Bast’s endless meadow, you’ve earned it. You are, and will forever be, best cat. Godspeed 🌈💔
Me too. I know she needs time to grieve but I’m also worried. It’s hard to cope with grief when you struggle with depression. I hope Gummitch is helping her heal.
My chest hurts every time I think about how he’s gone and how heartbroken Rain is. I know he lived a long life but still, he just seemed so full of life and spunk. I have lost 4 pets and I know the pain all too well.
So full of life, eagerness to carry toys, singing the song of his people! And he was SO HEALTHY, until that damn vet insisted on the diet change. And even after, he still recovered, over and over again.
Yeah, every pet that passes is still a giant hole in one's life :(
Bast, but it hurts. At least we're not alone in it, I guess?
That's really lovely to hear, as that is exactly why I try to post him every day. He makes me stop doomscrolling, which makes me feel better, so I wanted to do the same for other people.
I just want to say thank you to both you and Harpo. Since I discovered this sub, everytime I get stressed at work etc, I watch a Harpo video and immediately feel calmer! It’s like a mini meditation for me. 🙏🏽
I just wanted to let you know I LOVE HARPO! I think I’ve officially shared every post on your subreddit with my friends. My deaf cat does the same squeak thing after she finishes carrying either a spring or her makeup brush.
I have a cat that looks and SOUNDS so much like Harpo! Sometimes I put on his videos and his yearning sounds make her confused and she tries to look for him!
One person who had no idea about any of that drama posted a video taken from TikTok, which got to number one on the hotlist before the mods noticed and removed it
As mentioned before, just saw Harpo on the new UnusualVideos upload on YouTube, I do agree they should keep put credit inline with the video, at least the tiktok source, I know they add it to the description but I doubt everyone checks there.
I was happy to see people educating others on the comments as to who Harpo is, for people saying how cute he was!
I have four cats, which I do post here, but not nearly as often. When we were living with dogs, it was when the cats were in my room almost all the time, so they never got to know each other properly, but he was the one who was least bothered by them. He was willing to lay near the big friendly one, which made her very happy, as she loved cats, and when the little yappy one tried to get in his face, Harpo schooled his annoying little ass.
Yeah, we chat all day, but he's definitely most vocal when he's fetching. That's actually how he found his voice. He was completely silent as a kitten, and didn't really vocalize beyond going ekekekek at birds and screeching if he got stepped on until he was about four, which is when he first started stealing magnets off the fridge.
Lol, loads of people call it his octopus. I just call it the sea monster partly to differentiate it from his little one, and partly because it reminds me of the monster of a show I watched when I was a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund\_and\_the\_Sea\_Monsters
It's amazing how thin-skinned they are. The one that banned me followed me to other subs too, jumping in any time I answered someone's questions about why Harpo and I had been gone for a couple of weeks, even though I did not criticize them! I just said that the mods started pulling his posts because he was hogging up the hot list, so we agreed that I'd start posting him less and they'd give him his own flair so people could easily find him. But they interpreted that as "attacking the mods and inciting people against them."
Actually, you might be able to report the mod that banned you to reddit perhaps, the mod on the 3ds sub just attacked me again the other day, I didn't even put r/ they just followed me to a cat sub where I kinda angrily mentioned the ban, I ignored them and reported them and then blocked them, I'm sure reddit won't do anything, but it was nice to finally get revenge on them. Idk if they would do anything with your mod, especially when its old, but you never know. 🤷♀️
also mine affected my 3DS too, I have a game on there called badge arcade which is a kinda p2w arcade game, but I have to log in everyday for free tries, missed multiple days because of that mod, i just didn't even want to touch my 3DS.
wow, that really is terrible, most mods on Reddit in general are terrible, it's crazy, you can report a mod but you have to do it on the website or something, and I'm not sure how strict they are with them, I bet if I reported the 3DS one, they won't
(same mod on all 3 things btw, they were not a mod in the Pokemon sub, they also commented like 8 times after I ignored them, and even said on a comment about a custom amiibo that it was psychical hacking but I'm ok with it, which the op used..
