Q: If you think that the cat is a stray, you might try to reconnect it with its owner. If the cat has a collar or tag, check and see if it has a name, address, or phone number on it. A vet can check to see if there is a microchip implanted in the cat that stores information about the owner. If you can't find any information about the owner, you can also try posting an advertisement with the cat's picture at various places in your neighborhood, local animal shelters, online classifieds, etc. in hopes that the owner will track down the cat. If you are trying to take the cat home with you, to a vet, or to an animal shelter, you will need to entice it into a cat carrier. After the cat has become used to you leaving food out for it, try the following technique: Set the carrier near the food with the door open. Place food near the carrier to draw the cat near it. Place food nearer and nearer the carrier, if the cat will move closer to it. Place food inside the carrier and wait for the cat to step in and begin eating it. Once the cat is fully inside, close the door quickly but gently. Carefully carry the cat to its destination. If you decide to "adopt" a stray cat, take it to a vet as soon as possible so that it can be checked for fleas, ticks, worms, and other parasites, have its general health assessed, and receive any vaccines that it needs. Most animal advocacy groups recommend the policy of TNR (trap, neuter, and release) for feral and stray cats. This is considered a humane way of controlling stray cat populations. You can ask your vet or an animal shelter to spay or neuter your cat, and then release it back outdoors once it has recovered. You can even continue to feed the stray. If you decide to permanently adopt the stray and invite it into you home, you will need to be patient and understanding; returning to indoor life can be difficult for many former strays. Keep the cat in a quiet room at first, where it won't be disturbed. Make sure that the cat has food, water, a place to bed, and a litter box. You might need to use garden soil in the litter box at first, then a mix of soil and litter, before using just litter. This will help the stray adjust to the texture. Visit the cat regularly. Offer it treats, talk to it soothingly, and try playing with some toys. Pet the cat if it will let you, but leave it alone and come back later if it acts scared or aloof. There is a good chance that the cat will feel comfortable soon, and be ready to leave its room and explore your home. Be patient, however, as the cat might get startled and hide in various places, scratch furniture, or knock things over as it gets used to its new surroundings.
A: Determine if the cat has an owner. Take the cat with you. Take the cat to the vet. Consider practicing trap and release. Help your cat adjust to life in a new home.

Problem: Article: You don't have to study for long hours. This can be as simple as reviewing the subjects that you studied and skimming summaries of the books that you read last year. A quick refresher will get your mind ready for studying and make the first weeks back easier as you can see them as a continuation of progress that you have made. Reread your notes. Your class notes will remind you of the material you covered previously, as well as your initial reactions to the material.

Make a list of what you have learned. If you did not take notes, or did not save them, try a more active approach and list the subjects that you studied the previous year. Look at a report card or transcript if you need. Then, list major lessons and ideas that were covered beneath each subject. You likely cannot remember everything, but the act of recalling previous progress will get your mind ready for mental work. Get a list of what you will be studying in your classes and get a sense for what you will be learning. You don't have to work ahead if you don't want. Simply having a sense for what you will be covering will prepare you for success. You may not be given a syllabus or required book list in advance. Some teachers and schools will be happy to supply this information if you ask. Others may not be willing or able to supply this information. Ask politely and be gracious if denied. If you want to get straight A's, you can develop a study routine with time dedicated to each class before the year starts. If there is a specific subject that you want to excel in, check out introductory books from your local library.

If you find it hard to ignore a television, find a suitable study space with no televisions in sight. If noise distracts you, look for a desk in a quiet corner of the library or purchase noise-cancelling headphones.
Summary: Review what you learned last year. Look ahead. Set specific goals. Pick a study space. Acknowledge your typical distractions.
