INPUT ARTICLE: 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.

SUMMARY: Strike a healthy balance between playing with your cat and giving it alone time. Avoid resorting to punishment. Discover your cat's favourite treats. Embrace your cat's unique personality!

Move the brush along the ceiling in one continuous direction, painting a 3in (7.6cm) margin of the ceiling. Use a ladder to reach the ceiling. Place your bucket of paint on top of it. If the ceiling corners you wish to paint are too tall to reach with a ladder, erect scaffolding. Paint the edge of the ceiling as thickly as possible without the paint dripping. If the ceiling is textured, push your brush into the grooves to ensure all the nooks and crannies get painted. When you reach the corner of the wall, begin painting another continuous margin along the adjoining wall, heading away from the corner. Use your paintbrush to paint this strip, too. This second margin along the ceiling should be just as wide as the first strip you painted. After painting a strip of paint across the entire perimeter of the ceiling, dip your loaded roller into the paint of your choice. Roll it towards the ceiling corner you're interested in painting in such a way that it overlaps a bit with the area you just painted with the paintbrush. Roll in one direction toward the opposite side of the room. Back roll over the overlap to avoid leaving lines on the ceiling. Do not place the roller directly overhead or you risk dripping paint on yourself. Use a roller with a nap of more than inch (one centimeter). You'll be able to tell that you need more paint on your loaded roller when you notice that it is no longer applying paint evenly to the ceiling. When this happens, dipbut do not submergeyour roller in paint. Don't let the roller get too dry or you'll end up with lines on the ceiling.

SUMMARY: Use a paintbrush to paint towards the corner. Paint away from the corner. Paint toward the corner with a loaded roller. Reload your roller with paint as needed.