then they pursued (is that the word?) me to hack my console, which I refused to do, then they revealed their tag and banned me for a week :/ then I mentioned it on the Pokemon sub, apparently that alerted the mods so the same mod came to attack me :/
cause I didn't know how ONE thing about the street pass function worked, while I do agree my attitude was a little worse then normal, they once again did not have the mod tag, if they did I would've quickly verified that info was legit and apologized
then a mod corrected me, but they didn't have their mod tag, so I didn't know and thought they said that Nintendo wifi connection had never shut down, which it did, then they wanted me to do it (I own a legit diamond cart), then they corrected me
oh gosh, I just went back to read how you got banned from cats who yell, I'm so sorry that happened, I got banned from the 3DS sub cause I thought that to get wifi on Pokemon diamond version, you had to hack your console, which I will never do
Sigh, it was so stupid, and genuinely affected my life in a really significant way. After less than a month of him blowing up on that sub, his followers on other YouTube increased tenfold. Another month and we could have gotten over the monetization threshold, but now we've stalled again. I'm barely hanging on and struggling to stay housed, but when I mentioned that, the mod went OFF on me for "guilt tripping and manipulating" them.
The feeling is mutual. You guys are helping me keep it together in the face of a lot of really intense shit. I feel like I don't have to be afraid of ending up homeless anymore because you guys would have my back if it reached that point, because if I had to take my cats back to the shelter, there would be no more Harpo content.
I just told him you said hi and he meeped. I'd like to be drunk myself but have cut back enormously because I can't afford it financially or physically. Because yeah, north America is fucked up.
I would love to see your klepto kitty! I've tried to get Harpo to take smaller, more solid objects, like the little plastic dinosaurs I played with when I was little, but he wasn't into it. Papers and big flat fridge magnets are his favorite things, so much that he'll often take a detour for them in the middle of a stuffie heist.
reminds me of my favorite cat, he was solid black with a dash of white hairs on his chest & would steal everything, he stole eyeglasses, wallets, keys, food, toys, whatever caught his fancy & was good at it
A very stupid reason to get banned. i am not a supporter of doing something simply because i have the power or ability to do so. At the very least people can now can get uninterrupted Harpo content!
My feed is about 75% cats, and about 40% Harpo - just the way it should be. I can't adopt a cat due to allergies, so it's nice to live vicariously through others!
Yeah, there's a reason why the rules specifically forbid it. Thank you for the kofis! If I wasn't so poor, I'd be buying every trans person with an account kofis today. I hope you're in a state where you're relatively safe.
That feels like a kind of selfish version of being nice; as a trans person who actively wants plastic surgery I would probably write off comments like that as a cynical attempt at hugboxing.
I got permanently banned from the plastic surgery subreddit for being too nice. I kept telling people they were beautiful and didn’t need surgery. I was kind of proud.
His medication is no problem, but he's supposed to have scans every six months, but I simply couldn't do it until the two-year mark, as the treatment cost about 20% of my annual income at the same time I was paying off an eviction that cost a like amount (landlord gave all the long term tenants the boot prior to rent control taking effect.) I was only able to save him thanks to his GoFundMe covering more than half of it. I'm hoping I can get him in around the three-year mark, which about a month away. Plus he's 13 now, so will no doubt have other issues in the next couple of years.
Oh my, I knew harpo was a cancer survivor but I guess it never occurred to me that he would still have expensive care needs. I’m so sorry you received such a negative response from the sub. The fact you are being censored is ridiculous! People can be so cruel. It’s unfortunate and unnecessary. Personally I’m glad you created your own sub for Harpo I pray that it receives the attention you need to care for your boy. I certainly enjoy your videos and will continue to share them with my friends.
That one mod literally attacked me for telling them that the reason it was so important to me was because of how precarious my situation was and how much his popularity was helping/
Yeah, it really sucked, and while I'm enjoying the good vibes of r/Harpo, I'm really missing steady and rapid influx of followers on other platforms that came from people who saw him on CatsWhoYell and wanted to see more.
This is completely insane, I can’t believe it! People love Harpo enough that we asked you to make a whole sub just for him, he’s definitely not hogging space at all. Sorry you had to go through that 😞
Up to that point, I'd been communicating with the mods as a group, but then one of them responded from their individual account, went off on me for "guilt-tripping, victimizing, passive-aggressive behavior," and how I was attacking mods who work so hard for nothing, and on and on. Then they removed every one of my posts, locked all the comments, and deleted all the comments since Christmas, removing every trace of my telling people what had happened.
