Problem: Article: Speak in a soft voice while you gently stroke the cat. Over time, the cat will get used to your voice and scent and will be less afraid of being touched. Don’t worry if the cat won’t let you touch them very often at first, this is normal behaviour for a stray cat. If the cat won’t let you touch them, continue to talk softly to it until it is ready to let you stroke it. Many stray cats will interpret direct eye contact as threatening. Look briefly at the cat and then close your eyes or shift your gaze away. This will help the cat to feel safe and calm in its new environment.  Over time, slowly increase the amount of eye contact that you give your cat. If you accidentally stare at the cat, simply shut your eyes for a few seconds and slowly turn your head away. Feed your cat at the same time each day. This demonstrates to your cat that you are a trustworthy source of food and will help it to bond with you.  If the cat won’t eat the food you give it, try different cat food brands until you find one that it likes. Your cat will be calmer and less erratic with a regular feeding schedule. If you have multiple pets in your home, the stray cat may feel overwhelmed. Bring 1 animal into the cat's room at a time to allow them to slowly get acquainted. Once both animals seem comfortable, introduce another animal. Continue to repeat this process until all your pets are comfortable being in the same space together. If your other pets don’t normally respond well to new animals, place them in their carry bag for 15 minutes in the stray cat's room. This will help them to get used to each other very slowly. This time inside allows it to bond with your family and pets and will help it to remember to return home once it is let outside. Let the cat outside on a warm dry day and ensure that it is hungry. This helps to encourage the cat to come home to eat.  If the cat is scared to go outside, walk beside it to help reassure it. Most vets recommend keeping the cat inside.
Summary: Talk to the cat while you pat it to help it bond with you. Avoid eye contact with the cat to help gain its trust. Keep a regular feeding schedule to show the cat that you’re reliable. Introduce other pets to the cat slowly. Let your cat outside after 3 weeks if you don’t want it to be an inside cat.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Have you ever seen a beautiful woman in a magazine or on television and wished you looked like her? Do you compare what you see in the media to what you see in the mirror? The more you view these images, the more critical you will be of yourself. Try to ban or at least limit the media that you are consuming.  When you do look at these images, remind yourself that those women have been photo-shopped and manipulated to look a certain way. You may not even recognize those women if you saw them in real life. Try to find positive images in the media that do not focus on how women look. You may find profiles of women who are being praised for their talents, skills, and abilities. Your body is going through a lot of changes, and you may not like all of them. However, try to point out the things you like about your body (e.g. your hair, your teeth, your hands, etc.) instead of everything that is wrong with it. Be proud of the things that your body can do as well..  For example, if you are an athlete, focus on how strong your body is and how it allows you to play your sport. If you are a musician, focus on how your hands allow you to play an instrument well. You may not be able to change your body, but you you can change the way you feel about your body. Negative self-talk about your body can really hurt your confidence. Try to counter any negative thoughts you have about your body with something more objective. Would you criticize your friend's body the same way you criticize your own body?  Instead of saying "my arms are huge and ugly," say, "my arms could use a little work." Also avoid talking negatively about other girls' bodies. Treating your body well from the inside out can help you feel more confident about your looks. Exercising regularly, eating a healthy, well-balanced diet, and wearing clothes that you feel good in can improve your body image. Your appearance is one of the many things that makes you who you are.  Exercising is also a good way to boost your feel good hormones and improve your mood. Accept the things you cannot change about your body such as your eye color, height, shape, or skin color.
Summary:
Avoid looking at the media. Focus on the things you like about your body. Do not say negative things about your body. Take pride in your appearance.
