In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your female cat will chose a place where she feels safe to give birth. By all means, provide a large cardboard box, turn it on its side and line it with warm, dry beddingbut don't be disappointed if she has other ideas. Instinct tells her to find a quiet concealed spot, such as under a bed, behind a sofa, or inside a kitchen cabinet. To learn more about helping your cat give birth, see this article. The first 48 hours is a crucial time for the mother to bond with her kittens, so try not to disturb her. If she gives birth under your bed, leave her there. Moving the newborn kittens will distress the mother and in the worst scenario could cause her to reject them. Once she is firmly bonded, at around four or five days, if you feel it's necessary to move the kittens, do it then. The mother won't want to leave her kittens for long in the first two weeks of their life. Always put food and water within stretching distance of her nest, and if possible, offer a litter tray in the same room so that she can stay within sight and sound of the kittens. If food is in another room, some mothers chose to starve rather than leave their newborn kittens to find it. She needs the extra calories to make milk for her kittens. Feed her kitten food, which has more calories than adult cat food. Instinct helps the mother to keep the nest clean. The newborn kittens do not urinate or defecate on their own, so the mother has to lick their bottoms before and after feeding to stimulate elimination. This way she keeps the nest clean. Try to disturb the nest as little as possible. If the bedding becomes soiled, wait until Mom hops out for a toilet break herself to take out the dirty bedding and pop in clean. If the mother cat is present, the kittens should nurse from her immediately after the last kitten is born. Newborn kittens will spend most of their time sleeping, waking up to nurse every two to three hours. If they do not appear to be nursing, or one kitten is being pushed away from the mother cat by its siblings, supplement with bottle feeding as described in Part 2. Having your mother cat spayed (removing her womb) after the kittens are done nursing (they should be weaned by about 8 weeks) is highly recommended by veterinarians and humane organizations. This helps prevent the suffering of unwanted kittens, and can also have some health benefits for the spayed cat. Be aware that a cat can potentially fall pregnant again as little as three to four days after giving birth, so keep her indoors to avoid this risk. This can happen as early as two weeks if necessary. Consult a veterinarian for proper medication and dosing.
Summary: Provide a quiet place for the birth. Do not disturb during the birth and first two days. Leave food, water, and cat litter in the room. Feed the mother extra calories. Let Mom do most of the clean-ups. Check that the kittens are all nursing. Consider spaying the mother cat. Start to think about deworming the kittens.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Specific foods that aggravate reflux differ greatly from person to person. Writing down everything you eat can help you figure out how best to prevent your symptoms. There is no universal diet that will successfully treat LPR. Even foods that are common triggers may have no effect on your reflux. LPR is caused, in part, by a weakened lower esophageal sphincter. Reflux occurs when that sphincter relaxes. Chocolate, caffeine, and alcohol all cause the lower esophageal sphincter to relax. Coffee may trigger reflux even if decaffeinated. Tobacco use, including smoking, dipping, or chewing tobacco, encourages reflux. If you use tobacco, quitting may also resolve your LPR. Ask your doctor for tobacco cessation assistance and resources. If you monitor your LPR symptoms immediately after using tobacco, you can see the effect your tobacco use is having on your reflux condition. When you are upright, gravity can assist in keeping your stomach acid down. However, lying down causes the contents of your stomach to press against your lower esophageal sphincter, which can cause reflux. In general, avoid eating late at night, when your digestion process is slower. This includes midnight snacks, not just full-blown meals. Most LPR symptoms happen during the day. However, if you have reflux at night, you may need to put the head of your bed up on blocks to prevent acid from traveling down your throat. Propping up on pillows or using a wedge won't work by itself. You have to raise the entire head of the bed 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm). Clothing that constricts your waist can put pressure on your abdomen, making LPR symptoms worse. Avoid tight-fitting jeans, tight belts, or clothes designed to compress your abdomen, such as corsets or body shapers. You may find it helpful to switch to pants that have some elastic in the waistband, or that fit lower around your hips instead of high up on your waist.
Summary: Keep a food journal to help identify triggers. Avoid chocolate, caffeine, and alcohol. Quit using tobacco products. Wait 3 hours after eating before reclining. Elevate your head when sleeping. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you know what situations cause aggressive behavior in your child, you can be proactive in preventing the behavior. You can try to prepare the child for a new situation or let others around you know not to startle or upset your child until they are used to the situation. For example, if you are going to take your child to a group gathering, you may want to play pretend to help them get used to the group situation. Place a bunch of dolls or stuffed animals around and lead your toddler around as you introduce them to your child. Have your child pack a bag and pretend to be going away to grandma's for the weekend to get used to the idea of being away from you. You may want to explain to the people at the gathering that they shouldn't try to hug or touch your child until the child is familiar with them. If your child feels aggressive when their daily situations change, you should let them know the change is coming so it won't be out of the blue. This helps mentally prepare the child for what is coming and reduce the aggressive behavior. If you know that you are going to have to go to the store soon and your child will have to stop playing, you should let them know. For example, you can say, "You can play for 10 more minutes, then we have to get ready to leave." You should watch your child as they play for any aggressive behavior. Your child may be playing in an aggressive way, which may eventually become physical aggression. Tell your child not to play that way so that they know aggressive actions are not tolerated. For example, if your child has their dolls hitting each other, you may say, "Your dolls don't hit each other. It's not good to hit others." You may try suggesting a non-violent alternative. Say, "Dolls love and hug each other." Letting your toddler witness violence may make them think it's okay to be aggressive. This may be a problem if you have older children who watch certain movies or television shows or play video games. Be careful what toys you let your children play with. Consider limiting the amount of violent toys you let them have. Be careful which programs are on the television when your child is around. This includes movies, television shows, and even the news. Some cartoons are violent, so monitor what your child watches. This includes violence between other members of the household. Seek help if you are concerned about violence in your home.
Summary:
Try to anticipate the aggressive behavior. Prepare your child for change. Watch out for aggressive playing. Limit exposure to violence.