Between Christmas & the time this happened, I only posted him a couple times, and then finally wrote the mods back to accept their offer of a Harpo flair while asking if I might possibly be allowed to post more than once a week. I explained that Harpo's massive popularity on that sub was driving a lot of traffic to other platforms, and that this was really important, as I'm partially disabled with insecure housing and he's a cancer survivor that needs care I can't afford, thus him going viral enough to earn a little money could help us both survive. I added the caveat that I understood there was no direct fundraising on the sub, which is why I sometimes removed captions from videos before posting them there.
They removed his Merry Christmas post, and said that while I understood why they might remove his COVID PSAs, I couldn't understand why they would remove that, and that I was really hurt by it, as social media was the only social interaction I would have that day. They told me it was because I was posting him too often and he was hogging up the hot list, that from now on I could only post him once a week, and offered him his own flair so people could always find him. I got even more depressed than usual and just stayed away from social media for a couple weeks. When I returned, a lot of people asked where we'd been, so I told them. One mod got really mad about that and started deleting those comments and/or commenting themselves, so I messaged them again, asking if they were really telling me I couldn't tell people what happened. One of them said no, it was OK to share it. I was using simple, neutral language, I was not "attacking the mods and inciting people against them" as that one mod later accused me of.
Aw, thanks! I'm glad you enjoy him, that's why he's here. I had the goal of posting one new heist a day for the entire pandemic, but wasn't able to keep up that pace, as they take a long time.
Hi, u/RainSurname! Just wanted to say my wife and I have fallen in love with little Harpo after discovering your posts a few months ago, and have enjoyed your YT videos as well. He is so sweet and chatty! 🤗
It would be amusing to see what would happen if people other than me started crossposting him there. Maybe to celebrate hitting 1000 members or something.
I feel dumb because I know I never met him in person, but today I can’t keep myself from crying over Harpo and Rain.
that's alright. two days ago (it was my birthday!) i saw this post
https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFind/comments/1mkc604/this_giant_octopus_toy_where_can_you_buy_them_from/
and i know it isn't actually GiantSeaMonster but it still got me. 'cuz i could only just imagine Harpo tryin' to figure out how to get that beastie up the stairs!
That made me tear up and smile at the same time. I think he would’ve gained super powers just to move the thing.
I miss Harpo every day I don't see a clip of him, so I make sure to always see a clip of him. Here, on YT or elsewhere. Best cat <3 Thanks for sharing him with us! Please don't stop <3
Harpo is on YouTube? Omg
Thinking of you and Harpo, Rain.
i got my harpo shirt 🥰🥰🥰🥰

good luck!
is your birthday in January? mine too! thought I saw that in something you wrote. Happy Birthday! more than just cake day. you made it thru another trip around the sun!
We’re concerned, Rain. We care about you.
Thinking of you and the cats Rain, I hope you are safe
Thanks, Harpo. ♥
Thinking of you and hoping you're safe
Thinking of you and sending love.
Hope you're alright Rain. Please let us know. We're all here for you
Thinking about you, Rain, and very worried about you. Please check in when you are able. ❤️
I don't know if anyone saw this comment on Rain's last Instagram post, but someone who was concerned about her called Harpo's vet's office and asked if they could request a wellness check for her. I really hope that she's okay.
Any updates?
Rain! talk to us! don't cut us out! we care about you!
Happy New Year Rain! may it be unimaginably better! wishing you and the kitties all the best!
Travel well along that rainbow bridge, sweet beloved Harpo. Please, take an extra frolic in Bast’s endless meadow, you’ve earned it. You are, and will forever be, best cat. Godspeed 🌈💔
[removed]
Me too. I know she needs time to grieve but I’m also worried. It’s hard to cope with grief when you struggle with depression. I hope Gummitch is helping her heal.
Rain, thank you for sharing the joy of Harpo with the rest of us. While your grief is unique, it is safe to say we are joining you in this sad time.
Please please take care of yourself and give us updates.
I’m so sad :( I’ve been crying yesterday and today
Me too. I just saw there was a post on Instagram about 20 hours ago, one of those "on this day" ones, and I teared up all over again.
I also smile, because Harpo, but... oh, the sadness.
I don't know how to handle this grief. HARPO. Oh, Harpo <3
My chest hurts every time I think about how he’s gone and how heartbroken Rain is. I know he lived a long life but still, he just seemed so full of life and spunk. I have lost 4 pets and I know the pain all too well.
