After finding that her Instagram page was banned about six weeks ago, Lisa Holder, owner of TikTok famous sphynx cat Nudacris, became confused. She only posts photos and videos of her naked cat tribe (and one furred kitty) and no reason was given as to why she no longer had access to her account. She appealed, got it back and thought that was the end of the drama. But sadly, she was wrong.

In the past six weeks, she's been banned about eight times, and it seems to be picking up speed, with her account randomly missing nearly every other day now. So, a petition was started to help her get someone's attention to the absurdity and bring awareness that this insanity is going on.

Lisa Holder's Instagram Page Is There One Day, Gone The Next!

While Holder is more active on TikTok, she also shares her content on Instagram, because we all know that lingering feeling that TikTok could possibly be banned one day. But now she's experiencing the fear of being banned on Instagram rather than TikTok and for no good reason.

At this point, it's quite laughable to anyone who hears why her page keeps getting banned.

"It's been humorous. At first, I thought someone was reporting me," she exclusively told The Blast. "The reason Instagram gives is for sexual images, sexual solicitation, and sexually explicit photos."

Anyone who's ever visited her TikTok or Instagram page knows that's absolutely incorrect. A cat with no fur being flagged as sexually explicit sounds like there's a glitch in the system, and a comical one at that.

And the fact that the ban keeps happening would mean if a person was reporting her repeatedly, they would have to be dedicating their entire life to the cause because of the timing of the bans.

Then at one point, she was told it's not necessarily that the cats are naked, but something even more absurd, and this reason lines up with the amount of bans that have happened.

"I reached out to somebody at Instagram through chat and he told me that the AI thinks my cats' names are porn star names," she said. "He told me to change my cats' names. That's not happening."

For people who are unaware, the cats have unique names - Nudacris Skin, Khaleesi Nude, Boris Naked, and then the one and only furred cat is Kitty Koture.

The first time she was banned and appealed, she got her page back almost immediately and she was in the clear for two weeks. Then she was banned again and that's when the insane cycle of every few days began. From the time her account is banned, she must wait a full 24 hours to appeal so the process takes days and then within a day of regaining access, the cycle begins again.

Holder was also told something that has her rightfully concerned. "I was told that after so many bans, my page could be banned forever," she said.

Lisa Holder Has Shared Her Instagram Banning Experiences On TikTok

Holder has been vocal about the frustrating situation and her loyal followers can't believe this keeps happening. Some of her followers also have naked cats and have been banned on Instagram but just a random time and not like Holder is experiencing.

In early April, she first shared the news about her Instagram account ban in a TikTok video. Just four days later, she shared another video explaining that her page was once again banned.

A few days after that, she shared another video to tell the story about the cats' names being blamed for the regular bans. A few days after that, another video about being banned again.

Holder's most recent video explains the online petition that will hopefully help her get to the bottom of this insanity with Instagram and maybe bring a new level of awareness to them that their system is flawed and needs some updating.

The petition can be found on change.org. It's easy to help Holder out with just a signature. Many people who signed also shared why they are trying to help Holder get this situation straightened out once and for all.

"I’m signing this petition because it’s insane that this acct be banned everyday because of the cats’ names," said Marina Hopkins.

"My cats name is Kingy, so I'm wondering if I should expect a call from Buckingham Palace!? This is so silly that no-one working for Instagram, is actually bothering to check that Nudacris is a cat," wrote Carwen Jenkins.

"Lisa has great content and her cats are beautiful. With the bad content out there, stop focusing on a creator that is innocent," wrote Leisa McNamee.

Let's all help Lisa Holder and Nudacris by signing!
