Open ThreadNovember Open Thread – Rants, Raves, etc
How are you? Got anything on your mind? Not sure you want to make a post about it?
Comment here!
This is a general interest discussion community for women. Women can discuss most topics here. Rants, raves, interesting links, career advice, relationship advice, hobbies, interests, chit chat, pet pics, as long as you're a woman and it's not disallowed below it's all free to go here.
Our goal is to provide a friendly and supportive space for the women of Ovarit. This circle is not a "safe space," but it is and will always be a female-only space. This means if you are not female, you will be banned.
This circle is not for general politics or election topics - arguments about politics do not fit within this circle’s mission. This is not a debate circle.
Before posting, please check the list below of other women-only circles to make sure there isn't a community that is dedicated to the topic. Also, please use the feminist circles for feminist topics, such as /o/WomensLiberation and /o/GenderCritical. Posts about male violence belong in /o/NameTheProblem. This circle is not for news about violence.
If any part of your text / link post is about trans, post it to o/GenderCritical. Trans related image posts go in o/TransLogic or o/Radfemmery.
If you post about trans topics in o/Women your post may be locked and / or deleted. We cannot move posts around.
This is a friendly and supportive community for general topics which are not contentious. Posts which start arguments, or which devolve into arguments in the comments, are extremely likely to be removed. This is a friendly and supportive general chat community, not a debate or argument board.
Examples of topics which belong here:
The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here. Thank you for reporting rule violations.
If you are having a mental health or medical emergency, we unfortunately cannot help you. Please call a crisis helpline or use another qualified service.
Personal fundraisers are not allowed.
Do not post rants about other users.
Advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups are only allowed to be posted by users who are level 7 or above and have been on the site for more than six months. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!
Some other circles on Ovarit are also women-only and are focused on specific topics:
/o/WomensHealthLounge: a women-only community to talk about all health topics, including mental health
/o/Fitness: a women-only community to talk about personal fitness
/o/Lesbians: a lesbian-only community
/o/LovingWomen: a community for all women who love, are attracted to, and engage in relationships with women
/o/DetransWomen: a community for female detransitioners and desisters
I wonder if my cats are too loud. They are outside/inside cats and are not only extremely talkative (they meow all the time), they seem to do everything in extra - loud. Their purring, frankly, is not a nice, calming sound, it is more like trying to sleep next to a busy road.
Also, one of them actually managed to train an elderly neighbor to ring the doorbell for him when he feels too lazy to use his cat door.

I’m sorry because that has to be annoying, but this is hilarious 😂
Oh, it is adorable. We only recently moved here and it took this cat about a week to be extremely popular in the whole neighborhood. At our last house, the landlord was the next door neighbor. He worked nightshifts a lot. As not to disturb his wife when he got home, he would sleep on the couch with my cat. Apparently, the cat somehow managed to learn his schedule and waited for him. The landlord got so hooked on the feline company that he actually came looking for my cat. He jumped in front of the moving truck last minute to ask, if the cat maybe could stay with him. If that poor man knew that the little devil made new friends /slaves in no time flat, he'd probably be heartbroken.
I hope your former landlord got a kitty of his own after. They’re great companions.
That said, mine has zero loyalty. Whoever is paying him attention is his best friend. He’ll crawl over guests and the few times we’ve had maintenance people in he sat politely at their feet and gave them this look like “why aren’t you petting me? You are here to adore me, right?”
He had one! His daughter, who lived there as well, had two. My illoyal cat has... Powers, I guess. My other cat reminds me of Lenny from Mice and Men - people don't think much of him and he is huge and somewhat uncattish in his whole behavior (he accidentally pushes people a lot) but he loves me in a fierce and loyal way I secretly enjoy a lot. Superstar cat likes me a lot too, but he is so used to everyone adoring him that he is somehow careless.
Cats are the best.
I wonder that about my younger one. She screams when I go next door to my mum’s unit, and I can hear her from there (they have connecting walls). She also screams when it’s time for 11pm or 4am playtime, and I worry my neighbour on the other side will hear her.