So full of life, eagerness to carry toys, singing the song of his people! And he was SO HEALTHY, until that damn vet insisted on the diet change. And even after, he still recovered, over and over again.
Yeah, every pet that passes is still a giant hole in one's life :(
Bast, but it hurts. At least we're not alone in it, I guess?
Is there a PO box for harpo?
I love Harpo unconditionally and every time I meet a tuxedo cat I think about him, and smile, and am happy because he exists.
That's it. That's the only thing I wanted to say.
I’m glad you enjoy it
*sub omg
me n my boyfriend can’t sleep n just found this sun thank you
Sweet

I especially like the catbus!
What the heck groucho and harpo are mentioned in the show Ted lasso?!
That's really lovely to hear, as that is exactly why I try to post him every day. He makes me stop doomscrolling, which makes me feel better, so I wanted to do the same for other people.
I just want to say thank you to both you and Harpo. Since I discovered this sub, everytime I get stressed at work etc, I watch a Harpo video and immediately feel calmer! It’s like a mini meditation for me. 🙏🏽
Other platforms have fans, but r/Harpo is his online family.
right! we're more than just fans, we're his - and your - family. always remember!
I just discovered this famous squeaker and I wanna say that it’s such a treat and blessing to have this good kitty on Reddit
Omg just realized there’s a whole sub for Harpo, happiest day of my life
Aww, that's so sweet, thank you.
Aww, I want to see her b
I just wanted to let you know I LOVE HARPO! I think I’ve officially shared every post on your subreddit with my friends. My deaf cat does the same squeak thing after she finishes carrying either a spring or her makeup brush.
I know, right?!
Ah, there it is. I really should’ve started watermarking things ages ago
https://youtu.be/GAUDn5CBdjU
Uh Harpo made a guest appearance
That’s so sweet. If you ever get video for reacting to him and want to post it, let me know and I will approve you to do that
I have a cat that looks and SOUNDS so much like Harpo! Sometimes I put on his videos and his yearning sounds make her confused and she tries to look for him!
Subscribed this morning. I love this cat, his little white paws and his toys. Thank you so much for sharing him.

One person who had no idea about any of that drama posted a video taken from TikTok, which got to number one on the hotlist before the mods noticed and removed it
Oh, people have tried & and they cannot. They coded the sub to automatically reject any links from my social media accounts.
Yeah, those accounts are especially bad at crediting animals.
It was a little bothersome because they did credit a lot of the videos but not all of them. And harpo was not one being credited
Ooh, I didn’t see that!
As mentioned before, just saw Harpo on the new UnusualVideos upload on YouTube, I do agree they should keep put credit inline with the video, at least the tiktok source, I know they add it to the description but I doubt everyone checks there.
I was happy to see people educating others on the comments as to who Harpo is, for people saying how cute he was!
I hate those aggregator accounts even as I enjoy their content, because it takes NO EFFORT to credit people.
It’s always proof that you’ve made it unfortunately
Harpo made it to the UNUSUAL MEMES COMPILATION! :) https://youtu.be/REhR2-AfB3s?t=254
The first monetized compilation with no credit! What an important milestone!
thank you for sharing harpo with us.
Well, no, because I'm watching the Jan 6 hearings, but it's a lovely day outside, which is a welcome relief from the heat.
Good morning Harpo, and Harpo's hooman. Hope you're having a lovely day :)
I just found Harpo and i love Harpo
I’m glad you enjoy him!
Does Harpo (& co) have an Amazon wishlist?
I have four cats, which I do post here, but not nearly as often. When we were living with dogs, it was when the cats were in my room almost all the time, so they never got to know each other properly, but he was the one who was least bothered by them. He was willing to lay near the big friendly one, which made her very happy, as she loved cats, and when the little yappy one tried to get in his face, Harpo schooled his annoying little ass.
Does Harpo do well with other animals? Cats? Dogs? Does Harpo have any siblings?
Is Harpo a talker even when he isn’t fetching?
Yeah, we chat all day, but he's definitely most vocal when he's fetching. That's actually how he found his voice. He was completely silent as a kitten, and didn't really vocalize beyond going ekekekek at birds and screeching if he got stepped on until he was about four, which is when he first started stealing magnets off the fridge.
