In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This will work best if you have a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or an electric mixer. Pause to scrape the bowl with a spatula, then mix again. This will help eliminate lumps. If you don't have an electric mixer, you have a few options. You can beat the butter by hand, which will make your arm sore and take a little longer, but will still get the job done. Simply put the butter in a large bowl and mash and beat it with the back of a wooden spoon, scraping it off the sides as you go. A food processor with the chopping blade can also work and should make your frosting extra smooth. You don't want to over-whip the cream cheese and risk runny frosting, so stop mixing once the butter and cream cheese are fully blended. Cutting the cream cheese into smaller chunks can help ensure smooth icing. The amount of powdered sugar you end up using can vary, depending on how sweet you like your frosting. Adding more powdered sugar can also stiffen frosting, which can be helpful if you plan to pipe it onto your dessert. Your finished icing should be thick, creamy, and spreadable, with no lumps. If your icing is too thick, thin it with a splash of milk. Only add about a tablespoon at a time so you don't accidentally overdo it. If your icing tastes too sweet and has lost the cream cheese flavor, a little lemon juice can bring out the tanginess.
Summary: Beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and cream cheese and mix until just combined. Turn the mixer speed to low and gradually add powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you understand your parent's concerns, you can come up with ways to address them. Listen carefully to what your parents say. Don't interrupt, and ask lots of follow-up questions. You might ask, "I know that you don't want me to get a cat. Can you please explain why?" If they say that you won't clean up after the cat, ask, "Why do you think that?" This is especially important if your parents think you won't have time to take care of a cat. Write down all your commitments for every day of the week. Think about school, homework, extracurricular activities, and chores. Then, figure out how you can fit in cat care. Show your completed schedule to your parents. Cats require about an hour of play and attention each day. You'll need to scoop the litter box daily and change it every week or so. You should feed your cat twice a day, make sure they always have fresh water, and clean their water bowl daily. A cat can be expensive. Besides the cost of the cat itself, someone will need to pay for trips to the vet, food, toys, and medicine. Know the numbers so you can start saving money and present the facts to your parents. Getting a cat from a shelter is the cheapest option. You'll probably pay $50-$100. Between medical expenses, food, and supplies, it can cost around $705 per year to own a cat. Start saving your money as soon as possible. Spend less of your allowance, get a job, or ask your parents if you can earn money doing extra chores around the house. Your parents may be able to help you out with the expenses. However, you should contribute as much as you can to the cost of the cat. Do some research about the benefits of owning a cat. List all the reasons why you think a cat would be a good addition to the family. Spend some time thinking of ways to address your parent's concerns. You can deliver this information during a conversation with your parents, or make a powerpoint presentation or a written report. For example, if your parents are afraid that they'll be stuck doing all the cat care, you can point out that you've been really responsible caring for other pets in the past. If your parents are worried about messes, talk about how you'll prevent messes and address them when they occur. You could mention that adopting a cat from a shelter is a charitable act because it gives a needy cat a home. If you made a presentation, run through it a few times until it feels easy. If you're just having a traditional conversation, plan out what you want to say beforehand and practice in the mirror. That way, you'll remember to discuss all your key points. There is a variety of hypoallergenic cat breeds. If your family has no access to any hypoallergenic cats somehow, then maybe getting a cat might not be the best idea. As awesome as cats are, cat allergies can be pretty troublesome. If a family member has a cat allergy, you probably won't have much luck convincing your parents to let you get a cat, unless you can get a hypoallergenic cat. Consider a different pet instead, if this is the case for you. If you're really passionate about cats and you are unable to have one as a pet, try volunteering at your local shelter to spend time with the kitties there.
Summary:
Ask your parents why they don't want a cat. Make a weekly cat care schedule. Research the cost of adoption and care. Save money to pay for your cat and cat-related expenses. Create a presentation or speech about the benefits of cat ownership. Practice your presentation or speech ahead of time. If a family member has an allergy, then having them consider getting a hypoallergenic cat might be a good idea.
