. Your cat may become excited or scared when covered in water, so to decrease the damage they may cause, trim their nails before you give them a bath. Try to do this a few hours or even a day or two before the bath so they have time to calm down bathing. Take care to cut at a point which will not cause pain or bleeding. Giving your kitty treats as a reward for getting their nails trimmed will always make them feel better and calmer. . Do not skip this step. Brushing the cat will help remove any knots and tangles in the fur, which will be much more difficult and painful to remove once your cat is wet. If your kitty likes getting brushed, then you can use the brush to make the kitty feel more at home in the tub. Sometimes you can even brush your cat as a way to distract them enough to allow their nails to be trimmed. This is a great way of killing two birds with one stone, but you'll need another person to help you. You can get kitty shampoo from your vet or local pet store. Check the instructions to see if it's right for your cat, and dilute it with water if necessary. Using regular human shampoo can not only dry out your cat's skin but can be toxic for your cat. Don't use dog shampoo in a pinch, either. You're better off using water rather than a product that can harm your cat. You may want a washcloth for massaging the shampoo onto your cat's body, but your hands may actually be better for this. The first thing you should do is tire your kitty out, so they are at their most mellow before they enter the water. This will make them less likely to bite, scratch, or to try to get away. Pick a time when your kitty is at their calmest — often after they have been fed. If they still act hyper, play with them as much as you can until they are worn out. Here are some other ways to get your kitty adjusted to the bath before you start bathing them:  Put some cat toys in the empty tub. Place your cat in it and play for a few minutes. Then stop and add a little water before playing again. By doing so, you'll get your cat used to the tub and water. Bath time will soon be associated with something pleasant and non-threatening. You could also have a special toy just for bath time, such as a mouse on a string or something that floats. Only allow your cat to play with this toy in the tub and it will inspire him to look forward to bathing, instead of fearing it. You can also create positive associations with baths by offering your cat its favorite treat before and after bathing or by giving it gentle head or belly scratches as you wash it.

summary: Trim your cat's claws Brush your cat Get the right cat shampoo. Make your cat want to bathe.

Progressive rock albums are normally arranged purposefully to take the listener on a journey. Make time to sit down and listen to the album all the way through, which may take up to an hour for longer albums. Try not to skip any tracks, and pay attention to the musical changes throughout the songs. If you don’t have a lot of free time, try listening to full albums while you drive in the car or do other activities. Listening to prog rock as background music is a great way to introduce yourself to the genre. Some progressive rock albums, like Genesis’ “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway,” Camel’s “The Snow Goose,” and The Moody Blues’ “Days Of Future Passed,” tell complete stories from the first track to the last. As you listen, close your eyes and pay attention to the singer’s words to hear the plot of the story. Although not all progressive rock albums tell a complete story, most individual songs will tell their own mini-story. Spend some time listening to the music without paying attention to the lyrics or listening to versions without singing in them. Focus on one instrument at a time, or listen to them altogether as a whole unit. Listen closely for difficult guitar riffs, complex drum solos, and impressive vocal feats. Albums like Genesis’ “Selling England By The Pound,” Yes’s “Close To The Edge,” and Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side Of The Moon” are considered landmarks in recorded music because of the amazing skills that were required to make them. Once you’ve listened to an album all the way through, take a small break and then listen to it again. During your second listen, focus on hearing new facets of the music that you didn’t pay attention to the first time. Clarify any lyrics that you’re not sure of, and enjoy some of you favorite parts from your first listen. If you’re not sure what to listen for, read some online reviews of the album and pay attention to the parts that the reviewer points out. Normally, these will be especially complex musical portions or important lyrics. Talking about music is one of the best ways to really appreciate it, and this is especially true for prog rock. If you know someone who likes the genre, you can tell them a little about what albums you like, and ask them if they have any albums or bands in mind that you might enjoy. Once you and your friend have listened to the same albums, you can discuss your favorite tracks, your opinions of the album overall, and your thoughts about how the album fits into the genre.

summary: Listen to entire albums to get a better understanding of the musical theme. Pay close attention to the lyrics to discern the “plot” of the songs. Find instrumental versions of songs to appreciate the artists' musical skills. Give albums a second listen to hear new aspects of the music. Ask friends and other music lovers for recommendations.

The first thing to do is turn the chair over, and look at all hardware. Get a screwdriver or wrench and tighten any loose ones. Even try to tighten the parts that don't appear loose. Over time, it is easy for screws and bolts to become loose, causing certain chair parts to rub together irregularly and create a squeaky noise. Apply a lubricating oil on all of the nuts, screws and bolts to help loosen the joints. Simply spray oil directly on the the chair mechanisms, and pat them dry. You can also spray oil on a soft cotton cloth, and rub the oil onto your problem areas to have more control over where the oil goes.  Moisture in the air and air conditioners cause rust. Regularly applying oil prevents rust from occurring and building up. If the chair still squeaks after adding lubricant and tightening all bolts and screws, take them all out, and lubricate them with a light machine oil before putting them back in. To help you locate the area of the chair that is squeaking, have someone sit in it, and swivel from side to side. By applying weight to the chair to make it squeak, it will allow you to more easily locate the source of the noise to more accurately apply oil. Each time you apply more oil, ask your friend to swivel the chair so you can see if you put oil in the right spot. A chair may only squeak when you lean back, which is usually caused by too much tension where the spring's ends rub on the housing ends. To fix this, apply oil to the seat tension spring located inside the turn-knob housing. Simply loosen the seat tension turn-knob and remove the turn-knob to spray oil inside the housing. Desk chairs are often on wheels that may move a lot, so it is common for the axles in the wheels to need some silicone spray over time. Turn the chair over and spray the wheels. Then, flip the chair back over, and roll the chair to spread the silicone around the entire wheel. Collapsing into a chair will eventually cause it to squeak. Chairs go through a lot of wear and tear, so to keep your chair silent, be cautious when you sit down as to not speed up loosening joints.
summary: Check the nuts, bolts, and screws. Grease the mechanisms. Remove the bolts and screws completely before adding any lubricant. Have a friend sit in the chair as you apply oil. Fix the springs in the back of the chair. Roll the chair back and forth to check out the wheels. Sit down gently.