His sea monster, my mistake
Lol, loads of people call it his octopus. I just call it the sea monster partly to differentiate it from his little one, and partly because it reminds me of the monster of a show I watched when I was a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund\_and\_the\_Sea\_Monsters
I just gotta say, his wide waddle he does when he brings you the octopus is my absolute favorite 🤣
It's amazing how thin-skinned they are. The one that banned me followed me to other subs too, jumping in any time I answered someone's questions about why Harpo and I had been gone for a couple of weeks, even though I did not criticize them! I just said that the mods started pulling his posts because he was hogging up the hot list, so we agreed that I'd start posting him less and they'd give him his own flair so people could easily find him.

an official bent shadow Mewtwo card to make it 🤣
(same mod on all 3 things btw, they were not a mod in the Pokemon sub, they also commented like 8 times after I ignored them, and even said on a comment about a custom amiibo that it was psychical hacking but I'm ok with it, which the op used..

Another month and we could have gotten over the monetization threshold, but now we've stalled again. I'm barely hanging on and struggling to stay housed, but when I mentioned that, the mod went OFF on me for "guilt tripping and manipulating" them.
Also I am planning on donating soon, Harpo's too cute to not donate, I love to donate to rescues and stuff, but of course I can't forget harpo 💜🖤
That's very sweet of you, thank you. Earning tips by making people laugh is much better than soliciting donations by making people sad.
Your welcome, Harpo is such an adorable kitty, Definitely one of the smartest cats too! 💜🖤
Thank u so much for this sub man. I love harpo so much he's like part of my routine now
The feeling is mutual. You guys are helping me keep it together in the face of a lot of really intense shit. I feel like I don't have to be afraid of ending up homeless anymore because you guys would have my back if it reached that point, because if I had to take my cats back to the shelter, there would be no more Harpo content.
Wow look at this sub blowing up
I know, right?! When people first started asking for it, I thought it was kind of silly. Who would join a restricted sub based around one cat?
I will 💗
can you reach the stars
north America is fucked up
I just told him you said hi and he meeped. I'd like to be drunk myself but have cut back enormously because I can't afford it financially or physically. Because yeah, north America is fucked up.
I'm so dRUNK
hi Harpo
I believe in Harpo supremacy 🙇
Crown tip
I love you harpo!
And he loves all of you, because he's happier when I'm happier, and the outpouring of love for him makes me happy.
I would love to see your klepto kitty! I've tried to get Harpo to take smaller, more solid objects, like the little plastic dinosaurs I played with when I was little, but he wasn't into it. Papers and big flat fridge magnets are his favorite things, so much that he'll often take a detour for them in the middle of a stuffie heist.
reminds me of my favorite cat, he was solid black with a dash of white hairs on his chest & would steal everything, he stole eyeglasses, wallets, keys, food, toys, whatever caught his fancy & was good at it
A very stupid reason to get banned. i am not a supporter of doing something simply because i have the power or ability to do so. At the very least people can now can get uninterrupted Harpo content!
I've always said it's the people least vested with natural authority that are the most likely to abuse any artificial authority they're given.
Harpo always makes my day better and I love him and you u/RainSurname.
That's what he's here for, and I love you guys too.
My feed is about 75% cats, and about 40% Harpo - just the way it should be. I can't adopt a cat due to allergies, so it's nice to live vicariously through others!
Jackson Galaxy used to be allergic to cats and now he's America's most famous cat whisperer. He made a video about how he got over it.
Yeah, there's a reason why the rules specifically forbid it. Thank you for the kofis! If I wasn't so poor, I'd be buying every trans person with an account kofis today. I hope you're in a state where you're relatively safe.
Anyway, just bought harpo some kofis bc I love him
That feels like a kind of selfish version of being nice; as a trans person who actively wants plastic surgery I would probably write off comments like that as a cynical attempt at hugboxing.
Isn't that against the rules, though?
I got permanently banned from the plastic surgery subreddit for being too nice. I kept telling people they were beautiful and didn’t need surgery. I was kind of proud.
Harpo is so cute
That's so sweet, thank you! I set up https://ko-fi.com/rainsurnamecats so people can tip him for his outstanding service if they want to. : )
On the contrary, it's super cool! Thank you for telling me.
