INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For most vegans, the best fine dining options come from specialty restaurants catering to their specific diet. Unlike traditional eateries, these restaurants use vegan options by default or have the ingredients and knowledge necessary to make tasty substitutions. Websites like HappyCow and Urban Tastebud offer extensive lists of vegetarian and vegan restaurants separated by location. With the notable exceptions of lamb and entrees served with tzatziki, many traditional Middle Eastern and Ethiopian dishes are free from meat or animal byproducts. Look for items like injera, hummus, baba ghanouj, tahini, and falafel. When ordering falafel, make sure that the restaurant prepares them Middle Eastern style, not Greek style with a yogurt-based dressing. Because their dishes often revolve around vegetables and grains, many Mexican, Italian, and Indian restaurants are vegan friendly.  Be aware that some restaurants, even traditional ones, use ingredients like chicken stock, egg whites, cheese, and milk to lower their expenses or alter the taste of a dish, so call ahead to make sure their food is vegan-friendly. When dining, try dishes like:  Fried rice and refritos with guacamole at Mexican restaurants. Spaghetti with marinara sauce and garlic bread at Italian restaurants. Chana masala with basmati rice and papadums at Indian restaurants. Casual dining and fast food chains are rarely thought of as vegan-friendly. However, because they serve standardized food, it’s easy to know what items will meet your needs and what you need to avoid. Some vegan-friendly dishes include:  French fries from restaurants like Burger King, Hardee’s, Jack in the Box, Wendy’s, and Denny’s. Black bean based products from restaurants like Taco Bell, Subway, Chipotle, TGI Fridays, and The Cheesecake Factory. Cheese-free marinara pizzas from Little Caesars, Papa John’s, and Pizza Hut.

SUMMARY: Look for vegan and vegetarian restaurants. Try traditional Middle Eastern and Ethiopian restaurants. Try Mexican, Italian, and Indian restaurants. Look for vegan-friendly chain restaurants.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Clean the kitten straightaway if it’s very dirty and covered with mud, dirt, or other detritus. Leaving a kitten in a soiled condition for too long will be uncomfortable for it and can lead to a rash. Cleaning a heavily soiled kitten will mean giving it a bath rather than just a simple wipe down with a flannel. Prepare the supplies before you begin bathing the kitten. Here’s what you’ll need:  A clean flannel and towel(s). Mild hand soap (no harsh chemicals or cleaners). A basin or sink. Consult with your veterinarian about products to use if your kitten has fleas. The water temperature should be about 95 °F (35 °C). This temperature will help the kitten stay warm and keep it comfortable. To gauge the water’s temperature, touch the water with your hand, place it on your wrist, and feel the degree of temperature on your own skin. It is important to keep the water at a reasonable temperature. The kitten’s skin is sensitive. Water that is too hot can burn the skin easily, while cold water can reduce the kitten’s body temperature. Fill the basin until it’s about 4 inches (10 cm) full before your kitten gets introduced to the water. Do not submerge your orphaned kitten in too much water because it may be too weak to keep itself from drowning. Use your hand to wet the kitten’s hind quarters and lower belly, rather than submerging it in water.  Wet the kitten gently, and use slow, smooth movements while you’re handling the kitten. This will help it feel safe. After you’ve supported the kitten in the sink for a few days, try letting it stand in the water for a few seconds at a time. Begin by squeezing a small amount of shampoo on a cloth. Gently rub shampoo over the kitten’s whole body, not forgetting to clean its face, abdomen, legs, and back. Start shampooing its head and move down to the back, belly, and tail. Try to remove the feces or urine excreta from the fur by rubbing it out with the cloth. Keep water and soap out of the kitten’s eyes, ears and face. This could irritate sensitive areas and scare the kitten. After spreading the shampoo on your kitten’s body, rinse it thoroughly by using a cup of water and pouring it slowly over the kitten’s neck and back. Use a damp cloth to clean the soap off of the kitten’s face. Move gingerly to help the kitten feel safe, and avoid splashing water in its eyes.  Do not place the kitten’s head directly under the tap. This will startle the kitten and make it more difficult to control during future bath times. If the kitten seems nervous or afraid, speak to it in a calming voice. Bathing the kitten should only take 5–10 minutes. Once you’ve finished, dry the body of your kitten with a dry towel. Then wrap the kitten with another soft and dry towel and put it in a warm place until dry. If the kitten seems cold or is shivering, hold it against your body to keep it calm and warm it up. You can rub the soft towel on the direction of kitten’s hair to hasten the drying process. This will also build up friction and warm the kitten.

SUMMARY:
Prepare the kitten’s bath supplies. Run the tap water to adjust the temperature of the water. Fill a basin or sink halfway with warm water. Wash a flea-free kitten with a mild pet shampoo. Rinse the kitten off completely. Wrap the kitten in a towel when you’re done.
