In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If the cat belongs to you, you need to take a close look at the reason why you need to rehome the cat. If you have any alternatives to getting rid of your cat, you should consider taking them. For example, many people believe it is unsafe to have a litter tray in the house when they are pregnant and therefore look to rehome a much loved feline companion. This fear arises from the (albeit slim) chance of picking up toxoplasma infection. However, scientists now believe the main route of infection is inadequately cooked meat rather than cat feces. If you wear disposable gloves and a mask, and clear the poop within 24 hours of it being produced the risk of infection is negligible. These simple measures could prevent the need for rehoming. If in doubt speak to your veterinarian who can advise you further on protecting your health and minimizing the risk of infection. For example, a new baby in the house may have you feeling protective and worried about how the cat will react and if the cat will sleep on the baby and smother it. This is extremely unlikely to happen but if it's something that worries you, close the cat out of the room when the baby is alone. Take simple precautions, like keep the litter tray away from the baby and wash your hands after petting the cat.  If you are moving abroad, be aware that a pet passport scheme operates widely now. Make inquiries at the embassy of the country you are moving to and ask them about the necessary protocol to import a cat into their country. Your vet can work closely with you to ensure the relevant vaccinations, blood tests, and paperwork is issued, and it's no big deal. It might be that you are moving within the country and just noticed your rental agreement has a 'no pets' clause. Before rehoming the cat, be honest with the landlord and ask if there is the possibility of making an exception. Some landlords put the clause on as a matter of routine, to protect themselves should a tenant have a destructive pet. Many landlords are open to a discussion about pets. It is especially helpful if you can put together a portfolio of documents that illustrate how well-behaved and well-cared for your pet it. A dossier containing records of vaccination certificates, vet checks, references from previous landlords, pictures of your pet doing cute things, like sleeping, can all go some way to convince a wavering landlord. Indeed, cats are hugely beneficial to a growing child. It's been shown that kids raised in a house with pets are less likely to develop asthma and allergies in later life.  Having a pet can reduce stress in owners of all ages. They can also provide love and companionship to their owners, which can be especially important to people who live alone or are house bound. Don't just abandon your cat and don't take it to a shelter unless you have exhausted all other possibilities. You have the responsibility to find it a safe and loving home where it can thrive. This may take some time and effort but you have that obligation to the cat.
Summary: Decide whether you really need to rehome your cat. Consider alternatives to rehoming. Keep in mind the benefits of having a cat. Place your cat in a great new home.

Problem: Article: Being a woman is not just about the body you are developing: it also has to do with the way you think and feel about yourself. It might take a lot of time and hard work before you feel like a true woman, but there are steps you can take to make the transition. The world is constantly changing, and there are a lot of things to learn. Consider purchasing or checking out of the library books that can help orient you to the world of womanhood. Pay attention to the memoirs and autobiographies of women you respect. You will be exposed to the challenges they faced, which will help you confront your own challenges. If you act like an adult, not only will you be treated like an adult but you will also have higher self-esteem. Some key steps you can take include:  Avoiding procrastination. Take responsibility for your commitments, and complete your tasks in a timely way. Having good manners. Behaving in a kind and polite way can help set the stage for a responsible adulthood.  Standing up for yourself. Politeness is important, but it does not mean that you should be walked all over. Learn how to express your views with confidence, even if the people around you are not behaving as politely as you are. While women tend to underestimate their abilities, men tend to overestimate their abilities. This is known as the "confidence gap." Keep this in mind as you enter adulthood: even if you feel nervous about a task, you might very well be the most competent person in the room. Some ways you can overcome the confidence gap include:  Seeking out female role models. Find women in leadership positions who can help you learn leadership skills of your own, such as how to speak with confidence, how to supervise a team, and how to engage in constructive criticism.  Not letting your "niceness" keep you down. Kindness and politeness are important skills for adulthood, but women are often told to be nice and polite at the expense of their knowledge and expertise. Try to find a good balance between acting kindly and sticking to your guns.  Speaking confidently. Practice speaking to others with power and confidence. Stand up straight, project your voice, keep eye contact with your listeners, and speak in definitive tones. Resist the urge to make your definitive statements sound like you are asking questions or asking for permission ("uptalk"). Passing it on. Just as young women depend on other women for leadership skills, you have the potential to be a key role model for younger generations too. Pass along your unique knowledge and skill sets to a younger woman who could benefit from it, and continue to hone your leadership skills. Being up-to-date about important current events and news items is a great way for you to appear knowledgeable and responsible. You will have lots of material for adult conversations and will also begin to learn about your place in a much larger world. This can also help you decide what your values are as you enter the world of adulthood. Consider:  Reading, watching, or listening to the news regularly. Find journalists you respect and follow their stories. Read well-researched nonfiction books about topics you care about. Make your own conclusions. While you will have to get your information from other sources at first, eventually you will be able to analyze events on your own. If you are old enough to vote, you can vote for the candidates and policies that align most closely with your own. If not, you can find other ways to get involved, such as by writing, signing petitions, or volunteering with organizations you care about. Most cultures have some kind of important ceremonial marker to designate when a boy becomes a man or when a girl becomes a woman. These rituals can help make a young person feel like an adult and a full-fledged member of a community. Whether it is a Sweet 16 party, a Quinceanera, or a Ji Li, these rituals serve as a significant turning point in the life of a young woman. Depending on what culture you identify with, you might want to plan a coming-of-age ritual or party to mark the beginning of your life as a woman and to bid farewell to your girlhood. It is important to set independent goals for what you want your life path to look like. These goals might be different from your parents' goals and they might be influenced by your friends and peers instead. You might even set goals that are completely different from those in your family or peer group. Perhaps the most important marker of a mature woman is that she lives according to her decisions and values. Think carefully about what you want out of life, and make a plan to live up to those goals.
Summary:
Tell yourself that being a woman is a mindset. Read coming-of-age books by and about women. Learn appropriate social skills and behaviors. Act with confidence. Learn about the world. Take part in a coming-of-age ritual. Make goals for yourself and live up to them.
