Your cat may be in pain or shaken up after an injury and it may lash out when you touch the sore area. This is true even if it is normally sweet tempered. With this in mind, try to enlist the help of a friend or neighbor to hold the cat so that you can concentrate on the wound. Try wrapping the cat in a large bath towel with just the wound exposed. This is a good way to keep it calm and minimize the risk from teeth and claws. Grab your chosen rinsing solution and place it in a bowl. Use a syringe to suck up the solution, and then squirt it over the wound to rinse and clean it. Repeatedly spray the wound this way until you are happy the wound is clean. Fresh bite wounds need to be cleaned and disinfected, to reduce the risk of infection. Scrape wounds sustained if the cat was hit by a car or fell from a tree, may be contaminated with grit, gravel, and bacteria. A thorough cleaning to remove contamination helps reduce the risk of complications, such as poor healing or infection. If you do not have a syringe, then soak clean cotton wool in the cleaning solution and squeeze the cotton wool so the solution runs down over the wound. If the area is very contaminated, and this is not lifting the debris away, then use downward stroking movements with the cotton wool to clean the area. Use a clean piece of soaked cotton wool for each downward wipe, so that the dirty piece does not recontaminate the wound on the next downward pass. Keep cleaning until the cotton wool comes away clean, and then finish with a rinse. If your cat has a burst abscess, a considerable volume of pus may leak from the wound. Use dry cotton wool, gauze, or absorbent paper tissue to wipe away the pus. Apply gentle pressure to the area around the abscess, pressing inward towards the tooth mark through which the pus is draining. It is important to remove as much pus as possible or it will act as an ongoing source of infection. Once you have cleaned away the gross contamination, you can start applying the disinfectant. Follow the directions on the packaging for proper application. The aim is to wipe away infection until you expose healthy, uncontaminated tissue and then apply the disinfectant. Most wounds are best left open to the air, so do not attempt to bandage or cover a small, insignificant wound. However, if the cat is trying to lick or chew the wound then it needs to be covered. In these cases, the healing of the wound may be compromised. There is a myth that it's healthy for a cat to lick a wound. In truth, that abrasive tongue is likely to damage exposed tissues rather than promote healing.

Summary: Get another person to help you hold the cat. Rinse the wound with a syringe. Use a cotton ball soaked with cleaning solution if you don't have a syringe. Apply disinfectant. Decide whether to bandage the wound.

This symptom will start killing off the hosts, but not too quickly as to end your game. it will also boost your infectivity. This will drop the progress of the cure back a few percentage points. The cure will move quickly towards the end, so you'll want to set it back if it reaches 25% or so before you move on to the final few steps. If you are running low on DNA points, you can skip Genetic Reshuffle 2. You should never need Genetic Shuffle 3. If you haven't yet, you'll want to wait until every country is infected before you turn your disease into a killing machine. When the last country is infected, wait until it has about 10,000-15,000 people infected before moving on. Make sure your last infected country already has 10,000-15,000 people infected before you evolve this symptom. This is going to start killing people off very quickly. This will help ensure that the disease continues to spread as it is killing people. You'll need to have either Diarrhea or Insanity in order to get Dysentery. This symptom will increase the lethality of your disease as you rush towards the end. If you were successful, the entire world should be infected shortly, with death catching up soon after. You can speed things up by getting more symptoms, or evolve Genetic Reshuffle to slow the cure if necessary.

Summary: Evolve the Necrosis symptom. Evolve the Genetic Reshuffle ability. Evolve Genetic Reshuffle 2 when the cure reaches 25%. Wait for all countries to be infected. Evolve Total Organ Failure. Evolve Dysentery. Evolve Hemorrhagic Shock. Wait while the world finishes getting infected and killed off.

How we feel inside is expressed in our eyes and on our faces. Learning to recognize the association between facial expressions and certain types of emotion goes a long way in being able to read emotion. Don't be fooled! People can manipulate their facial expressions to appear to look happy when they are angry or sad actors do this convincingly all the time. Look for other cues as to how they really feel. Note her body language or tone of voice. Make eye contact open, penetrating "cold" eyes suggests a different emotional state than a "warm" smile. A genuine smile uses more muscles than one that is faked or forced. The corners of her mouth and cheeks should be raised. If the muscles around her eyes also tighten and "crow's feet" form (clusters of wrinkles around the outer corners of eyes), then it is a good indicator of a genuine smile. This might seem obvious, but people try to control or cover-up their true emotions by smiling when they are sad. Genuine and spontaneous emotions are hard to fake. Sadness is associated with frowning (lowering the corners of the mouth). It is also associated with raising the inner corners of the eyebrows (near the noise). Additional cues are loose, drooping eyelids that cover part of the eye. Anger and disgust are often associated with one another and create similar facial expressions. We wrinkle our noses when we are disgusted, angry, or annoyed. Anger and resentment can be towards someone or about something. When we are angry, we pull our eyebrows down, purse our lips (tighten them and suck-in the margins), and bulge our eyes. In contrast to anger, expressing dislike, disgust, or disdain for someone or something is associated with a raised upper lip and loose lower lip. We also pull our eyebrows down, but not as much as when we are angry. While fear is a negative and surprise is considered a positive emotion, both activate the sympathetic nervous system and trigger a "fight or flight" response. When something unexpected happens, whether it is good or bad, it stimulates a part of the brain that is outside of our direct control. When this happens, we pull up our eyebrows and eyelids so our eyes are wide open. When we are afraid, we also pull our eyebrows in (towards the nose), our pupils dilate (get bigger) to take in more light, and our mouth is open. We also tense up the muscles in our face, especially around our mouth and cheek. When we are surprised, we tend to arch our eyebrows and drop our jaw. Our mouth is open, and the muscles around it are relaxed and loose.
Summary: Take note of her facial expressions. Recognize a genuine smile. Distinguish sadness from happiness. Recognize anger and disgust. Recognize fear and surprise.
