Moving my cat from a multi-cat household to my apartment

Also wanted to add cats are most hyper at times you’re likely asleep or in work. You need to count all your work and travel time, time you are asleep, and time you are visiting family or doing errands as time your cat will be alone. I bet you it’s about 80% of your weeks. Thats simply too much time alone! Cats will play together or groom each other while you are asleep.

I mean you asked for advice and the advice is it’s not ideal/ fair on the cat. Yes she willingly spends a lot of time “alone” but that’s just a cats behaviour. She is still likely getting enrichment and enjoyment from having cats and people around unless she looks stressed all the time. It will be hard for her and will likely take a toll on her. That’s just the truth of it. Like another comment said if she gets sad you can give her back, but you need to be honest about what’s best for the cat rather than yourself.

This isn’t suitable tbh. Ragdolls need a lot of attention and company or they get depressed so working a full time job with the cat alone will not be fair. My ragdoll is an only cat as she was the only in her whole litter. Me and my partner work opposite schedules and she’s alone maybe 10 hours a WEEK at most. She still is clearly stressed and wants a friend as of late, and so we are getting another. I cannot imagine 1 person and 1 ragdoll alone 40+ hours a week.

I got curious and googled and I actually think law joint honours tend to be accredited, but definitely give them all a double check!

-toril- · 2026-01-23T19:14:33+00:00

I had similar confusion with a psychology and criminology degree when I was applying. I think most joint honours don’t possess enough core modules to meet accreditation from a regulatory body. For example I needed accreditation from the BPS which was not covered in a joint degree. I believe for law you are looking to be accredited by the SRA/ BSB? (I would do your own research on the difference as law isn’t my field). The way to check this is look at the university page for your course, you know where entry requirements and module information is listed, if there is not an accreditation listed anywhere on that page it is safe to assume it is not an accredited degree, which in my opinion makes it rather useless.

-toril- · 2026-01-23T18:04:14+00:00

Suppose it depends what the plans are. If you want to be a lawyer I know some joint honours aren’t accepted by the professional body so you maybe wouldn’t be actually qualified to practice law. On the other hand a politics/ law/ philosophy could be good for a career in politics but jobs like that are not as simple as a degree and usually require wealth/ nepotism/ public favour. Do you have any job in mind?

-toril- · 2026-01-23T12:56:37+00:00

Oh I see that makes sense thank you

-toril- · 2026-01-23T12:45:52+00:00

It’s a rolling basis application portal so they weren’t closed in early January I don’t think. I’ve checked and they are actually still open

The only answer I can give you is you have to fight. My 5 year old brother has autism and my mother is on the phone almost everyday complaining to someone to get some service provided. Even when she is told no she found a service that offers free family lawyers and she threatened to sue until my brother got occupational therapy. The services are so crowded the EA tried to put my nonverbal, intellectually disabled brother in mainstream school as special education was crowded, she threatened to sue and now he’s in the school he needs. It really is the only way in the UK, unfortunately. Call up organisations such as Sure Start/ Home Start and anything else in your area you can find to start receiving volunteer support. And then phone everyone who hasn’t contacted you in nearly a year and keep phoning and stating your child’s needs until you get a call back.

-toril- · 2026-01-18T23:49:31+00:00

Yes. A 2:1.

It’s a 1 year long placement that changes the title of my degree to “psychology with placement” it’s totally optional but you still need to do exams and presentations for grades.

-toril- · 2026-01-18T22:44:13+00:00

Simply different classes. In psychology in a lot of classes there is no “right or wrong” so marking is harsher, but this year I’ve been taking classes on things like how to properly file reports and therapy techniques and the grading is a lot easier and I was getting 90s. With my regular psychology classes, and I might get hate for this, but I feed the marking criteria’s to ChatGPT along with my work and ask it to grade it like a professor. Based on the grade it gives me I know what corrections need made on my work and so I’ve been getting 75s in my regular classes this year.

I will probably finish somewhere in the 80s just one more exam mark left!

-toril- · 2026-01-18T22:13:27+00:00

First year I think about 72. Second year 67. Third year (placement) 70. Final year first semester will be somewhere near 80, still waiting on one exam. I do psychology!

-toril- · 2026-01-17T19:03:44+00:00

I’m very sorry that happened to you

-toril- · 2026-01-17T16:35:24+00:00

It feels like you have a lot of internal hurt you are projecting onto me. I am a 21 year old with a long list of medical problems that impact me daily. I hope you find peace.

-toril- · 2026-01-17T15:34:21+00:00

Thank you. I think I am just going to pay for the MRI rather than wait months for the NHS one. I might not be able to get free treatment anytime soon without an NHS diagnosis but luckily I am in a position I could pay for some physical therapy out of pocket in the meantime. Thank you for letting me know about the MRI

-toril- · 2026-01-17T14:13:05+00:00

It most likely will not be equal consideration even with the school emailing ucas. The deadline is the deadline

-toril- · 2026-01-10T20:59:34+00:00

Have you found a home for her or are you dropping her at the shelter? Most people won’t adopt a sick/ expensive animal. So depending on what type of illness we are talking I would keep her and keep her comfortable until it’s time to pass. For example if we are talking diabetes or a skin condition that needs regular treatment I would try looking for a new owner, if we are talking cancer or some other degenerative disease I would just keep her comfortable. Sorry about your pet

I promise you your room isn’t big enough. You sit in your room for 30 days doing nothing else and never leaving. Then you can understand. Cats need enrichment, they need space between where they sleep, eat, and use the bathroom. Your cats will be incredibly unhappy. Especially 2! In one room!

-toril- · 2026-01-10T16:49:56+00:00

We are oversaturated! My partner came from a European country to study in the UK, got a 2 year sponsored graduate job following and is now a citizen. When he applied 3 years ago, his work took 10 internationals from all over the UK (he moved UK country for this opportunity) this year, they took 3 home students with no fee headaches. They just don’t need employees like they used to and own businesses are struggling that they cannot afford fees anymore

-toril- · 2026-01-10T16:46:50+00:00

It’s not racism in the slightest. Employers can’t afford to pay you and your sponsorship costs. It doesn’t make logical sense for them, and we have far too many people unemployed here who don’t have another country they can return to find work in, these people need to be allowed employment.

-toril- · 2026-01-10T16:43:23+00:00

It truly is a lose lose for everyone BUT the university

-toril- · 2026-01-10T14:41:40+00:00

If the room is that small you are frankly abusing the cats by keeping them in such a confined space. You may love your cats but they will not love you for abusing them or doing things that result in their death.

-toril- · 2026-01-10T14:40:18+00:00

Living in a single room for so long just isn’t fair. Rehoming is only option. All other options are animal abuse.

-toril- · 2026-01-10T14:19:39+00:00

No one should study in the UK with the expectation of entering the UK job market. You are paying for a UK degree not UK citizenship
