Female cats are polyestrous, which means they go into heat many times a year. This is in contrast to dogs, which experience a diestrus cycle, coming into heat only twice a year. While in heat, your cat's womb will become swollen as its blood-supply increases in anticipation of a pregnancy. You will not be able to observe this, however, as there are no external signs of this process. The breeding season of feral cats is between spring and late summer. This means kittens are born away from the harshest of the winter weather, when their chances of survival would be reduced. Artificial light can fool a pet cat into thinking it is not winter. As such, if your cat spends much time indoors, the changing of seasons will have little or no effect on her reproductive cycle. Expect a cat that lives indoors to come into heat all year around. The reproductive cycle of a female cat is, on average, 21 days. Of these three weeks, expect her to spend as many as seven days in heat.

Do you really need to seek revenge? Before you take any action, carefully consider your motivations. What will you gain through trying to get back at this person? Revenge can actually increase anger rather than decreasing it. If you end up hurting your ex back, you may feel guilty, sad, or empty afterwards. Wait and consider your actions for awhile before lashing out. Make sure you know everything about the situation to make sure revenge is warranted. Think long and hard about whether you'll actually feel happier if you get back on the guy. Try to accept your urge for revenge is natural. However, remember that the anticipation may feel better than carrying out the act. You may be better off fantasizing about revenge than actually indulging in it. If you're your best self in the wake of a breakup, this is a great means to revenge. You want your ex to feel like you only got better after he left. Start a workout regimen so you can look and feel better. Pick a form of exercise you enjoy that you're likely to stick to. If you love riding your bike, for example, start taking long bike rides a few times a week. Be careful getting into a new workout routine. Always talk to a doctor before starting a new program, and ease into any form of physical activity. You want to avoid strain. If you're reeling from heartbreak, this is important. You should accept what you're feeling and take some steps to cope with your own pain. Allow yourself to experience and deal with your emotions. If you need to feel pain, do so. If you need to cry, have a good, long cry. Do things that make you happy. Go out and see a movie with friends. Go visit your family. Sometimes, being happy can be a form of revenge in and of itself. Imagine your ex seeing happy social media posts of you thriving without him. That may hurt him more than any directly vindictive action on your part. Live in the now rather than the past. Remember, you can't undo the past. You can, however, work on making the most of the present. It's natural to focus on the pain now and again. When you feel yourself doing so, find a way to gently pull yourself back into the present moment. Think to yourself, "That was then and this is now. I want to move forward." Think about all the good things in your life. Focus on your hobbies, your career, and your social life. Do not get sidetracked by petty thoughts. After awhile of healing, you may want to think about forgiveness. Forgiving the person who hurt you may help you find closure. You don't have to agree with what the guy did to forgive him. You can simply acknowledge that negative actions do not make him a bad person overall. Think to yourself, "This guy made a mistake, like we all do. I'm ready to let it go." Remember, forgiveness is not a sign of weakness. It actually takes a lot of strength of character to forgive someone for hurting you.

A drinking glass is placed in the center of the table, filled with the alcohol of choice. There should be at least four players around the table. Two players on opposite sides of the table are chosen to start at the same time, and each is given a quarter and a cup. Make sure that each of the players is separated by an equal amount of space between one another. Each player must attempt to successfully bounce his or her quarter into a cup as quickly as possible. If a player misses, the player must quickly try again. As soon as a player gets their quarter into the cup, they pass the quarter and the cup to the player on their right. If a player shoots the quarter into the cup on the first try, then he may pass it to any player at the table. The goal of the game is to try and get one of your opponents to have both cups and quarters at the same time. If a player ever has both quarters at the same time, then that player is the loser. The player who passes the second cup to the opponent with the other cup is said to have "screwed" the loser. However, it is not good enough to simply pass the cup to the opponent with the other cup. You must stack the cup inside your opponent's cup. This action serves to prevent the loser from attempting another shot, since oftentimes the loser is unaware that their opponent has "screwed" them. At this point, the loser is allowed one final shot into the stacked cups. If the loser misses, he or she must drink the penalty beverage, which is often a shot or a large portion (perhaps all) of an alcoholic drink. If the loser makes the final shot, then the tables have been turned on the other players. Some rules insist that all other players take penalty drinks, others require only the player who "screwed" the loser to drink. Sometimes the player who "screwed" the loser is given a single shot just like the loser had, and the two take turns shooting until someone misses. Another option for the penalty beverage is that the player who "screwed" the loser is allowed to spin a quarter, and the loser has to drink a beer or a mixed drink for as long as the quarter remains standing. In the case where the loser makes the final shot, she must then spin a quarter and everyone else drinks for as long as the loser allows it to spin. The game ends when everyone decides to mutually quit playing, or everyone is too intoxicated to continue playing. However, you can make up your own rules as to how to end the game. Some versions of the game make it so that a player is eliminated after losing five times. You continue until the last person is standing.
