In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Do not let stains sit on the carpet for a long period of time. Clean up stains right away so the stain doesn't absorb into the carpet fibers. Stains that sit on the carpet can also end up leaking into the bottom of the carpet, causing mildew and odor. If you know people are going to eat or drink around the carpet, have cleaning materials on hand in the event of spills and stains. If a liquid like blood gets on the carpet, use water to get the stain out. Wet a damp clean cloth and blot the stain out. Do not scrub or rub hard on the stain, as this can make it worse and damage the carpet. Once you have blotted away the blood, use clean paper towels to dry the area. Lay a hard object over the paper towels to soak up any remaining water. Another good spot cleaner is club soda. If someone spills a glass of wine or juice on your carpet, bust out the club soda. Pour a small amount on the stain and use a dry cloth to blot the area until the stain comes out. Do not scrub the stain, as this can ruin the fibers in the carpet. Only use a small amount of club soda at a time. Flooding the area with club soda or using too much of it can cause mildew to build up in the pad of the carpet. If pen ink gets on the carpet, try applying a small amount of milk and cornstarch to the stain. Mix a small amount of milk and cornstarch in a bowl to form a paste. Then, apply the paste to the stain. Use a dry toothbrush to gently brush the paste off the stain. The paste should pick up the ink stain and remove it. Make sure you vacuum up the scraped off paste. You should see a stain free carpet underneath.
Summary: Address stains immediately. Apply water to stains. Blot stains with club soda. Apply a milk and cornstarch paste.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your cat has started going to the bathroom on a rug or other place on the ground in your house, place a litter box over that spot to encourage her to use the box instead. After she has used the box for one month, move it an inch per day until it is back where you want it to be. Cats like to use dark spaces to go to the bathroom, so a closet might be very appealing to your cat. If your cat has started urinating on the floor of a dark space, keep the light turned on or consider a motion light to discourage your cat from urinating in that space. Cats may develop a preference for a certain type of surface and begin using it as a bathroom. Turning over rugs and carpet runners may discourage your cat by changing the texture of the surface. Try flipping over your rugs and carpets for a few days to see if that stops your cat from urinating on them. Sticky tape can discourage a cat from urinating on a piece of furniture because the sensation of the tape on their paws is unpleasant. Try applying double sided sticky tape to the edges of furniture as well as over the spot where your cat likes to urinate. Cleaning up accidents right after they happen will also help deter your cat from using the same spot again. Use an enzymatic cleaner rather than an ammonia based one. Ammonia-based cleaners may cause your cat to urinate more often on the spot because she may interpret the ammonia as another cat's urine that she must cover up with her own urine. If you have a long haired cat, she may have an aversion to the litter box because she feels dirty after using it. Keeping your cat's hair trimmed may help her to use the litter box. You may also need to bathe her to make sure that she does not smell like urine or feces. If you are uncomfortable with bathing your cat, look for an experienced cat groomer in your area. Negative associations with the litter box may be improved by doing things like playing with your cat around the litter box. Try playing with your cat a few feet away from her box a few times per day to help generate more positive feelings about the litter box. Do not try to reward your cat for using the litter box by giving her treats. Cats don't like to be disturbed while they use the litter box. You can leave treats and toys near your cat's litter box, but do not keep your cat's food and water dish next to her box. Cats don't like to eat too close to where they use the bathroom. Encouraging your cat to use the litter box takes time and effort, but it may not always be successful. Some veterinarians undergo special training to help people deal with problems such as urinating outside of the box. If your cat does not improve over time, consider speaking to a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist or a board-certified veterinary behaviorist.
Summary: Relocate your cat's box slowly. Light up dark spaces that your cat has started to urinate. Flip carpet runners and rugs upside down. Apply double sided sticky tape to furniture. Clean accidents with an enzymatic cleaner. Trim long hair around hind quarters. Play with your cat around her box. Talk to your veterinarian if things don't improve.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: No one plans or expects to have a mental health crisis when they are traveling. However, studies suggest that about 10% of travelers with mental illness experience a psychiatric problem while on their trip. You can handle an emergency much more effectively if you already have a crisis plan in place just in case. Ask your mental health professional to help you create your plan. You might ask them, "What should I consider including in my crisis plan?" Include things like emergency numbers to your primary mental health provider, primary pharmacist, pharmacist in your destination area, a crisis center and mental health provider there. Include insurance information, a list of your medications, and any other important information. It can be frustrating, scary, and possibly detrimental to be in a mental health crisis and not know where to get help. Before you leave for your trip, take some time to find out about emergency mental health services in the area that you're traveling to. This way you'll know where to turn for help if you should need it. In the U.S., you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or Safe Alternatives at 1-800-366-8288. The International Association for Suicide Prevention at http://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres/ provides a great list of crisis services worldwide. Knowing that you have someone whom you can alert if there's a problem and will be checking in on you can help you manage a mental health emergency when you're traveling. This might be your travel companion, a person you trust in the destination location, or someone at home. Ask someone close to you at home to check on you every so often. You might ask your friend, "Could you call me every few days just to check in and make sure everything's going well?" Make sure your emergency contact has up-to-date information regarding how to get in contact with you, where you're staying, insurance information, medications, etc.
Summary:
Create a crisis plan. Research crisis support in that area. Have an emergency contact.
