Problem: Article: Look in particular for an enzymatic cleaner. Enzymatic cleaners are specifically designed for cleaning urine-soiled areas. These types of cleaners break down the enzymes in the cat urine and neutralize the odor. They can usually be purchased at any pet store. Well-known brands include Knock Out, Urine Off, and Anti-Icky Poo. Enzymatic cleaners break down the uric acid in cat urine into carbon dioxide and ammonia. These are both gasses that will then easily evaporate and thereby neutralize the odor. These cleaners work on both fresh and old urine stains. Some cleaners may have their own specific instructions for use so make sure to go over these carefully before applying the cleaner to the soiled area. Always follow any instructions that come with the specific cleaner you have purchased. Failure to follow the proper instructions could result in permanent damage to your furniture or surface. Always test out the product on a small, out-of-sight area to see whether the product results in any damage or discoloration to the area. If you notice anything unusual, stop using the product. Either purchase a different commercial product or try the homemade solution below. If you don't see anything, then go ahead and apply the product to the soiled area. Let the cleaner sit for 10-15 minutes so it can soak into the stain. Then blot up as much of the cleaner as you can using paper towel or a rag. This is very important because the cleaner needs this time to effectively break down the uric acid salts and then allow the gasses to evaporate. Close off the affected area. Cats are naturally attracted by the enzymes in urine and will be drawn to urinate in areas that have previously been urinated in. Cover the area loosely with something like aluminum foil or an upside-down laundry basket. This will not only keep the cat from attempting to pee in the same spot while the cleaner does its job but also keep any members of the household from stepping on the area. Be aware that if you are dealing with an old stain, you may need to apply the enzymatic cleaner two or three times (and being sure to let it completely dry between applications) in order to fully get rid of the stain.
Summary: Purchase a commercial product. Read the instructions. Do a test patch. Soak the affected area with the enzyme cleaner. Let the affected area air dry. Repeat the process as needed until the stain and smell subside.

Problem: Article: Successful relationships should have multiple common interests between partners. You may not have everything in common, but it's difficult to grow a relationship when interests are dissimilar. If you can't find many common interests, you may be more eager to be in a relationship than you are excited about the new partner. If the relationship itself is the connection, that's a rebound sign. If one of your common interest check-marks isn't attraction, be cautious. Rebound relationships often stem from a fear of being alone, rather than actual attraction. If you're not really into the other person, the relationship may just be a comforting technique. Casual relationships are missing the true connection and depth of a meaningful relationship. If you feel like you are genuinely using the new partner instead of actually forming a relationship, it's very probable you don't want to risk new heartbreak, and the relationship is casual. Oftentimes, a rebound relationship is used as a bridge to get over emotional issues, and to make it from one serious relationship to another. If you and your partner are in a routine like a couple that has been together for years, you may be attempting to replace the normalcy of your previous relationship. You want to do some of the common things you and your previous partner did instead of the normal dating process. A few potential activities of established relationships are as follows: Binge-watching a series on Netflix Talking about the ideal home together Discussing future, mutual finances
Summary: Make a list of common interests. Determine if you're keeping it casual. Don't act like a comfortable old couple.

Problem: Article: To start a legal serve, keep your hand completely open and flat after you pick up the ball. Let the ball sit there for a second or two, as your hand needs to be stationary, or still, before you throw it up into the air. Any illegal serve can result in the official calling it "incorrect." While you may be warned one time during a match or if the official is unsure if the serve is legal, any clearly incorrect serves will lead your opponent to get your points! The hand holding the ball (which will become your "free hand") has to be above the table as you get ready to serve. The ball itself should remain behind the end of the table (your serve line). Your thumb can cross the serve line as long as the ball itself doesn't. Unlike the ball, your racket can be hidden under the table. Doing this may help you hide the kind of serve you're going to make. You'll need to quickly bring your racket up once you throw the ball into the air to get ready to serve. Until you've practiced serving, leave your racket hand above the table. This tricky technique is legal, but it's best reserved for more advanced players. This is the minimum height required by the officials. Any lower and it won't be counted as a legal serve. The ball needs to be thrown up vertically rather than sideways or diagonally. Make sure that your throw makes the ball go almost straight up into the air. You can't, for example, just drop the ball from a height of 6.3 inches (16 cm). This won't be considered a vertical toss. Don't hit the ball when it's still going up in the air or when it's at the top of your throw. Wait until it's coming back down toward the table to avoid getting called out by the official. Hit the ball so that it lands on your side first. If it just sails over the net without bouncing, it's an illegal serve. Practice until you get the proper amount of force needed to follow this rule. You want a serve that's fast enough to trick your opponent, but not so strong that it misses your side of the table. The ball can also go around the net so long as you can curve it enough to get it back onto your opponent's side of the table. This is a pretty difficult skill, so aim straight over the net until you're sure you can make a curving serve. Your opponent's whole side is fair game if it's just the two of you. This lets you really use the table. You can do short and long serves to make the match more difficult for your opponent. You're restricted to the square that's diagonal from you if you're playing with partners. Anything that hits outside this square is illegal. It's illegal to "hide" the the ball from the official or your opponent with your hand once you've served. Pull your free hand all the way back so you don't get accused of doing this.
Summary:
Hold the ball flat in the palm of your hand. Keep the ball above the table and behind your serve line. Keep your racket hand below the table to hide it. Throw the ball at least 6.3 inches (16 cm) up in the air. Strike the ball when it's falling. Bounce the ball on your side before it goes over the net. Hit anywhere on the table if you're playing singles. Hit the opposite diagonal if you're playing doubles. Move your free arm away from the ball once you've served.
