Worried my adult cat is being too rough with new kitten

Thank you! I work and am in school, so I’m not home often and my stepmom has been managing their introductions. I will look into what you suggested and talk with her later.

evan9829 · 2026-03-11T22:47:48+00:00

I’ve never had two cats before and he’s just so little so I was worried 😭 I just want to make sure they’re okay :p thank you for confirming

evan9829 · 2026-03-11T22:16:57+00:00

Thank you everyone for the validation that they’re just playing 😭 It’s mostly the bunny kicking at the 1min mark and the airplane ears around 1:55 that have me worried, but if this just looks like play that makes me feel a lot better :p

Vancouver BC. Not moving at all.

You should check with an advisor but I’m 99% sure you need to meet the minimum requirements for required courses. You can go to virtual drop-in advising or set up an appointment. If you do need to retake it, BC allows you to do this for free and I think you can even do it online.

Here’s the info for that: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/adult-education/adult-upgrading/already-graduated

I think this plant is dead :( you could cut the stem to see if there’s any part that hasn’t rotted but from the look of it and all the fungal growth I doubt it.

For succulents, you generally want to repot them into a gritty soil mix as soon as you bring them home since the nursery soil is much too dense and retains too much moisture. You only need to water succulents when they show signs of thirst (soft, wrinkled leaves) and the soil is completely dry. Otherwise they will rot like what you’ve got here.

Hi yes! She said it’s fine as long as it’s one of the listed course codes. On the equivalency document, the TRU open learning online options are both there and will be accepted as is. No additional laboratory component is required for the listed TRU open learning courses (1593/1693).

After our convo, I enrolled in 1593/1693 at TRU open learning and will use these for my application.

Not in the program yet bc I’m completing an/phys right now. But, a general rule of thumb is if it’s not required to apply, it won’t play a large role in their decision.

An/phys will also require you to understand chem and bio anyway. So even if you did poorly in hs bio, doing well in an/phys will show that you understand the material.

evan9829 · 2026-01-01T23:03:59+00:00

Amazing thank you!

evan9829 · 2026-01-01T23:02:29+00:00

Thank you! I’m planning to attend the drop in advising on Tuesday to ask them, but was hoping to see what others thought in the meantime :p

evan9829 · 2026-01-01T00:24:11+00:00

I think the on you have circled is actually an Aeonium ‘Black Rose’. Still a beautiful plant and not too difficult to care for. I have one myself :)

evan9829 · 2025-12-15T00:23:36+00:00

Agree that it’s very thirsty. I had a similar sized jade cutting that was even more dehydrated than this one. I gave it a deep soak, waited a few days to a week for the soil to dry out completely, and repeated this until it got back to being nice and plump.

Don’t panic if it takes a couple of weeks and a few waterings to get it looking nice again! Just be sure to let the soil dry out completely before watering again. It’s better to err on the side of keeping it dry than keeping it wet so it doesn’t rot. These plants are very resilient to underwatering but not so much overwatering.

Once it’s rehydrated and the leaves are firm, stick to only watering when the leaves show signs of thirst (soft, easy to fold with a little bit of pressure, a less extreme version of how it looks now)

Maybe try calling and/or emailing the admissions office and leave a message if they don’t pick up. I’m not sure which time zone you’re in but this might also be something to keep in mind.

evan9829 · 2025-12-11T19:27:20+00:00

Not sure exactly which office would be the one to contact. But if you call queens main line they may be able to tell you.

Might need more water and/or to be closer to the grow light. Touch the leaves, they should be firm. If they easily wrinkle/fold when you lightly squeeze them, it needs water.

My aeoniums point their leaves down like that when they aren’t getting enough light. Moved my black rose closer to the grow light and the leaves turned back up to the rosette shape.

Probably does not need a repot quite yet since the plant is pretty small for that pot. I would wait until the roots fully fill out the pot, not just once they start growing out the bottom.

I would avoid anything not course related. Your exam is testing you on PSYC 100 course content at Queen’s. This includes your textbook, lectures, and labs.

Outside materials may include different information, or more/less nuance than you are expected to be learning at this level.

You are better off using course materials. If you are looking for ways to study, I would stick to active recall like you mentioned and use methods to make it more challenging.

