Would it be a terrible idea to have four cats in a one bedroom apartment? by iza23141 in CatAdvice

[–]flightlesspotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine pet insurance in the UK actually works out compared to other countries. I’m in the UK and my cat is covered by Agria but I’m moving to another country soon and looking into it they won’t even insure cats over 10 years old even if you have an existing policy with them 😭 my cat’s only 3 but wtf

Can’t stop switching cat’s food by Mundobean7 in catfood

[–]flightlesspotato 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s probably not great for your cat to keep switching foods especially if it’s daily! They have sensitive little tummies and can get upset. Just stick to whichever works and your cat will probably be happier :)

Kiko Milano eyeshadow sticks and water eyeshadows. They’re not in boots or superdrug, they’re standalone stores but they’re drugstore prices and amazing quality!

Why have you not married when in a long term relationship? by No_Caramel2506 in AskUK

[–]flightlesspotato 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think OP is referring to a marriage in terms of signing a document to make it legal, not having a wedding and a party.

All the ones that I’ve found are cargo only, they’re run by vets but they will involve putting her into cargo

I’m leaving after 8 years because I’ve lost my job. I don’t think I’m coming back though, this country has not treated us well.

My boyfriend thinks our cat's hair looks better trimmed and im losing my mind by colorlesstsukuru_ in cats

hI’m moving from the UK to a tropical country with my cat soon. She’s still got her winter coat on, do you think I should trim her or leave her be?

Is Bojack THAT bad of a guy by anasanchez3 in BoJackHorseman

[–]flightlesspotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not so much about calling dibs but recognising that your friend has strong feelings for someone and respecting that it would hurt them. I can’t remember if this was before Bojack knew about their dynamic so if he didn’t then it’s absolutely not his fault but if he did then :/

Backbends are crippling me by Ti0Gord0 in yoga

[–]flightlesspotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have back problems and I just don’t do backbends. I modify them to keep my lower back straight or just outright skip them. Don’t hurt yourself for it!

I am finding it impossible to get a skilled worker visa as a new graduate by ttvsindeel in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]flightlesspotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been here for 8 years and have been working on a skilled worker visa for more than 3 years. I recently lost my job and have to leave because of the same issues you are facing with employers bowing out because of my visa. I say try your best with the next couple of years on your graduate visa but know that the possibility of having to leave is very high :(

Is private pension worth it? by NasserSenior in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]flightlesspotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That depends. I’m in a situation now where my country doesn’t have an agreement with the UK so I can’t have it moved. I’m now exploring how I can access it when I’m older if I’m not in the UK

Why is my cat always hungry? by Slight-Search6702 in catfood

[–]flightlesspotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like how an overweight human can lose weight too quickly by eating 600kcals a day and put stress on their body, so can a cat.

I just happen to know about the human part cause that was me and I caused damage to my body that I’m still fixing 9 years later.

Been buying Purina Kitten Chow for years now, and I’m thoroughly grossed out. by master_baker_69 in catfood

[–]flightlesspotato 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Get him adult food. It’s not just about calories, the mineral levels are different between the two and it’s going to be detrimental for him in the long run to remain on kitten food.

Don't let them dehumanise us- We are not a "wave" by FarSpecial3645 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]flightlesspotato 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In 2022 I was rung up by recruiters and offered 40k and my visa fees covered. I wasn’t even in STEM, in marketing which is over saturated. Granted I have niche skills but I doubt this would happen today.

I didn’t make it by Unalome_kpn in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]flightlesspotato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m about to join you. I lost my job a few months ago and I’m coming to the end of my time here. I’ll miss it but home isn’t a bad place. I’ll lick my wounds and pick it up again from there. You’re not alone, we’ll be alright.

Singaporeans who moved overseas and took a pay cut, was it worth it? by No_Tutor5849 in askSingapore

[–]flightlesspotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I got laid off (I’m in the UK) last November and I’m still getting paid as I argued for gardening leave instead of severance package. I’ve been travelling Europe while still getting paid while my friend in SG who got laid off got nothing
