Problem: Article: Smuggling Kitty into work won't be a good idea if your cat is a proud and independent roamer who has activities you don't even have a clue about for most of the day and/or night. If he is the type to hop in and out of the cat door regularly, he is going to find being confined in a small bag a day of nightmares and the yowling will definitely let the cat out of the bag even if the clawing doesn't. Alternatively, if your cat is quiet and often comfortable sitting near you for long periods of time, he may the an ideal stealth cat for the office. Is your cat a seasoned traveler? Does he mind car or public transportation travel? Is he even allowed on public transportation? Are you strong enough to carry him on your bike or by foot? These are all very valid considerations. If the last experience your cat had of going in a cat carrier involved going to the vet, seeing rabid, dribbling dogs nosing him and he urinated all over himself, then perhaps give this whole idea a miss. On the other hand, if he's the model of good behavior and loves travelling, you're on your way! Is it too hot, too cold, too wet or too windy to be carrying your cat around? Use your own good sense of judgement as to whether the weather is an issue for carting around your feline pal, especially if you're subjecting him to non-car travel. In particular, remember that cats are prone to heatstroke, so don't place him in any situation where this could be a problem. Preferably, choose a day when you can get away earlier than usual, so that your feline pal is only there a few hours.
Summary: Assess your cat's personality to decide if he is the sort of cat that could be happy and quiet at work. Consider the way you get to work. Check the weather. Choose a day that isn't heavily mired in away-from-desk obligations.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Crabs must molt their skin to grow and this process can take weeks or months. If you realize your hermit crab is molting, leave it alone because she may be very fragile and any type of contact can cause her undue stress.  Be aware that healthy crabs will molt “in private” by burrowing or hiding in a dark spot of the tank. The crab may not eat during molting, either. Leave the molting or molted skin on the crab. She will eat the skin for calcium once she’s done molting. In most cases, you should avoid touching your hermit crab in any way. This can cause them undue stress and may kill it, especially if the crab is molting.  Stay away from blowing on or poking your crab, which can also stress your pet.  Be aware that there is varying information on touching crabs, but that not handling them with care can result in bites. If you suspect one of your crabs is sick, especially with mites, you’ll need to separate it from its crab friends. Prepare a large bucket or other container in which to isolate and treat your hermit crab.  Make sure that the isolation tank is similar to your crab’s normal habitat. Add some dechlorinated water, sand or coconut fiber, toys, and food in the crabitat. Observe your sick crab to make sure it is healing. Once it appears healthy again, move it back to the regular tank. Avoid isolating molting crabs as this can kill them. Remember to leave them alone in their usual habitat.  Move a crab that is hanging out of its shell limply to an isolation tank. This is a sign that the crab may be dying. .

Add new water to the tank as you see it evaporating. Change the water if you notice an ammonia smell or murky water. Remember to use dechlorinated and brackish water. Never use table salt to make brackish water. Place new sand and toys in the habitat. You can also clean toys with a mild soap and water and rinse it thoroughly. Although there are differing viewpoints on the treatment of bad mites on your hermit crab, there are a couple of different ways to kill them. You can either bathe your hermit crab or introduce a mite species that will eat the bad mites from your pet.   bath with care if you choose to use this method. Use dechlorinated, tepid water and lower him into a container you’re using as a bath. Your crab may go into the water alone, too. Don’t leave your crab unattended and remove it from the water after about a minute. Drain any excess water from the shell and allow your crab to dry out in a box or on a paper towel. Put the crab back in its usual habitat once it is dry.  Introduce the predatory mite Hypoaspis miles into a habitat infested with bad mites. The Hypoaspis miles will eat all of the other mites, larvae, and eggs without bothering your crabs. As the number of bad mites disappears, so will the number of Hypoaspis miles. Consider taking your hermit crab to the vet if no other treatments are working or you don’t feel comfortable. However, you should be aware that there is little a vet can do for a very sick or dying hermit crab and nature may need to simply take its course.  Call your vet’s office to make sure they will see hermit crabs. Consider your crab’s health. If it really is dying, moving it to go to the vet can cause it unnecessary stress.

Who wants to sleep on a dirty pillow case? Washing your pillowcases every week is a good idea. Some pillows cannot be fully restored and should be replaced.  Experts suggest replacing pillows every 4-6 years, primarily for removal of dust mites. Place your pillow on a flat surface. If it has lumps, bumps or dents, it’s probably time to replace it. If you wake up with a sore neck, it’s probably not providing you with enough support.
