Article: Even though cats really need your care, they have a strong need for independence and personal space. While cats enjoy being stroked, they are not always interested in interaction with people. One of the biggest mistakes pet owners make is to treat cats like dogs. Remember that they are very different animals! Dogs are pack animals originally bred to work alongside people. In contrast, cats are relatively solitary animals that historically served humans by killing vermin on their own. Don't smother cats or be offended if they hide from you sometimes. This is part of their nature. When cats are punished by yelling or other aggressive actions, they simply tend run away. For the most part, cats do not learn through discipline. Your cat will not love you if you're a mean owner. Never strike a cat as this will only make matters worse. While spraying a cat with water to punish bad behaviours is a common tactic, water-spraying may make your cat fear and distrust of you Like humans, there are some foods that cats prefer over all others. Find out what these foods are, and instead of discipline use treats to reinforce your cat's positive behaviour. Tastes among cats vary, but small tuna flakes and cooked chicken pieces often prove irresistible. Ration these treats to make your cat love you. Avoid feeding cats milk; contrary to popular belief, dairy is unhealthy for them. Also avoid feeding cats chocolate, candy, raw eggs, raw meat or fish. Remember that treats are not a substitute for full meals of cat food. Although there are certain behaviours common to all cats, considerable variation exists. Spend time getting to know what your cat likes and dislikes. Knowing and respecting your cat's unique personality is important to getting it to love you.

Problem: Article: Pretty much all of the general advice applies to exes, but there are some specific steps you can take to be more aloof around exes, too. Don't hang around them all night giving them longing stares and puppy dog eyes. Get out there and talk to other people. You may even get a date or two. Rebound relationships can actually help you move on. Just make sure you feel ready. Physical touch is a way to express affection, which you definitely want to limit in your efforts to be aloof. Avoid all forms of touching if you can, including hugging, holding hands, kissing, and sex. It may be tempting to call up your ex when you're feeling emotional, but don't. Reach out to other loved ones for help. Sharing your deep emotions with your ex hardly looks aloof. You may be harboring some deep-seeded anger towards your ex. Being aloof will be much easier if you let that anger go. Try to forgive them for any past wrongs or hurts. When negative thoughts about your ex pop into your head, counter them with positive thoughts. Address the thought "I can't believe he left me," with one like, "It's better off this way. I deserve someone who respects me and treats me right." Focus on the positive things in your life, like your amazing family and friends. View your relationship as a learning experience. Think about how you can apply the lessons you learned to future relationships to make them stronger and happier.
Summary: Date or flirt with other people. Limit physical contact. Go to other people for help. Try to let go of anger towards them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stain removers require less effort on your part, and may work well. Examples include Dawn Power Dissolver, Mr. Clean Multi-Surface Cleaner, and Tide Spray 'n Wash. Follow the directions on the items container, making sure they can safely be used on cotton. Be aware that it may take several applications of a stain remover in order to fully remove a stain. Always test a commercial stain remover on an inconspicuous part of the cotton item. Citrus juice is an alternative solvent option. Place the stained material face down on clean paper towel. Cut an orange or lemon in half, and dab the fruit's flesh onto the back of the stained area. Switch the paper towel frequently and continue dabbing until the stain is removed. Allow the item to air dry and wash normally. Mix baking soda and water until a paste forms. Add more baking soda if the mixture is too runny, or add water if it is too thick. Put the paste on the stain and let it soak in for 15 minutes. Then, use a brush to scrub the paste into the fabric until the stain is gone. Wash the material as you normally would after removing the stain. Don't brush too hard if the fabric is thin or delicate.

SUMMARY: Use a stain remover. Swap out the alcohol with citrus juice. Make a paste from baking soda.

Go ahead and pack your bag. Pack your equipment, uniform, towels, and anything you will need for the tournament. Check items off of the list as you go.
