Problem: Article: Following the vet's instructions, treat your cat's ear mites to eliminate the problem. Never treat ear mites without having them diagnosed by a vet. Anti-mite solutions could easily irritate or worsen problems with similar symptoms to ear mites.. Regular and thorough ear-cleaning is required to cure ear mites. Commercial cleaner is usually used to clear the ear of debris, followed by cleaning with prescription ointments. A cat's tail should be cleaned as well, as they frequently wrap themselves in their tails to sleep. This means eggs and mites can spread to the surrounding fur. Ointments and pesticides prescribed by your doctor should be used for 7 to 10 days following an outbreak. If you have any other pets in your home, clean their ears as well as ear mites have likely spread. Cats can be stubborn about taking medication. Have a friend help you if your cat is particularly resistant to treatment. Try to limit your cat's interactions with places and situations that expose him to ear mites. If you have an outdoor cat, you might consider keeping him inside if he is prone to frequent ear mite outbreaks. However, outdoor cats can be difficult to keep inside if they're accustom to coming and going as they please. If your cat suffers from Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) he should not go outside. Not only does his weakened immune system make him more susceptible to ear mites, the spread of FIV can be prevented by limiting his exposure to strange cats. Be wary of animal shelters and pet stores where ear mite outbreaks are common. Check all incoming kittens and cats for signs of ear mites before releasing them into your home. Items cats use frequently should be washed after an outbreak.
Summary: Treat your cat's ear mites. Avoid past mistakes. Wash a cat's bedding and toys.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Check how loose the chair legs are, as well as the back of the chair, by pushing and pulling them back and forth to see how much movement they have. There should be virtually no movement. You can either flip the chair upside down on a table or on another chair so that you can more easily access the problem area. This will also prevent any unwanted pressure on the legs or back of the chair when you are working. There are many types of strong wood glue products you can purchase to stabilize loose leg joints. When you locate a loose joint, push wood glue into the joint and let it dry completely before flipping the chair back over. Wipe away any access glue that comes out of the joint with a wet rag. To create a thicker wood glue consistency, try adding wood filler to the glue. A thicker mixture can better help stabilize wobbly chair legs. For very loose legs that seem to need more than glue, remove the chair leg completely, and use a wood-swelling liquid. Sometimes, dowels can shrink, causing chair parts to become loose. When you apply a wood-swelling liquid to the dowel, it will allow the dowel to once again become secure in the chair. If the hardware in the chair seem to be loose or no good anymore, you can replace them with new ones. Even if you don't want to remove the existing hardware, you can add reinforcement with more nails or bracket hinges to make the chair sturdy. When putting in more screws, make sure they are long enough to secure the wood, but not long enough to come through the other side of the wood.

SUMMARY: Inspect the wooden chair for loose legs, screw, or nails. Position the chair you are working on upside down. Apply glue to loose joints. Expand the dowels with wood-swelling liquids. Replace the nails or wooden joint plugs.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Drinking a nutritionally complete protein shake is a great way to start your day, or to provide yourself with an easy lunch or supper replacement on the go. Start by adding 1 or 2 scoops of your favorite protein powder to a blender. Since men and women have different nutritional needs, it is recommended that women go for 1 scoop of powder while men add two. The recommended amounts for each sex are only a suggestion. Add more or less protein powder depending on your personal needs. To add vitamins and fiber to your drink, choose an easy-to-blend vegetable to include. Opt for a vegetable with a light flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients. Wash and dry the vegetable and cut it up as much as possible to make it easier to blend. Spinach is a great, nutrient-rich vegetable option. Kale and beet greens are also good choices. If you wish, mix different vegetables into your meal replacement drink. Putting fruit into your protein drink is a good way to boost the vitamin content and well as the overall flavor. Bananas, cherries, and other berries are great choices since they add sweetness and round out the taste of the other ingredients. Be sure to wash the fruit thoroughly and remove any seeds, pits, or peels before blending. Fruit like grapefruit and cranberry might be too bitter to add to a smoothie or their own, but they can be combined with other sweet fruit to even out the taste. A meal replacement drink is not complete without the addition of a healthy source of fat. Nut butters are an excellent option, as well as seeds like flax or chia. Coconut oil is also a great choice that will not overpower the taste of your drink. If you add seeds, make sure to blend your drink thoroughly to break the down as much as possible. Mix the ingredients together in the blender for 30 seconds, then add a splash of a liquid of your choice. This could be water, milk, almond milk, or fruit juice. Blend the drink again. Add more liquid and keep blending until the drink is the consistency that you want.
Summary: Start with 1-2 scoops of protein powder. Add 1 cup of a mild-tasting vegetable, like spinach. Add 1 cup of a flavorful fruit. Include 1-2 spoonfuls of a healthy fat. Mix the ingredients, then blend in a liquid.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To people from other countries, Cockney rhyming slang may seem nonsensical, but the concept is fairly simple. Choose a phrase that rhymes with your intended word and then use that rhyme in place of the intended word. One common example of rhyming slang is saying "apples and pears" in place of "stairs." The last word in this phrase, "pears," rhymes with the actual meaning"stairs." You could say, "Blimey, I have to climb four sets of apples and pears just to get to me flat!" Another example is using "Barney Rubble" to stand in for "trouble." You could say, "Mate, you're sure gonna be in Barney Rubble for that one!" When using Cockney rhymes in a sentence, you don't need to say the whole rhyme. For example, say, "Mum rang me on the dog." The full rhyme would be "dog and bone," in which "bone" is actually the word that rhymes with "phone." Yet, to make it more funand confusingyou only use the first part of the rhyme. Another example is, "Let's head to the nuclear tonight, boys!" In this instance, "nuclear" refers to "nuclear sub(marine)," which stands in for "pub." Do an Internet search or watch some Cockney movies to learn more common rhymes. For instance, use "Ruby" (short for "Ruby Murray") for "curry," "Adam and Eve" for "believe," "kettle and hob" for "watch" (hob rhymes with fob, an old term for a pocket watch), "butcher's" (butcher's hook) for "look," and "trouble and strife" for "wife."
Summary:
Use rhymes in place of the intended word. Say only the first word of the rhyme. Memorize common Cockney rhyming slang.
