In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you notice a stain on your felt hat, use a gum eraser or clean makeup sponge to remove it. Gently dab the stain (or smudge) to try to remove it. Alternatively, purchase a dry cleaning sponge from a hardware store (designed to absorb dust, dirt, and soot) to remove stains. If you notice a grease stain on your hat, sprinkle some corn starch directly onto it (approximately 0.5 tbsp - 0.25 oz). Rub it into the stain gently. After 5-10 minutes, brush it away to see if it has absorbed the stain. Use a cloth dampened with fabric stain remover to wipe stains. For a gentle stain remover, purchase Woolite fabric stain remover. After treating stains, rinse the cloth and re-wipe stains to remove stain remover from the hat.
Summary: Use an eraser or make up sponge. Sprinkle corn starch on stains. Brush with fabric stain remover.

Before you put your cat on a diet, it's important to determine whether or not your cat really needs to lose weight. A body condition score consists of a scale from one to fivewith five being obese and one being emaciated. An ideal score is three. Rate your cat on the scale according to the following standards: Score 1: Ribs, spine, and pelvis stick out and can be seen even at a distance. The cat has no body fat and looks starved and bony. Score 2: Ribs, spine, and pelvis can be easily felt. Viewed from above, the cat has a distinct waist. Viewed from the side, the belly is tucked up. The cat looks thin. Score 3: Ribs and spine can be felt but not seen. The cat has a slight waist when viewed from above, and a level (but not saggy) tummy from the side. Ideal. Score 4: Ribs and spine difficult to locate. Pear-shaped tummy from above and sagging down from the side. Can be described as chunky or stout. Score 5: Bony landmarks obscured by fat. Thick cover of fat over chest and tummy. Oval silhouette. Obese. If your cat's body condition rates as a four or five, then see your veterinarian for more guidance. Your veterinarian will have tools to determine the target weight for your cat based on your cat's exact size, using a series of measurements such as the length of your cat's head, width of head, backbone length, radius of the wrist, and girth measurement. The visit to the vet is equally important because your vet will perform a physical exam of your cat to ensure that simple overeating is the cause of your cat's weight problem and not a more serious medical condition. Several methods are available to help your cat lose weight. When your veterinarian sets a target weight for your cat, discuss the various options available. Your vet will likely recommend a combination of options that may include restricting your cat's caloric intake, putting your cat on a metabolic diet, and/or making changes to the cat's lifestyle. Regardless of the strategy you and your vet determine is best for your cat, prepare for a long-term commitment because gradual weight loss is healthier for your cat than a sudden change. In fact, starving your cat puts her at risk for developing hepatic lipidosis (or fatty liver disease), which is where an abundance of fat stores overwhelm and affect the functioning of your cat's liver.

Problem: Article: Hyperinsulinemia is an excessive level of insulin. It is sometimes confused with diabetes or hypoglycemia, but it is a different condition. For women with PCOS, it results from your body having a tendency to resist the effects of insulin. Visit your doctor if you experience some of the following symptoms: Weight gain Sugar cravings Feeling hungry frequently or intensely Difficulty concentrating or staying motivated Anxiety or panic Fatigue As a symptom of PCOS, hyperinsulinemia is connected to the increased production of androgens. This can cause oily skin, acne, facial and body hair. In addition, you may gain weight around your abdomen. If your doctor suspects you have hyperinsulinemia, she will likely order a glucose tolerance test (GTT). Treatment for hyperinsulinemia includes a diet and exercise plan and may also include a drug called Metformin, which can reduce your insulin levels. Whether your doctor prescribes Metformin or not, ask for a referral to a dietician. A good nutrition plan is a crucial part of treatment. Check fasting insulin, glucose, hemoglobin A1c and c-peptide levels. Although there is no definitive test to diagnose insulin resistance, these levels are often higher than normal in PCOS patients with insulin resistance. If you are struggling to get pregnant and you have irregular periods, you may have polycystic ovary syndrome. In fact, PCOS is the most common cause of infertility. Irregular or absent ovulation makes it difficult or impossible to conceive. Higher hormone levels sometimes increase the risk of miscarriage in women with PCOS who do manage to get pregnant. See your doctor if you cannot get pregnant. Obesity is always a health concern, but it may also be a sign of PCOS. Because of increased levels of insulin, women with PCOS often accumulate fat around the waist and wind up with a pear-shaped appearance, and they typically have a difficult time losing weight. About 38% of women with PCOS are obese. An obese adult typically has a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. If you have PCOS, you may develop velvety, light brown or black patches of skin on your neck, armpits, thighs, and breasts (these are called acanthosis nigricans). You may also develop skin tags. These are small flaps of skin, which often occur in the armpits or on the neck. Some women with PCOS experience pain or discomfort in the pelvis, abdomen or lower back. Pain may be dull or stabbing, and it may range in intensity from mild to severe. The pain or discomfort may be similar to the pain you feel at the beginning of a menstrual period. Some women with PCOS have sleep apnea, a condition in which you snore and stop breathing periodically while asleep. This can result either from increased estrogen and testosterone levels or from obesity, both of which are associated with PCOS. Women with PCOS seem to be quite susceptible to anxiety and depression. These symptoms may have physical causes, such as hormonal imbalances. They may be a reaction to the other symptoms, especially infertility. PCOS can be a hereditary condition. If your mother or sister has PCOS, you may also develop it. Consider your family's medical history to determine if you are predisposed to having PCOS. It is common for women with PCOS to have family members who have diabetes. It is common for women with PCOS to have been unusually small or unusually large babies at birth.
Summary:
Watch for hyperinsulinemia. Pay attention to infertility. Take obesity seriously. Look for skin changes. Track pelvic and abdomen pain. Monitor the quality of your sleep. Be aware of any psychological symptoms. Examine your family history.
