Problem: Article: When you give your kitten food and water, it will come to know you as a caretaker or surrogate mother. This can help you earn a kitten's trust. Place the food and water in pet dishes. Don't use regular plates and bowls or your kitten will come to believe that when you are eating, you're taking its food. The best pet dishes for kittens are made of ceramic or glass. Unlike flimsy tin or plastic dishes, they are unlikely to spill. Plastic dishes, moreover, can leach chemicals your kitten's water. If your kitten does not have a place to do its business, it will be difficult for it to bond with you. To earn a cat's trust, place a litterbox in a quiet, low-traffic area of the house. Don't place the litter box near the furnace or washing machine. These loud areas will scare the kitten. Don't place the litterbox in the corner of a room or in a closet. These spaces will make the cat feel trapped and disinclined to use the litter box. If you regularly bring gifts to your cat, it will soon come to trust you as someone who is kind and good-hearted. Each cat has different playtime preferences, so provide many different balls, string toys, and other toys. When you've identified a toy that your kitten particularly likes, spend most of your playtime with that toy.
Summary: Give your cat food and water. Provide a litter box. Obtain a variety of toys for your kitten.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Compulsive shoppers often cannot control their spending habits and become emotional spenders. They "shop till they drop" and then they keep shopping. But compulsive shopping and spending generally makes a person feel worse, rather than better, about themselves. Compulsive shopping usually affects women more than men. Women with compulsive shopping issues usually have racks of clothing with the tags still on them. They will go to the mall with the intention of buying just one item and come home with bags of clothing. Compulsive shopping can be a seasonal balm for depression, anxiety, and loneliness during the holiday season. It can also occur when a person feels depressed, lonely and angry. Do you go on weekly shopping sprees? Do you continually spend more than you can afford? Do you get a certain rush when you go shopping and buying things you don't need? You may feel a certain "high" when buying many things on a weekly basis. Notice if you have large amounts of debt on your credit card or multiple credit cards. You may also hide your purchases from concerned family members or partners. Or you may try to cover up your spending by taking on a part-time job to supplement your spending habits. Individuals who have a compulsive spending problem will likely be in denial and have a hard time admitting they have a problem. Compulsive shopping is considered an addiction. So talking to a professional therapist or going into a support group for compulsive shoppers are both important ways you can address the issue and work to resolve it. During therapy, you may identify the underlying issues behind your compulsive spending and acknowledge the dangers of over spending. Therapy can also offer healthy alternative ways to cope with your emotional issues.

SUMMARY: Understand the characteristics of compulsive shopping. Recognize the signs of compulsive shopping. Talk to a therapist.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Eat a light, healthy meal rich in protein, healthy fats, and fruits and vegetables before each jogging session. To give your food time to digest and avoid discomfort, wait at least a couple of hours after a full meal before you jog, or between 30 minutes and 2 hours if you've had a smaller snack. Good sources of protein include poultry breast, seafood, beans and peas, and low-fat dairy products. Healthy protein can help give you energy for your jog. It will also promote muscle growth and repair as you recover from your workout. If you're jogging for weight loss, try increasing your overall intake of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks, processed foods, and greasy foods. Before you dive into a running routine, begin by walking, particularly if you're new to exercise or out of shape. Start by walking for 15-20 minutes a day 3-4 times a week. From there, gradually increase the pace of your walking until jogging becomes the next logical step. Once you're ready to start jogging, it's still a good idea to start each run at a brisk walking pace. Walking first will help you warm up. To get your blood pumping and prevent injury to your muscles and tendons, it's very important to warm up before you jog. Spend at least 5 minutes before each jogging session doing a light warmup routine that targets your legs and lower body. Some good warmup exercises include: Brisk walking Marching in place Doing knee lifts Side-stepping Climbing stairs When you begin running, even if you're in shape from another sport, you're using new muscles and will have to adjust accordingly. So, start off slow. For example, during your first few runs, you might alternate between jogging for 5 minutes and walking for 2 minutes for the entire run. As you get used to jogging, you'll eventually be able to maintain a running pace for a longer period of time before you switch back to walking. Though most people assume how far and how long you run has purely to do with endurance and determination, having the proper running form actually significantly impacts your performance. To make the most of your run and prevent injuries, remember to: Keep your head straight and your neck and jaw muscles relaxed Relax your shoulders and keep them back and down Bend your arms at a 90 angle and keep your hands relaxed (but not floppy) Lean forward slightly, without bending at the waist Square your hips and keep them stable Avoid lifting your knees too high Strike the ground lightly with the middle of your foot (not your heel or toe) Keep an even rate of breathing while running and breathe with your bellythat is, take deep breaths into your stomach rather than shallow breaths into your chest. Try taking 1 breath for every 2 strides to help keep your breathing regular. You may be tempted to pant or take quick, shallow breaths as you run, but you'll get more oxygen and maintain your energy better if you breathe slowly and deeply. It's easy to get dehydrated while you jog, which can deplete your energy and even endanger your health. Drink at least 16 fluid ounces (470mL) 1-2 hours before you run and take 4-6 swigs of water every 15-20 minutes during your run. After you finish your jog, drink 1416 fluid ounces (410470mL) of fluids, such as a recovery shake or smoothie. Water is usually the best thing you can drink while doing a short jog. If you don't like the taste of water alone, add a splash of lemon or lime juice to give it a flavor boost. If you're running for 60 minutes or more, or if you anticipate other difficult conditions (like uneven terrain or harsh weather), a sports drink can help you keep up your energy. After a run, you can avoid strain on your heart and muscles by doing a cool-down routine. Finish your jog with 5-10 minutes of walking, then do some gentle stretches to relax your muscles. Do deep static stretches and hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds. Do stretches that target your legs and lower back.
Summary:
Fuel your body with a protein-rich meal 2-4 hours before jogging. Build up to jogging with regular walks. Warm up for 5-10 minutes before you jog. Alternate between jogging and walking when you start. Practice proper form while jogging. Breathe regularly as you jog. Stay hydrated while you run. Cool down after you jog with walking and light stretches.