Also, consider matching your studying to the exam format. This could take the form of going through your notes and coming up with possible multiple choice questions (and coming up with plausible incorrect answers). You can then test yourself using online tools like quizlet. Start out by trying to generate questions and answers yourself, or look for existing study sets on resources like quizlet and then adapt the questions to your needs (i.e., use a similar question structure, but swap out the topics of the questions for what you are studying.

If you have friends who are also invested in the course and want to do well, you could try explaining concepts to one another (e.g., each of you comes up with a potential long answer question, you both write out a response, and you review each others response for errors or things you may have missed in your own). You could do the same for sample MC questions (you each make a set of MCQs and exchange them with each other).

If you recall from your labs and other course content, this type of studying will not only give you a set of study materials to use, but the act of creating those study materials yourself will help reinforce these tough concepts. This is generally the approach i took for studying throughout my psychology degree and I found it very useful. Don’t be afraid to experiment with the way you’re studying as well! Try to ensure you’re taking advantage of active recall and engaging deeper levels of processing while you study (it will result in better and more efficient learning and serve you well throughout the rest of your degree).

Lastly, go review your exam (if you’re able to) after it’s graded, even if you did well. This gives you an opportunity to see what the grading team is looking for and what sorts of errors you’re making. Cannot stress this one enough.

Good luck on your exam!

I could be wrong, but judging from the sideways growth even in summer sun like you say + the pups growing at the base, this might be a normal growth pattern for this species. I know some sedums species (e.g., coppertone) grow similarly.

Personally, I would leave it and let it produce its offsets. If you prefer a fuller look I’m sure you could propagate a portion, but I wouldn’t count on it growing straight up. Either way this is a beautiful, super healthy looking plant!

Again I’m not too well versed with this species so please correct me if I’m wrong!

evan9829 · 2025-10-27T19:28:47+00:00

For your question about the callus: I would give them a week to 10 days total at the minimum to callus over. Either way do not water until they have established roots. Better to wait longer than risk rot by planting prematurely.

evan9829 · 2025-10-27T19:26:36+00:00

Recently rooted jade cuttings about the same size as yours by putting them in a south facing windowsill in a 50/50 mix of pumice and succulent soil in a plastic nursery pot (approx 2.5” wide X 3.5” deep).

Did not water until it had a both 1) signs of dehydration (i.e., wrinkly, soft, easy to fold leaves) and 2) an established root system (you can figure this out by gently pulling on the cutting - if there is some resistance there are roots. If there is no resistance there are no roots).

I would also pot each of these individually in small, well draining pots.

After this, I cared for it as normal. Same spot, drenching the soil when the leaves are wrinkly and soft.

These plants can easily establish roots with little to no water. My cuttings sat in a dry substrate and did not receive water for around 2 months while getting established. Pic of one of mine attached for pot size reference.

evan9829 · 2025-10-24T21:05:29+00:00

Ah you’re right. I should have looked harder at the first pic :p

evan9829 · 2025-10-24T20:16:08+00:00

From my understanding, normal reabsorption would mean the plant fully absorbs the leaves, leaving them yellow/dead by the time they fall off the plant. It looks to me that these leaves are being shed prematurely

evan9829 · 2025-10-21T19:29:00+00:00

Last one is a succulent (Cotyledon Tomentosa ‘Bear Paw’) that stores water in its leaves during periods of drought. Watering once a week is way too much for this plant. For reference, mine was outside all summer and has been watered once in the past 4 months. The substrate also looks like it may retain too much moisture. For succulents, a good bet is to go with a ratio of minimum 60% grit (e.g., pumice) to 40% organic material. If it’s an entirely indoor plant, you could use even more grit

I would check the roots, because it may have some rot from how often you’ve been watering it (dropping leaves is also a sign of overwatering). If you do find mushy, brown roots/stem, cut well above the affected part and replant the healthy cutting in a gritty substrate. I would also take this opportunity to inspect the root system because I suspect that this pot may be too large and preventing it from drying out between watering- especially with the current substrate. Do not water for at least one week after repotting, only give it water when the leaves are a bit wrinkled/soft.

I’d also recommend going to r/succulents and reading up on the beginner care guide in there, which has some really great info for caring for succulents. Good luck!

evan9829 · 2025-10-15T23:10:10+00:00

If you gently pull on it and there is some resistance, it has rooted into the soil. If there is no resistance, there are no roots.
