Q: Both hard and soft cat carriers will allow you to safely carry your cat to and from the vet. The harder ones are better for vehicle transport. Training your cat to enter the carrier could take a few hours or a few weeks. In order to have sufficient time to test it out before use, try to obtain a carrier 1-4 weeks prior to the appointment. If you already have a carrier, make sure that he can still fit inside of it. If you do not have a carrier, one can be purchased at your local pet store, department store, or online. As an alternative, you could ask to borrow a carrier from a friend or possibly find one at your local thrift store, but be sure to clean and dry it thoroughly before use. A little vinegar added to mild soap and water will help eliminate odors. Carriers should be large enough for your cat to turn all the way around in it. If you choose to purchase a carrier online, do so far in advance of the appointment to ensure that you receive the carrier in time to habituate your cat to it. It is likely that your cat will turn tail when she sees the carrier, so don't pull it out from storage right before leaving for the appointment. This could make her remember the last time you went to the vet, if that experience was traumatizing. Use the carrier at nap and play time. This will help eliminate negative associations your cat might have to the carrier. To get him used to the carrier (again), first line it with shredded newspapers and a couple of small towels or large strips of fabric that contain a scent familiar to your cat. Put cat treats in and around the carrier to lure her inside. It might take some time for your cat to enter the carrier, so add fresh treats when needed. Once she seems comfortable in and around the carrier, you can put her in it. Quietly close the carrier door, and speak soothingly to her. Be gentle when placing your cat in the carrier. If she still refuses, do not force her in. Instead, give her more time to get used to it. " Once inside the carrier, taking your cat on short drives through the neighborhood could help ease your cat's anxiety. Gently carry your cat to your vehicle, or to the train, subway, or bus stop. On public transportation, use a large towel to cover the carrier, so that your cat will be less anxious. Place the carrier on a seat. If you are driving, buckle the carrier in for safety. Speak soothingly to your cat, or play soft music during the drive. Lengthen the trip each time, until the day of the appointment. Be sure to bring plastic bags, mild disinfecting wipes, and small towels for cleanup in case she has an accident during the trip.
A: Obtain a cat carrier. Make sure the carrier is the correct size. Train your cat to enter the carrier. Place your cat in the carrier. Do a "dry run.

Article: As only one piece can occupy a house at a time, you will sometimes be in a situation where a house is blocked by another player. There are ways to capture blocked houses when playing Senet. There are also ways to protect your pieces. If you land your move on a house occupied by another player, you can capture the piece. The other player's piece will be moved back to the house your piece was on at the beginning of your turn. However, if two or more of another player's pieces are next to each other, that house is protected. It cannot be captured and you will not be able to complete your turn. On a senet board, there are six houses with special pictures on them. If you land on one of these houses, there are special rules you have to follow. The House of Happiness or Pretty House is marked by what looks like three upside down stick figures. All of your pieces need to pass through this house to win. You must land on the house exactly. If, for example, the House of Happiness is located on square 26 and you're on square 25, if you do not roll in such a way that you'll move exactly one house you have to stay in place until your next turn. The House of Water is marked by three zigzagged lines. If you land on the House of Water, you have to move straight back to the House of Rebirth. The House of Rebirth is marked by three sideways stick figures. Your piece remains on the House of Rebirth until you choose to remove it again. The House of Three Truths is marked by a drawing of three birds. If you land on this house, you can throw your sticks again. If you have three color sides up, you can automatically remove this piece from the board. The House of Re-Atoum is marked by two dancing stick figures. If you have landed here, throw your sticks again. If you have two colored sticks facing up, you can remove your piece from the board. The last house on the board is marked by a leaf-like drawing.

Q: Perhaps the most important thing you need to know when measuring your blood pressure are key target levels. Without knowing your target levels, blood pressure results won't tell you anything. 120/80 and below are normal blood pressures for most people. Between 120 139/80 89 indicates prehypertension. If you fall here, you should put more effort into adopting a healthy lifestyle. Between 140 159/90 99 indicates stage 1 hypertension. If you fall here, you and your doctor need to consider a plan to lower your blood pressure. That plan may include medication. 160/100 or higher indicates stage 2 hypertension. If you fall here, you will almost certainly need to take blood pressure medication. Since cuffless technology is in its infancy, you should take a reading of your blood pressure with a cuff before you start taking readings at home without a cuff. Have your blood pressure read at your annual or semi-annual physical. Visit a drugstore or other location that has a blood pressure reading machine available for public use. Compare any measurements you take at home with your baseline measurement. Record your baseline measurements and home measurements so you have a record of your blood pressure over time.

Familiarize yourself with target blood pressure results. Use a cuff to get a baseline reading.
