In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Cats are known to be self-grooming, and will only rarely need a bath. However, if your cat can't or won't groom itself well, you may need to bathe it more frequently. How often to bathe your cat will depend on its breed and activity level. Long-haired or especially active cats, for instance, might need to be bathed more frequently. A cat that is arthritic and has difficulty grooming itself, however, might also need to be bathed more frequently. You may want to place cotton balls in your cat's ears to keep water out of them. Choose a bath time when your cat is calm. Playing with your cat before giving it a bath might help to calm and tire it a bit so that the bath is less stressful. Try to soothe your cat before the bath, by giving it a small treat, talking softly to it, or petting it. You may also want to clip your cat's nails before bathing to protect yourself from scratches. Before bathing your cat, you should brush it thoroughly. Then, take a washcloth dipped in plain lukewarm water and use it to carefully wipe in and around your cat's ears. If your cat's face needs washing, you can also use this cloth to gently wipe it. Fill a tub or sink with enough warm (not hot) water so that you will be able to wet your cat, but not so much that it could be submerged. If you are using a tub or basin to bathe your cat in, place a towel or non-slip rubber mat in the bottom. If your cat has something to hold onto during the bath, it might feel more secure and be calmer. Make sure that the room you will bathe your cat in is warm (70 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer), as your cat may become cold when it is wet. You may need the help of another person to put your cat in its bath. Cats generally dislike water, and this step might be slightly stressful on yours. You may also want to protect your hands in arms from cat scratches and bites by wearing gloves and long sleeves when bathing your cat. Cats have different skin characteristics than humans, and so you should not use human shampoo or soap to bathe your cat. Check your local pet supply store for shampoos and conditioners specially formulated for use on cats, or ask your veterinarian for advice. If your cat has skin allergies or other issues, your veterinarian may prescribe special shampoos. Be sure to carefully follow all accompanying instructions. Using just a bit of shampoo and lukewarm water (one part shampoo to five parts water), massage your cat's fur. Work quickly but calmly, and be careful to attend to any problem areas (dirt, matted hair, etc.). Work from head to tail, being careful to avoid your cat's eyes and ears. You can also use a gentle spray hose or bottle to wet your cat. Talking to your cat in a soothing voice may make the bath less stressful. Since cats are such persistent self-groomers, you can expect yours to start "cleaning" itself with its tongue and paws after you bathe it. Before you let your cat out of the bath, make sure to thoroughly rinse its fur free all traces of shampoo or conditioner, so that your cat does not accidentally swallow any. Otherwise, your kitty might wind up with an upset tummy or other problems. Once your cat is well-rinsed, remove it from the bath. Using a cloth or paper towel, blot its tail and legs to remove extra water. Wrap your cat in a towel to dry it. Keep it warm until its coat is dry. If your cat is short-haired and your home is warm, it may be able to dry on its own without a towel. Hair dryers may not be a good choice for use on cats as they can dry out your cat's skin, or even cause them to have heat stroke; in addition, the noise may bother some cats. If you wish to use a hair dryer, make sure it is on the lowest (or "cool") heat setting. A bath alone may be enough to make your cat's fur sleek and shiny. However, if its hair is long, tangled, or matted, you may find that brushing afterwards will help. Bathing can be stressful for many cats, so reward yours with a treat afterwards. Petting or otherwise soothing it can also help to calm it down.
Summary: Decide when to bathe your cat. Prepare your cat for its bath. Pre-bathe your cat. Prepare the bath. Carefully place your cat in the bath. Use the right kind of shampoo. Gently bathe your cat. Rinse your cat thoroughly. Dry your cat. Brush afterwards if necessary. Give your cat a treat.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Carefully read the contract and determine whether all of elements required under state law are present in the contract. If a seller fails to include a required element, in some states buyers may have the option to terminate the contract. The clause will contain instructions for rescinding the contract and state the time in which you have to do so. If still within the time specified by the clause, follow the instructions provided in the contract on how to rescind the contract. States may have specific rules about how to rescind a contract, which may include providing written notice. If you contract has a rescission clause, you will be required to provide written notice of your decision to rescind. This written documentation may include a signed rescission form, previously provided to you or a simple letter stating that you are rescinding the contract. You may also be required to provide the following information: The name, address, and phone number of the seller or his or her attorney. A description of the contract for deed, including the names of the parties. A description of the property. A statement of rescission, including when the contract will be rescinded and the basis for the rescission. A list of all payments made under the contract. If your contract does not contain a rescission clause, review your state's statutes to see if a rescission period may apply. Some state and federal laws require that certain contracts allow for rescission within a specific period, usually three (3) to ten (10) days after entering into the contract. There are limited circumstances, under which a party can terminate a contract. These remedies are not specific to contracts for deed, however some states allow general contract remedies to apply to contracts for deed. A buyer may be able to terminate a contract for deed for the following reasons: Fraud and misrepresentation. You may be able to cancel the contract if you can show that the seller lied about the condition of the property, and that lie induced you to enter into the contract. Breach of contract by the other party. If one party knowingly fails to comply with the terms of the contract, the other party may terminate the contract. A breaching party has no right to complain that the other has ended the contract, which he or she breached. Impossibility. If a party to a contract is unable to perform his or her obligations due to the impossibility of such performance, he or she may have a legal right to terminate the contract. The reason for the impossibility of performance must not be the fault of the party who finds it impossible to perform. It must be either the fault of the other party or the result of an "act of God" or act of nature, such as a hurricane or tornado. For example, if a tornado damages the property beyond repair before you have take possession of it, you may be able to legally cancel the contract for the deed. Failure to hold unencumbered title. If a seller has an improper lien, mortgage or other encumbrance on the property, some states do not allow a seller to execute a contract for deed on the property. You should check your state laws to see whether it prohibits an encumbered property from being the subject of contract for deed. If it does, you should run a title check on the property in question to see whether there are any liens on the property. If so, you may have a legal basis to terminate the contract.
Summary:
Determine whether the contract meets minimum state requirements. Review the contract for a rescission or cancellation clause. Provide written notice. Determine if you have any legal right to terminate the contract.
