Q: Young kittens and nursing mothers cannot always tolerate medication as well as other cats. It's always best to talk over treatment options with your vet beforehand, especially if you're considering using chemical treatments. The first thing you should do when you notice a flea infestation is take your cat and kittens to the vets for assessment. In general, topical medications are not safe for kittens, especially kittens under six weeks of age. Young kittens respond better to treatments like baths, combing, and manual removal. Only use topical medications on your kittens if your vet suggests it. Make sure to follow your vet's instructions closely when using such medications. If you're using a topical medication, make sure it is specifically designed for cats. Similar products designed for dogs do not use the same chemicals. They can be very dangerous when administered to cats.
A: Talk to a vet first whenever possible. Refrain from using topical medications on kittens. Do not use products intended for dogs on cats.

Q: Dolorimetry is the measurement of pain sensitivity or pain intensity by instruments that can apply heat, pressure or electrical stimulation to some part of your body. The concept was developed in 1940 in order to test how well pain medication worked, although the devices used to cause pain and have advanced quite a bit over the decades.  Lasers and various electrical devices are now used to test your tolerance to pain — but not measure pre-existing pain from some disease or injury. Dolorimeters are calibrated to determine how much stimulation (from heat, pressure or electrical impulses) you can take before you describe it as painful. For example, most people express painful sensations when their skin is heated to 113 °F. In general, women have higher pain thresholds than men, although men have greater abilities to work through high levels of pain. New technology and breakthroughs are allowing doctors and researchers to evaluate pain levels from fMRI brain scans, which might eventually replace the dependency on self-reporting (via questionnaires and visual scales) to measure the presence or absence of pain. The new tool (an fMRI given in real time) documents patterns of brain activity to give an objective assessment of whether someone is in pain or not.  Using functional MRI scans of the brain and advanced computer algorithms, researchers claim that they can detect pain 81% of the time in patients. Because the sensation of pain causes certain identifiable brain patterns, this new MRI tool can substantiate a person's pain and also expose someone who may be faking it. Although the technology can detect pain within people, it cannot yet determine the extent (intensity) of the pain. We all know the common facial expressions that signify a person is in pain, such as wincing, grimacing and frowning. The problem is that facial expressions are easy to fake, or sometimes they are misinterpreted due to cultural reasons. However, advanced facial recognition software allows doctors and researchers to determine if a person is truly in pain and, to a lesser extent, the degree of pain they feel.  Patients are typically videoed while being physically examined or doing an activity that's meant to elicit pain, such as bending over of a person claims they have low back pain. The facial recognition software analyses various points on the face for typical painful expressions and correlates the timing to an activity or exam — such as a practitioner putting pressure on a reportedly painful body part. Facial recognition software if expensive and not meant for people to describe or measure their own pain, but rather for doctors / practitioners to prove or disprove the presence of pain.
A: Use a dolorimeter to test your pain threshold or tolerance. Get a functional MRI brain scan to objectify your pain. Use facial analysis to determine pain.

Q: Working with friends will give you all an advantage.  Remember that your goal will be to share what cards you have with each other.  You will need at least one friend. Too many friends will increase the risk of getting caught. Choosing friends who are trustworthy cheaters will work best.  Selecting someone who isn't in line with your cheating can get you caught.  Only select friends you have known for a long time. Make sure you feel that your friend will agree before asking. Select a signal that will communicate which cards are in each of your hands.  Try to make your signals subtle and repeatable.  Do not choose any signal that might be too obvious to other players outside your friends.  Placement of chips Coughing Tapping the table Blinking Touching ears, eyes, nose, neck, or some other body part. Do not go into a game unpracticed.  Practicing your signals and methods will help you to remain calm and not tip any other players off that you are working together to cheat  Practicing reduces stress, which could get you caught. Work out who is going to raise, fold, call, and when. Keep signals simple and secret. Develop strategies as well and decide when to use them. Working together is certainly cheating.  Do not let new groups of people know that you and your friends know each other.  Playing with familiar people will require you and your accomplices to be extremely subtle.  Don't give any clues or hints that you might be working together. Play as if you don't know what your friends hands are. Avoid playing too well.  Make some mistakes to throw other players off.
A:
Gather a friend or friends. Select friends you can trust. Decide your communications. Practice with your friends. Keep your team work a secret.
