You'll likely need a minimum of 20 or 30 minutes to get your cat out of hiding and comfortable enough to get into a carrier. If possible, work this into your schedule so you can avoid having to fight with it and force it into a carrier. Try keeping the carrier in its space at all times, and place its food inside the carrier so the cat will associate it with good things. If you need to make a vet appointment or otherwise get your cat out of hiding in a hurry, try coaxing it with pet treats or a piece of canned tuna. You can also use a chase toy, like a feather on a string, to help it forget about its fear or shyness. Continue to play with it for 10 to 15 minutes. If you need to get it in a carrier, try placing treats in the carrier, and avoid forcing it in the carrier unless absolutely necessary. Feliway contains synthetic pheromones that can help soothe your cat. Spray it around your cat's hiding spot to encourage it to come out of hiding. It'll relax your cat and make it want to investigate the scent. Don't spray Feliway right in front of your cat. It could startle your cat, making it even less willing to come out of hiding. Once it's relaxed, it'll probably want to rub against you and be stroked. You should give it some loving attention after spraying Feliway instead of trying to rush it into the carrier.

One-sentence summary -- Give yourself plenty of time to get your cat in a carrier. Offer treats and toys. Try spraying Feliway.

Lung cancer can be treated in a variety of ways. However, the treatment that your doctor chooses for you will depend on: Your overall health. The size of the cancer tumor. The exact location of the tumor. The stage of the tumor. This is done by a thoracic surgeon. The goal of the surgery is to remove the whole tumor and the surrounding lymph nodes. This is done to ensure that no cancer cells are left on adjacent tissues. The time taken for recovery will depend on the surgical procedure that has been done and the amount of tissue that has been removed. The recovery will also depend on your condition before the surgical procedure. Radiation therapy is a treatment option where x-rays that have high energy are used to destroy the cancerous cells. This procedure is done by a radiation oncologist. The most common type of this treatment is external beam therapy where a machine is placed on the external part of your body. Radiation can also be given using implants that are inserted inside your body, which is called internal therapy. The side effects that may occur after radiation therapy include decreased appetite, fatigue, sore throat and dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). Your skin might also feel irritated where the therapy was applied. Chemotherapy involves taking drugs that may stop the cancerous cells from multiplying and dividing. Most of these drugs are given intravenously and work systematically through your body in an attempt to kill all the cancerous cells. You may receive several drugs at once. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, decreased appetite, hair loss, diarrhea and increased risk of infection. You may be given other drugs that will help to reduce the side effects that may occur during chemotherapy treatment. Some of these modes of treatment may be combined to increase your chances of defeating the cancer. For example, you may have a surgical procedure done to remove the cancer, followed by radiotherapy to kill off any remaining cancerous cells.

Each strip needs to be 4 inches (10 centimeters) long. You can match the color to your case or to the trim. You can also use a third color, but make sure that it goes well with the other two. Place your first strip down, sticky-side up. Place your second strip right on top of it, sticky-side-down. Make sure that they overlap by 1 inches (4 centimeters). You will have about a inch (2 centimeters) of excess tape along the top and bottom long edges. Fold the top edge down first. Flip the strap over, then fold the other edge down as well. You should now have a strap that has smooth, finished edges on both sides. Flip your phone case over so that the back is visible. Cut a strip of duct tape that is 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) wider than your strap. Center the end of the strap on the back of the tape, then secure the tape to the back of your case. Make sure that the strap is centered; it should be halfway down the length of your case. Cut a piece of self-adhesive Velcro that is a little narrower than your strap. Peel off the plastic backing from one side, then press it against the inside of the strap. Do not pull apart the two Velcro halves yet. Once you have the Velcro secure to the back of the strap, peel away the second plastic backing. Pull the strap across the front of your case to where you want it to be, then press down on it. Use your fingernail to gently pry the two Velcro hales apart. Press down on them

Before you start looking for an independent contractor, take some time to figure out exactly what skills they'll need to complete the work you have for them. Hiring an independent contractor can be different from hiring a contractor for a construction job or other labor position. Your methods for evaluating their skills and experience will be different as well. For example, if you want someone to write content for your business's website, you could ask for a writing sample to evaluate. If you also want them to design your content pages, on the other hand, you might look for web design education or certifications. If someone you know and trust has recently hired an independent contractor for similar reasons, ask who they used. A referral can save you a lot of time and money checking someone's background. Find out what kind of work the independent contractor generally does, and how much your friend or colleague paid them. Ask specifically if your friend or colleague has any reservations in recommending the independent contractor, or if they had any issues. An issue that wasn't a problem for them may be a deal-breaker for you. Even if an independent contractor has been recommended to you, check reviews of the contractor and find out all you can about their reputation in the industry. Search online to find their website. If they have a portfolio of recent projects, it can give you an idea whether they would work well for you. If they have any licenses or certifications, check with the agency that issued the license or certification and make sure it's valid and in good standing. There are a number of websites, such as Upwork and Guru, where you can advertise work for independent contractors and freelancers. Typically independent contractors then bid on your project and you can select the one you want to use. Talking to several people not only helps you find the best qualified independent contractor to handle your project, it also allows you to get the work done at the right price. Have an amount in mind that you are willing to pay for the work, and allow contractors to submit bids on the project. Ask questions about their past experience and subject matter expertise. Find out whether they've completed projects similar to yours. Get the names of previous clients with projects similar to yours who you can contact about the contractor. Your independent contractor should have a good idea up front of exactly what work you want them to complete, what aspects of the work they'll be responsible for, and how long the job is expected to last. Particularly if they are working for other clients, get a good idea of how many hours a day (or week) they can devote to your project. If you need them to be available during specific hours, let them know. Be clear about your expectations for the project and your goals for completion. If they will be required to bring their own tools or resources to complete the project, let them know this up front.
