Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Involve your cat in your bedtime routine. Ignore your cat when you are sleeping. Don't get frustrated. Finished.

Answer: Cats are known for their love of routine. By having a routine that ends with you sleeping, your cat will eventually be able to understand the signs of bedtime. Be sure to do the same activities in the same order every night; brush your teeth, change your clothes, make the bed, and turn off the lights. Even if your cat isn't watching you, sounds of your bedtime routine will travel throughout the home. Set aside certain fun activities that your cat enjoys that only happen before bedtime. You can: Groom your cat. Cuddle in bed. Brush your cat's teeth. Feed special treats. Lead your cat to their sleeping area. The first few days or weeks may be difficult for both you and your cat, especially if you have a restless or aggressive cat. Your cat might come up to you for pets or whine at you for hours. And then you may be tempted to get up and tend to your cat. By doing this, you are giving it the attention that encourages unwanted behaviour from your cat, even if you're giving it positive attention. By ignoring your cat night after night, you are telling your cat that no matter what they do, nothing will happen. Their unwanted behaviour should eventually stop. Avoid getting up to get a drink of water or to use the washroom. Plan ahead as much as possible until your cat establishes the routine of going to sleep. Consider leaving your cat outside of the bedroom. In some cases, your cat may be too difficult to ignore while they are in the room. Do not give in and open the door for it or talk to it from inside the room. Establishing a bedtime routine with your cat may take a few weeks and you may need to make a few sacrifices. With any behavioural training, time and patience is always the key. Even though you are trying to change your cat, you will also have to change. Sometimes pet training is more about compromise than about the success of learning a new behaviour. Remember, your cat is also a living thing with feelings, thoughts, preferences, and a unique personality.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Design your lettering. Purchase some letter stencils.

Answer: If you are someone who is confident in their freehand ability, you can certainly skip this step. However, if you aren't confident in your freehanding and want to ensure that you get perfect, even letters, you can design them on a computer. Using Microsoft Word, you can type in your letters and then trace them onto the wood. Open Microsoft Word, click on the "File" menu, and select "Page Setup." Select the paper size that matches the size of the wood you'll be painting, or enter in your own custom size. Type your lettering in the document, however you want it to look on the wood. Because the page is set to the size of the wood, you can design it with the proper measurements in mind. Print your document. You can find pre-cut stencils at your local craft store, and they are perfect for painting letters on wood. You can also order these stencils online if you are looking for a very particular size or font. For best results, you will also need a stencil paintbrush, as well as spray adhesive. Take your time to line up the stencil onto the wood, exactly as you want your lettering to line up. Use a pencil to mark up the stencil to show where it should lay on the wood. Shake your can of spray adhesive, and then spray a light coat on the stencil. This will allow it to stick to the wood, ensuring that it doesn't shift or smear during the painting process. Once your stencil is stuck to the wood, use your stencil brush to gently dab acrylic paint onto the wood, through the stencil. Allow your paint to dry for a few minutes before peeling the stencil off the wood.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stretch first. Get in position. Plant your hands directly below your navel. Tighten your abs.

Answer:
This will help your body feel limber and warmed up, making it easier to planche. Proper stretching is a vital part of avoiding preventable injury. A planche is an advanced technique, so you'll need your body in its best order before you attempt it. Touch your toes. Keep your legs as straight as possible. Circle your wrists and hips. Stretch your arms by Crossing one arm over your chest and holding the elbow with the opposite hand; repeat on the other side. Crouch between either push-up bars or parallel bars with your hands grasping the bars on either side. If you don't wish to perform the planche on bars, squat down on the floor with your hands planted on either side of you. Make sure your hands are planted a comfortable distance apart, so you'll be able to support your body adequately. Placement of your hands during a full planche is extremely important to its success. Before you lift yourself up, make sure your hands are planted facing forwards, roughly parallel to where your belly button will be when you lift yourself up. Experiment with different hand grips before you find one that works best for you. Tightening your body will help ensure your body's trunk is firm throughout the planche. Because proper balance is so important during the planche, you need to keep your body straight. Tightening in your abdominal muscles will help keep your body rigid.
