I’ve had this cactus for quite a while (probably 2 years) but noticed that for the past couple months the bottom has this yellowing color. Is this from over watering?  
(for context it is by a window and there’s several other cactuses by it that are doing just fine)

My first instinct is that it’s likely rotting from over watering. I would definitely unpot it, check out those roots and go from there.  
This is SUCH a cute cactus, I need one!

Thanks for the advice! The roots didn’t look that bad, so I’ve repotted it and am going to water it less and hope it improves.
