To compensate for the lack of outdoor exploration and adventure, indoor cats will need toys to divert their attention and provide them with exercise and stimulation.  Small, inexpensive toys like stuffed mice and plastic balls are often the most entertaining for cats, and can be played with even while you are away.  Other toys – such as fishing-pole style toys that let you dangle a feather or piece of fabric in front of your cat – will require interaction with you.  Using toys that require you to interact with the cat will help you to bond and create a better relationship with your pet. Battery-powered cat toys can be useful supplements for human interaction. If your cat wants longer or more intense play sessions than you can provide, battery-powered toys can help divert your cat's attention. Buying or making foraging toys will give your cat a similar experience to hunting and foraging outdoors. These toys are containers with many holes or divots that your cat has to manipulate in order to get their food. This gives your cat an opportunity to use their brain and interact with their surrounding in a more rewarding way. If you have a window with a relatively deep sill, buy a padded perch and place it in front of the window.  Alternately, invest in a window frame – a sort of clear, boxy unit similar to a windowsill air conditioner in which your cat can sit, hang out, and watch the world go by.  Other cats might feel safest in their crates, so leave your cat’s crate or cage open at all times. If your cat can get some fresh air and survey its domain from an enclosed location, it’s a win-win for both you and the cat.  If you don’t have a screened porch, consider building a “catio” – a large cage-like structure with many climbable surfaces.  Your catio could be accessible directly from your home (via a side or rear door), or you could place it in your back yard.  You can obtain catio building kits from most pet stores. A cat tree (sometimes called a “kitty condo”) is a vertical structure that provides your cat with opportunities for climbing, hiding, and jumping.  Your cat will love navigating the cat tree.  Set it up in an open space where your cat can freely move through and around it.  You can easily obtain a cat tree at your local pet store. If your cat feels uncomfortable for any reason using its litter box, it may attempt to escape outside to relieve itself.  Make sure that wherever you place the litter box, your cat will have an unobstructed view of the whole room.  In your home, the living room, bedroom, kitchen, or family room might qualify as a good location. Do not, for instance, place the litter box next to a noisy furnace or washing machine.    Placing it in the corner of a room, likewise, will not make your cat want to use it. If your cat’s litter box is dirty and/or stinky, it might want to do its business outside.  To prevent this, scoop feces from the litter box daily.  Any time you observe clumping or wet litter, empty the litter and replace it.  Generally, you’ll need to do this about twice each week.  Don’t place the litter box in a closet or in the corner of a room, either, since your cat will feel trapped when using it. Additionally, do not place your cat’s litter box near its food dish.  After all, just imagine how you’d feel dining right next to the place you go to the bathroom.

Once you’ve ensured the fritters are done, immediately take them out of the skillet with the serving spoon or spatula and drop them onto a layer of paper towel. The paper towel will absorb the excess oil from the fritters. If you want to give your banana fritters a little extra sweetness on top, sprinkle them with confectionary sugar or plain white sugar. You can also leave them as is if you prefer. Banana fritters are meant to be eaten hot while the outside is still crispy. Because the texture is much different when they have cooled, serve them immediately. Vanilla ice cream is a classic accompaniment to banana fritters. Because it is cool, creamy and soft, ice cream perfectly offsets the hot and crispy banana fritter. Other great topping for banana fritters are yogurt and whip cream. You can even top the fritters with berries or drizzle them with hot fudge or maple syrup! Don't be afraid to experiment with your toppings!

Dressing yourself in the morning is often a hasty part of everyone’s daily routine—however, minor alterations to the way you dress yourself can have a significant effect on how old you look. Try wearing outfits with a slimmer, more fitted look.  Avoid clothing that looks too baggy or neutral—try wearing clothes with more color, especially a color that highlights your flatters your complexion or matches your eyes. When changing your outfit, try different things. See which clothes make you feel best; you’ll feel better and look more confident if you dress in a way that feels natural to you. When someone stands with a slumped posture or keeps their eyes downcast, they often appear older than they are. A confident, erect posture will help you look and feel younger. Better posture will also have a long-term benefit: standing up straight and not slumping in your shoulders and pelvis will keep your joints strong and help prevent arthritis. Practice good posture:  stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, inclined your weight backwards (towards your heels), square your shoulders to keep your chest open; avoid hunching forward. If you don’t already wear a cologne or perfume, it can be a great way to draw positive attention to yourself and be perceived as more attractive and youthful. Experiment with a variety of scents—in general, floral or rose-scented perfumes and colognes are reminiscent of old age. Avoid these, and instead try a more fruity (or earth-toned), vibrant scent. Confidence connotes vitality and other youthful characteristics—try to act confidently and move with assertion. In addition to making your body appear younger through better posture and quicker movements, smiling more will help you look more appealing, engaging, and younger.