I'm the 1234th member (doesn't matter but I just wanted to say that)
His medication is no problem, but he's supposed to have scans every six months, but I simply couldn't do it until the two-year mark, as the treatment cost about 20% of my annual income at the same time I was paying off an eviction that cost a like amount (landlord gave all the long term tenants the boot prior to rent control taking effect.) I was only able to save him thanks to his GoFundMe covering more than half of it. I'm hoping I can get him in around the three-year mark, which about a month away. Plus he's 13 now, so will no doubt have other issues in the next couple of years.
Is his GoFundMe page still up? I would happily donate to his care!
Oh my, I knew harpo was a cancer survivor but I guess it never occurred to me that he would still have expensive care needs. I’m so sorry you received such a negative response from the sub. The fact you are being censored is ridiculous! People can be so cruel. It’s unfortunate and unnecessary. Personally I’m glad you created your own sub for Harpo I pray that it receives the attention you need to care for your boy. I certainly enjoy your videos and will continue to share them with my friends.
That one mod literally attacked me for telling them that the reason it was so important to me was because of how precarious my situation was and how much his popularity was helping/
Yeah, it really sucked, and while I'm enjoying the good vibes of r/Harpo, I'm really missing steady and rapid influx of followers on other platforms that came from people who saw him on CatsWhoYell and wanted to see more.
This is completely insane, I can’t believe it! People love Harpo enough that we asked you to make a whole sub just for him, he’s definitely not hogging space at all. Sorry you had to go through that 😞
Up to that point, I'd been communicating with the mods as a group, but then one of them responded from their individual account, went off on me for "guilt-tripping, victimizing, passive-aggressive behavior," and how I was attacking mods who work so hard for nothing, and on and on. Then they removed every one of my posts, locked all the comments, and deleted all the comments since Christmas, removing every trace of my telling people what had happened.
Between Christmas & the time this happened, I only posted him a couple times, and then finally wrote the mods back to accept their offer of a Harpo flair while asking if I might possibly be allowed to post more than once a week. I explained that Harpo's massive popularity on that sub was driving a lot of traffic to other platforms, and that this was really important, as I'm partially disabled with insecure housing and he's a cancer survivor that needs care I can't afford, thus him going viral enough to earn a little money could help us both survive. I added the caveat that I understood there was no direct fundraising on the sub, which is why I sometimes removed captions from videos before posting them there.
This is the "incitement" that led to my getting banned. https://www.unddit.com/r/Catswhoyell/comments/ssrvuz/\_/hwzopgx/
They removed his Merry Christmas post, and said that while I understood why they might remove his COVID PSAs, I couldn't understand why they would remove that, and that I was really hurt by it, as social media was the only social interaction I would have that day. They told me it was because I was posting him too often and he was hogging up the hot list, that from now on I could only post him once a week, and offered him his own flair so people could always find him. I got even more depressed than usual and just stayed away from social media for a couple weeks. When I returned, a lot of people asked where we'd been, so I told them. One mod got really mad about that and started deleting those comments and/or commenting themselves, so I messaged them again, asking if they were really telling me I couldn't tell people what happened. One of them said no, it was OK to share it. I was using simple, neutral language, I was not "attacking the mods and inciting people against them" as that one mod later accused me of.
I just found Harpo. He’s such a cutie! Thank you for posting 😊
Aw, thanks! I'm glad you enjoy him, that's why he's here. I had the goal of posting one new heist a day for the entire pandemic, but wasn't able to keep up that pace, as they take a long time.
Hi, u/RainSurname! Just wanted to say my wife and I have fallen in love with little Harpo after discovering your posts a few months ago, and have enjoyed your YT videos as well. He is so sweet and chatty! 🤗
It would be amusing to see what would happen if people other than me started crossposting him there. Maybe to celebrate hitting 1000 members or something.
Would it really be alright with you if we tried to do that?
I hope this is the start of a long future for r/Harpo. I cannot wait.
This is fantastic thanks for setting this up so we get to see harpo again! Sorry about your experience with the mods they suck ❤️
Well, after CatsWhoYell banned me and the mod snarkily wished me the best of luck with my own sub, it seemed like the thing to do.
Why would “CatsWhoYell” ban you? That’s actually how I first found your Harpo posts.
Harpo rocks! Glad you started your own site so we can enjoy his antics and brighten our days.. Thanks🤗
Good morning!
Where is that, if I may ask?
😆
He's more famous than my own king and queen in this country
Harpo the legend!
Lol, I didn't even notice this lounge existed.
HAAARRRPPOOOOO
