Problem: Article: For the first week, you should keep your new cat in her safe room and keep your other cat or cats in the rest of the house. Make sure the safe room isn't a favorite room of your other cat, or he will try to go in the room and feel anxious when not allowed inside. Let the cats stay in their separate environments. They will slowly become accustomed to one another's sounds and presences. Let the cats get accustomed to each other's smells before they officially meet. Start brushing them with the same brush, petting one cat and then petting another, or introducing one cat to the other cat's favorite blanket or toy.  At first, the cats may feel threatened by the new smell, but they should get used to it. Start leaving the door to the safe room open a crack, so the cats can start smelling each other. Rub a towel against the new cat's scent glands on the cheek and give it to the old cats to investigate. Do the opposite thing with the old cat's scent glands as well. This will help your cats learn each other's scent in concentrated form. Put the new cat in her carrier and take her to another room in the house. She will still need her room, so keep it as her territory for the time being. Place the carrier containing the new cat on a safe chair so the cats can sniff and explore the each other without them chasing each other or fighting. Raise the cat carrier off the floor to elevate the new cat and helps her to feel less vulnerable.  The old cats will approach your new cat with curiosity, to smell and get to know each other. If the new cat or old cats are acting very aggressively, end the meeting. Don't rush this process. Just separate the cats and try again the next day. If things didn't go well, make sure to play with each cat separately prior to each meeting so that they are physically tired and less likely to look for a fight. Consider feeding your cats on either side of a barrier where they can see but not reach each other. A mesh child gate is a good option. You want to engineer meetings without tension so they accept each other's company without stress.  You should always be around for their interactions, because things could get violent or aggressive.  If the behavior remains violent, feed them in opposite parts of the house. Then, slowly bring their food closer together, until they get used to eating side by side. Start giving the cats more time to be together each day as your new cat gets used to the rest of the house. Each day, make sure that the cats like each other more and spend more time together. If things seem to be getting worse, bring your new cat back to the safe room.  At first, maintain separate litter boxes for each cat. They need their own resources, which includes litter trays, feeding and water bowls, and beds. To force a cat to share instantly creates friction between the cats. Make sure that the cats' time together is happy and calm. When the cats are together, you should feed them, give them treats, play with them, and give them lots of love and attention. They should associate their time together with happiness and fun. If you have other pets, introduce the new cat to each of the cats first. Take it one pet at a time, and have the new cat adjust to your cats before you bring in the dog. The cat will hear the dog and will know that there's another pet in the house, but if you introduce the dog first, the cat will be confused and overwhelmed. If you have multiple cats, introduce the cat to the alpha cat first. If you've tried these techniques for over a month and your cats are not getting along, it's time to find a new home for your new cat. If the cats are constantly fighting, hissing, and growling, and they can't be alone together, they never will. Though this will be very disappointing, remember it's better than living in a home with warring pets, or leaving two cats in a violent environment. You want your new cat to be safe and happy, whether it's in your home or not.
Summary: Separate the cats. Introduce the cats to each other's smells. Let the cats meet. Feed your cats near each other. Let the cats spend more time together. Take it one pet at a time. Know when it's not working.

Problem: Article: Use a circular or hand saw to cut the wood on the mark you made for length.  Use safety goggles to make sure you don't get sawdust in your eyes. Saw in a well ventilated area. Using a chisel, drill and wood rasp, gouge out the wood within the rectangular area while being very careful not to split the wood.  Use a combination of all three tools to slowly remove the wood inside the rectangle until you have a rectangle shaped hole. Use sandpaper to smooth the area around the hole after you have finished. This grove will be centered and extend from the rectangle hole to the end of the wood.  Find and mark the center of the end of the wood, farthest from the string groove. Find and mark the center of the end of the rectangle hole, farthest from the string groove. Draw a straight line between the two marks. Use a drill, chisel, and hammer to carve a ¼ inch deep channel along the marked line. Sand the groove until completely smooth. Use varnish, wood stain, or another wood sealer to ensure the wood will be protected from the elements.  Wait until the glue has dried completely before applying a sealer.     {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/b0\/Make-a-Homemade-Compound-Crossbow-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Make-a-Homemade-Compound-Crossbow-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/b0\/Make-a-Homemade-Compound-Crossbow-Step-8.jpg\/aid1845017-v4-728px-Make-a-Homemade-Compound-Crossbow-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
