Article: The wrong way to introduce a new cat is to let her roam right when you get her. Do not let her into the main house and let her explore. Not only will she feel overwhelmed and stressed, but your established pets will view her as invading their territory and are likely to chase her. This will compound and legitimize her distress and fear. When you bring her home, put her directly into the safe room to get acclimated before letting her roam the rest of the house. If you want to make your new cat feel at home, give her lots of love. Don't constantly pet the cat, especially if she doesn't like it. Instead, spend as much time in the safe room as possible. This will make her more comfortable and less anxious. Also let her explore you. Lie down on the floor to reduce your height, which makes you less intimidating. Hang out around her and let her smell you, walk around you, brush up against you, or even climb on you. Getting to know you will help transition her to the rest of her environment. Do this before you start hugging her or picking her up. Have cat treats on you. When she approaches, offer some treats either by tossing them on the floor to land near her, or offering them out on a flat hand. Play with her as much as you can, whether you're playing with a dangly toy or moving a laser pointer around the room. Just wait a few days before you start using interactive toys or she may be overwhelmed. Avoid looking directly at the cat because staring is a sign of aggression to her. Watch her from the corner of your eye and be sure to blink regularly, which will help to put her at ease. If she is hides often, give her plenty of time before offering to let her explore beyond the cat room. If she seems bold and is regularly waiting at the door, consider leaving the door ajar after a week so she can explore further. This time period can vary. If your cat is rambunctious and clawing at the door after just a few days, you shouldn't make her feel trapped in the one room and let her explore. On the other hand, if she still seems frightened by the new environment and has made no attempts to leave the room in over a week, give her more time to get adjusted. If you introduce your new cat to the family in the middle of a hectic time, such as the holiday season, she will be overwhelmed by the sounds and smells of the people and events. If you bring your new cat home when you're too stressed out or too busy to spend time with her, she'll feel very lonely.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't let the cat out to roam. Give the cat lots of love. Judge how confident your new cat is. Avoid introductions during stressful times.
Article: Kalanchoe need plenty of sunlight, no matter if you are growing the plant from a cutting or have bought it fully grown. If you are growing the kalanchoe inside, place it in a south-facing window in winter for direct sunlight, and in an east or west window for bright indirect sunlight in the summer. During the summer, too much direct sunlight can harm your plant. Like most succulents, kalanchoe grow best in moderate to warm temperatures. Kalanchoe do well in typical household temperatures, but if you are growing kalanchoe outside in pots, take them in whenever the temperature drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees C). Kalanchoe need a very specific amount of water so that they receive the proper nourishment but don't suffer from overwatering. When the soil is dry, water the plant deeply until water comes out of the bottom holes of the pot and pools in the drainage tray. Remove the tray from the bottom and pour out the water, then place the tray back under the pot. Allow the soil to dry completely, about a week and a half, then water again. Though kalanchoe are relatively self-sufficient plants, they do benefit from occasional fertilizing. Use a balanced, organic fertilizer such as a 20-20-20. To apply the fertilizer, follow the instructions on the label, making sure not to apply more fertilizer than the label advises. If you buy your plant from a store, it should come fertilized and you shouldn't have to worry about it for a couple of months or so.

Give kalanchoe enough sunlight. Keep kalanchoe in moderate to warm temperatures. Water kalanchoe about every week and a half. Fertilize your kalanchoe once a month.
Article: If a culture or other test identified an infection, your doctor will likely recommend an antiviral or antibiotic medication. Take any medication according to their instructions. Schedule a follow-up appointment if you don't feel better after a few days. If your primary doctor suspects your high WBC count is due to arthritis or a digestive issue, they'll refer you to the appropriate specialist. Your specialist will recommend medication or dietary changes to help manage the underlying condition. You doctor may recommend more tests if your counts are over 100,000. This may include blood smears or a bone marrow test. In the rare event that you do have cancer, a team of doctors will develop a treatment plan.
