Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep detailed notes. Contact your telephone service provider. Give your records to law enforcement. Work with law enforcement to trap the culprit. Consider pressing charges.

Answer: Note the time and date the blocked call was received, and any other details you have about the call. If you end up needing assistance from either your telephone service provider or from law enforcement, both will be more willing to help if you can a establish a pattern and offer detailed records. Keeping a record of what is said during blocked phone calls is also important. Heavy breathing and hangups should be noted, along with any background noises. This can be a 3-digit number if you are using a cell phone or a 1-800 number for general customer service. Your telephone service provider will help advise you and may even help you trace the call. In most cases however you will have to engage local law enforcement to determine the number. Consider using a smartphone app designed to search, identify, and block many different kinds of callers. Truecaller is one such option available on all major platforms like iOS, Android, and Windows while Facebook's Hello is another. If the situation is serious enough and the telephone provider cannot provide a full solution to the issue, inform and work with local law enforcement to identify the caller and to remedy the situation Once law enforcement is involved they may request your help in identifying the offending caller. Cooperating with law enforcement fully is your best bet to solve the issue safely and effectively. Sometimes for a call trace to occur, you will be required to keep the blocked caller on the line for an extended period. During the call law enforcement should be on another line to help identify the individual making the call. Consult your law enforcement contact and if still unsure consider seeking your own legal counsel. While pressing charges can be costly, it is sometimes the only way to end ongoing harassment.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for signs of cat hoarding. Pay attention to cats that do not have their basic needs met. Spot poor skin, coat, and paw condition. Notice untreated wounds at risk of fly strike. Keep an eye out on any neighborhood cat that is repeatedly pregnant. Look for any cats that are especially thin or bony. Look for suspicious injuries to identify intentional abuse. Pay attention to odd behavior. Report abuse to the authorities to stop it.

Answer: Cat hoarders are a type of unintentional abuser, because they keep their cats in overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions. Overcrowding stresses the cats and forces large numbers of cats to live in a space that they would not normally occupy. This leads to bullying and extreme competition for resources, even if food is freely available, because some cats will be more dominant than others and guard the food. The hoarder's environment is also usually dirty, lacking a clean place for the cats to sleep, eat, and use the toilet. Hoarders are often reluctant to receive visitors and act secretively, but the cats are usually easy to spot through the window. Every pet cat has a right to shelter from the wind, rain, sun, and cold, as well as adequate food, fresh water, and sanitation. If these basic principles are not met, it is considered abuse, and can be identified with the following signs: A painfully thin cat may not have enough food to eat. A fainting or very thirsty cat may not have enough water or shade. An antisocial or aggressive cat may have been taken away from his mother prematurely. A cat that is shut in a small space with no ability to play or fulfill her need for movement. A cat that is deprived of companionship or forced to live in an environment with loud music or constant shouting. A cat that does not have a litterbox or access to the outdoors while the owner is away. The cat may have hair loss, open sores, or an angry red rash. The cat's coat may be excessively matted, or infested with fleas and ticks. This can cause the cat to scratch himself raw, or have lots of black, coal-like dust mixed in with her hairs ("flea dirt"). Dab the dirt with a damp cotton towel. A orangey-red stain is blood that indicates a flea infestation. A cat with a tick infestation has lots of grey "bubbles" stuck to his skin, which are the engorging ticks. The cat may have overgrown nails that dig into the pads and cause the pads to bleed, or weep pus from an infection. An untreated open wound on a neglected cat is at risk of "fly strike." This means that flies may lay their eggs in the skin, which then hatch out into maggots. If this has already happened, you may notice cream-colored grubs wriggling in the wound, or a sickly sweet smell from the infected wound. Depending on how much they have fed, the maggots range in size from approximately a hair's width and half a millimeter (1/5 inches) long, to chunky grubs. Repeated pregnancy is also a form of neglect, because letting a female cat produce litter after litter puts a huge drain on the queen's body. Breeding is especially irresponsible if the kittens then mysteriously disappear, or populate the neighborhood with unwanted cats. Young or middle aged cats should be plump or sleek, with well-covered bones. If you stroke a cat and his backbone bumps against your fingers, or if you can easily count each of his ribs, then the cat is underweight. Look for any cats that seem to be regularly injured, cut, or lame. A cat that favors a different leg on different days is especially suspicious, as this is likely caused by repeated injury rather than a chronic medical condition. If you witness the owner in the act of physically abusing a cat, record the time and details and contact the police. Most animals that are being abused give tell-tale signs in their behavior. Commonly, the cats are described as seeming "cowed", hunkering down with dilated eyes, glancing around for an escape route. Some cats become highly aggressive, and lash out at the slightest provocation, since they regard attack as the best form of defense. Never confront the suspected perpetrator but report your suspicions to the authorities. A detailed description or evidence will get your farther than a hunch, so be specific. These include the local law enforcement authority, animal welfare organization, animal control officer, SPCA, or the local animal shelter. Collect information such as dates and times that you think the abuse happened, and if possible, document the evidence with photos or videos.
