In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can scruff a kitten to help calm her down at any point in the process, but this isn't always possible while you're scrubbing or lathering shampoo. If your kitten has shown difficulty adjusting to the water alone, then enlist help from a second person before taking the next step. Have the person on hand and ready to scruff her if she panics or tries to claw her way out while you already have your hands full. After the kitten has adjusted to standing in water without struggling, you can start wetting more of the cat's fur in the bath. Initially, trying using a wet washcloth to rub down the kitten instead of pouring water. This will combine the wetting-down process with some nice petting and scratches along your kitten's back, which the kitten will enjoy more than simply getting drenched with water.  Don't use any type of shampoo yet at this point. Just give the kitten a couple of washcloth-scrub baths first to help the cat adjust. If you try using shampoo before the kitten has fully acclimated to receiving baths, then you could get stuck with a panicking, soapy kitten. As with other steps, offer plenty of praise and treats to reinforce when your kitten reacts appropriately to the bath.  A full bath with shampoo should only take around five minutes, so aim to acclimate the kitten to this length of time in the tub. After the kitten has adjusted to receiving a bath with a wet washcloth, then you can move on to using a small cup or bowl to pour some of the water over the kitten's back. As always, offer praise and treats if the kitten is receptive to the new step in the process. Getting water in the kitten's eyes, ears, or nose can be very dangerous for the kitten. As you get closer to the kitten's head while pouring the water, ensure that you lift the kitten's chin and also use your hand to prevent water from running down over the kitten's face. To wash the kitten's face, use a clean, damp washcloth without any shampoo to wipe around the eyes, ears, and mouth. Use short strokes following the lie of the fur to mimic a mother licking the kitten. Use about a dime-size portion of a kitten-formulated pet shampoo. Spread the shampoo around on the kitten's wet coat and lather up the fur. Scrub around the flanks and tummy and don't forget to scrub between the paw pads to loosen any trapped dirt. Lift the kitten's tail and gently use a soft washcloth if you need to clean around the kitten's anus.  Ensure that you use a shampoo for kittens and not human shampoo. The pH balance is very different, and human shampoo will overly dry your kitten's skin. Even after you kitten has adjusted to the shampooing, you should still only use it every other time you bathe your cat to keep from over drying the kitten's skin. Since the kitten should already be accustomed to you pouring the water, you should easily be able to rinse the shampoo off the kitten now. For any soap around the top of the kitten's head, use a clean, wrung-out washcloth to wipe out the shampoo instead of pouring water on your kitten's head. Don't rush, but don't leave the kitten to soak in the water either. The entire process for wetting, scrubbing, and rinsing the kitten should only take about five minutes. You don't want to test the kitten's patience for the whole process as this can make it harder for the cat to acclimate to baths in the long run. As with all steps in the process, stay calm and use a soothing, reassuring voice to offer consistent praise to the kitten during the bath. This should help keep the kitten calmer for longer. As with any of the other steps that required the kitten getting wet, you should gently towel dry the kitten as soon as you remove it from the water to avoid the kitten getting too cold. Though a towel is preferable, if you want to use a blowdryer to dry the kitten, ensure that you use the coolest temperature on the lowest speed setting and keep the blowdryer at least twelve inches away from the animal.
Summary: Consider enlisting help. Use a washcloth. Pour water over the kitten's back. Keep water out of the kitten's face. Use shampoo. Rinse the kitten thoroughly. Keep it quick. Dry the kitten thoroughly.

After an argument, go into a private place. Continue with your daily life but just refrain from talking to your mother. Keep it up. Do not cave in or let her win. Let her come to you. She will. When she finally gives in, welcome her with open arms. She'll be happy you're interacting with her again, and peace will reign.

One-sentence summary -- Try the silent treatment.

Problem: Article: Both your puppy and your cat need a room in which they can adjust. You do not want to force a meeting right away. Give your pets separate care and attention for the first day or two.  You should usually confine the new pet initially, meaning you should keep your puppy in a separate room before letting her roam around the house. Make sure the room is stocked with adequate food, water, and toys. Make sure to spend plenty of time with your new puppy as she adjusts to your home. You should switch out which animal is confined. This will give them each a chance to explore the home. They can also get used to one another's smells, and become increasingly comfortable with the fact a new animal is present.  Rotate the animals every few hours. It's important the puppy has a chance to leave the room and explore a little, but you should not allow her free-range of the house yet, as this may interfere with potty training. Expand the area in which the puppy is confined to two or three rooms and watch her closely to watch for signs of toileting. When the animals are not confined, they may interact through the door. Your dog may, for example, sniff or paw at the door. For the most part, this is safe; however, if your puppy is excessively pawing at the door, correct the behavior. This can cause stress for your cat, leading to a messy introduction. It's very important the dog and the  cat get accustomed to one another's scent. You can swap small bits of bedding, like pillows or blankets. You can also exchange toys. Try rubbing a towel on one animal and putting the towel under the other animal's food dish. You should never leave your pets unsupervised before you've made many successful face-to-face introductions.   Make sure both the dog and cat are securely confined to separate areas when no one is home. You may wish tocrate train your puppy and keep her safely confined while you are out, allowing the cat free range (as he is presumably already comfortable in the house) If you secure the cat in a room while you're gone, make sure he has access to a litter box.
Summary:
Set up a space to confine your cat or dog. Alternate which animal is confined. Exchange scents. Keep the animals confined while no one is home.
