Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check if your cat needs something. Do not punish a cat for meowing. Talk to a vet about sudden or excessive meowing. Accept certain cats simply meow more than others.

Answer: Meowing should never be entirely ignored. You do not want to encourage excessive meowing, but you should always check to make sure your cat does not need anything if you hear it meowing. A cat may, for example, be trapped in a room or be unable to reach its litter boxes. You should make sure your cat is not in need when you hear it meowing. Never scold, hit, or punish a cat in any way for meowing. If you want your cat to not meow for breakfast in the morning, ignore the behavior instead of punishing it. Cats do not respond well to punishment. A cat is unlikely to realize why it is being punished and will only become stressed. If you punish your cat for meowing, it can create a stressful environment that can lead to other behavioral problems. Your cat may start meowing excessively suddenly. In this case, take it to a vet immediately. Unexplained meowing can often be a sign your cat is injured or sick. You should never ignore unusual meowing in a cat that's normally quiet. If you're dealing with a new cat, you may be confused by excessive meowing. If the meowing does not sound distressed or frightened, it is probably okay. Certain cats are simply more vocal than others. Your new cat may simply feel the need to communicate through meowing more frequently.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Shovel and rake the soil to get it level. Spread sand over the leveled area. Lay a wooden beam across the sand. Place a level on top of the beam. Insert a metal rod through the beam’s center. Pull 1 end of the board toward you to rotate it. Compact the sand by spraying it with a hose. Tamp down the sand until it doesn’t leave footprints.

Answer: Place a level against the soil in several spots across the circle. Shovel or rake the soil if necessary to ensure each area has a difference of no more than 2 in (5.1 cm). Instead of using a level, you can use string. Place stakes around the area’s border and connect them with strings lowered onto the soil. The spots that don’t reach the string are lower than the ones that do. Start with 2 or 3 bags of sand and get more as needed. Concrete sand tends to hold up best, but yellow or white sand are also safe to use. Rake the sand to distribute it evenly. Shovel in more sand as needed to level the area. More sand is needed to to level out lower areas, so dump more of the sand there. Pick up a 2 in × 4 in (5.1 cm × 10.2 cm) piece of wood from the store. It needs to span all the way across the area you’re leveling. If 1 board is too short, get 2 or more boards and fasten them together using small brace pieces and deck screws. For instance, if your pool is 15 ft (4.6 m) wide, connect 2 8 ft (2.4 m) boards. Set the level on top of the board and fasten it in place with masking tape. This makes it easy to use as a guide while moving the beam. If the level and board appear even with the ground, you’ll know that the ground is flat enough for the pool. First, drill a 3⁄8 in (9.5 mm) hole all the way through the board. You can use a tape measure to find the center point. Insert a 3⁄8 in (0.95 cm) rod from the home improvement store into the hole, then hammer it into the ground. Step into the circle and rotate the board by pulling 1 end toward you as you walk backwards. It will spin in place because of the metal rod. Keep an eye on the level to note when the ground appears uneven, and use the board to even out the sand. Your shoes will leave divots in the sand. These will fill in as you rotate the board. When you’re done rotating it, step out of the circle and shovel sand into the remaining divots. Thoroughly wet the sand with water to compact and level it. The entire circle should be soaked so you can tamp the sand. If you'd like to rely on rain to compact the sand, wait until you've gotten about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) of rain, which should be enough to completely soak the sand. Get a tamper from the home improvement store or create one by weighing down a wood block with a heavy chain. Start on the outside edges of the circle and work inwards. Make sure you use the tamper tool everywhere to compact the sand. Walk on the sand to test it, and when you don’t leave footprints, this area is ready for construction. The sand may need to be soaked and tamped down multiple times to be completely hardened.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wear ghoulish face paint. Use props with your bat outfit. Add decorations to the bat wings.

Answer: If you don’t want to wear a mask, consider wearing face paint instead. First, cover your skin in a thin layer of white paint to make you look ghoulish. Next, paint grey circles around your eyes. Use some black paint to outline “fangs” on your lips. Finish the look by painting your lips black.  Wear plastic fangs instead of painting them on for an extra creepy effect. Add mascara and red lipstick to become a cute or sexy bat. Visit your local Halloween supply store or costume shop and buy some interesting bat props. For example, if you’re planning on wearing a dress with your costume, buy some spider webbed black tights. If you don’t want to make a mask but you still want to wear one, buy a scary bat mask. Many Halloween supply stores are seasonal, opening in August and closing after Halloween. If you’re making the costume for a child, add sparkles to the edge of the bat wings with craft glue. If you want to add bold colorful designs to the bat wings, paint the fabric with colorful fabric paint. If you like to sew, consider sewing black fur to the top of the bat wings for a realistic touch.
