Q: You can buy live traps for catch-and-release, or you can buy "death traps" designed to kill squirrels. Visit a local hunting- and fishing-supply store, look online for "squirrel traps," or hire a professional trapper. If you're up for a project, consider building a squirrel trap from things you might have lying around your home. You can buy various models, but most are metal cages with a trip-lever in the back. The squirrel walks in, drawn by the alluring smell of bait, and trips the lever to shut the door of the cage. This way, you can take the animal alive, without having to kill it or dispose of the remains. Mount this trap on the hole through which the squirrels are entering and exiting. Make sure that the cage is large enough to hold a squirrel. In general, it should be at least 16 inches long, five inches wide, and five inches high. Consider the ethical as well as the practical benefits of using a live trap. Not only do you avoid a messy cleanup, but you avoid killing an unwitting creature. . This is best suited to indoor squirrel infestations. Figure out where your squirrel has been getting in, and set the trap at this opening. The idea of the one-way trap is that the squirrel can get into the hole, but not out of it. You should be able to find the entrance by looking for light or feeling for an airflow. Check vents in the walls and "valleys" in your roof. The holes may be smaller than you expect. If you just want to keep the squirrel out of your attic, you can set up a one-way door trap leading outside. This way, the squirrel will be able to get out, but it won't be able to get back in. Be aware, however, that mother squirrels often hide out in attics when they are raising their young so you might wind up with a bunch of dead baby squirrels unless you are able to root them out.
A: Make or buy a squirrel trap. Use a single-animal live cage trap. Build a one-way door trap

Q: Keep the pot on a windowsill or the floor near a glass door. Make sure the spot is in an area where your cat frequently goes. The light will help your grass multiply after your cat eats it. If you have a soil substrate, feel the topsoil to see if it's moist to the touch. If not, use your spray bottle until it's damp but not so much that it forms pools of standing water. If you're using grow stones, check the water level inside your container. If it's below half full, fill it with water so until it's just below the filter. Be careful not to overwater your grass since it could die if there's too much. If your grass gets too long, your cat may be able to pick up the plants and destroy the grass pot. Use a pair of gardening snips to trim the grass until it's 46in (1015cm) tall. Cat grass doesn't reproduce or stay alive for much more than 2-3 months. When you see your grass turning yellow or drooping, remove it from the pot and replace it with new seeds. Within a few days, you'll have a new pot that's growing healthy cat grass! You don't need to replace the grass after your cat chews it all since it will grow back quickly until they start to die.
A: Keep the pot in an area of your home with natural light. Water the grass regularly so it stays moist. Trim the grass between 46in (1015cm) when it gets too long. Plant new seeds when the grass starts to yellow or wilt.

Q: While you might be tempted to completely overhaul your lifestyle, it is not necessary to make big changes to start living in the moment. Start by incorporating new habits one at a time. Once you feel like you have mastered a habit, add something else. For example, instead of trying to meditate for 20 minutes per day right away, start by trying to meditate for three minutes per day. Then, increase your time as you become more comfortable with meditation. Walk to work with your phone in your pocket. Do not text or talk on the phone unless it is an emergency. Learning to live in the moment can also be a part of your daily routine. You can incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine by deliberately noticing the sensory details of something that you are doing. Focus on the sight, sound, smell, and feel of your daily activities. For example, the next time that you brush your teeth, notice the smell of your toothpaste, the sound of the brush against your teeth, and the way that it feels. It is normal for your mind to wander, but in order to live in the moment, you need to keep your mind focused on the present. When you notice that your mind is wandering, use gentle redirection to focus on the present again. Acknowledge that your mind is wandering without judging yourself for doing so. Don't get upset at yourself if your mind wanders. It is normal for your mind to wander sometimes. Just accept that you took a little mental vacation and return your focus to the present. It may be difficult to remember to be mindful when you are very busy. A mindfulness cue, such as a string tied around your wrist, a pen mark on your hand, or a coin in your shoe can help you to remember to be mindful. When you notice the cue, make sure that you take a moment to stop and notice your surroundings. You can also use something more external like making a cup of tea, looking in the mirror, or removing your shoes after work as your cue. After a while, you may begin to ignore the cue because you are used to it. If this happens, change your cue to something else. You may not be living in the moment because you are too set in your routine. One way that you can become more aware is to change up your routine. You can do something as simple as changing the way that you drive to work, altering the way you introduce yourself, or tweaking a favorite story. Making a small change to one of your routines may be enough to make you more aware of your surroundings. Try taking a different route for your evening walk or add a new ritual to your bedtime routine. Meditation is a great way to train your brain to live in the moment. As you meditate, you practice noticing your thoughts and simply watching as they go by. Learning to meditate takes time, practice, and guidance, so your best bet is to find a meditation class in your area. If no classes are available in your area, you can also buy CDs that will help you learn how to meditate. To get started with meditation, find a quiet spot and get comfortable. You can either sit in a chair or on a cushion on the floor with your legs crossed. Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. As you focus on your breathing, try not to get distracted by your thoughts. Just let them happen and pass by. Without opening your eyes, observe the world around you. Pay attention to how you feel as well. What do you hear? What do you smell? How do you feel? physically? emotionally? Set a gentle timer on your phone so that you know when to stop. You may want to start by meditating for 5 minutes and build up from there. Make sure the people you live with know that you will be meditating and ask them not to disturb you.
A:
Start small. Notice sensory details about routine activities. Redirect your mind when it wanders. Choose a mindfulness cue. Change a routine. Learn how to meditate.
