Q: While it may be true that many cats enjoy time outside, it may not always be possible to train them how to stay safe while outside. If you have a cat that is very skittish, and doesn’t enjoy being touched, you may not be able to train him outside safely. If you really wish to train a cat such as this to be outdoors, you will first need to spend significant time indoors with him in order to gain his trust. In the event that something goes awry outside, you will need your cat to trust completely that you will keep him safe. Otherwise, he will most likely run in whatever direction gets him away from whatever is frightening. If you live in an areas where wild animals also roam around, your cat will be in great danger. If this is the case where you live, it is probably best to keep your cat indoors, unless you are able to take him out for walks on a leash. Several wild animals can pose a big threat for cats that are outdoors. For example, coyotes, foxes, hawks, and snakes can easily kill your cat if they catch him. Other animals, such as raccoons and skunks pose a threat, particularly if they have been infected with rabies. You should not take your cat out at certain times of the day, for example, when wild animals are likely to be most active, when there are likely to be many cars on the street, or when you have recently applied pesticides or chemicals to the area outside your house.  You should also not let your cat outdoors when he has been misbehaving. The outdoors should be seen as a reward for good behavior. If your cat has not been so good, then don’t reward him by taking him outside. You should not take your cat out at twilight, or after dark, especially if you live in an area where there are wild animals. This time of the evening is when these animals tend to be most active, not to mention that it will be difficult for you to see your cat. You should also avoid letting your cat out on holidays where fireworks are used to celebrate. For example, the Fourth of July, New Year’s Eve, and Cinco de Mayo. The fireworks may frighten, or even injure your cat. It is important that, before taking your cat outdoors, you give him adequate time to trust you. Cats are not particularly trusting animals, particularly if they have been abused by humans in the past. If you have recently adopted your cat from a shelter, he may be very timid.  Remember though, that having a cat who trusts you can be very rewarding. It may not be as easy to gain his trust as you hoped, but if you treat him with kindness and patience, he will come to trust you, little by little. If your cat is very shy, you should keep him indoors for at least a few months, even up to a year. This will give him time to learn that this is his home, and that you are the one who keeps him safe. Never, ever strike your cat. Hitting your cat will teach him that you won’t necessarily always be a safe place to go. It is very stressful for your cat to be physically punished, and can damage your relationship permanently.
A: Understand that not all cats are good candidates for outdoor training. Be aware of predatory animals. Find the optimal time to take your cat outdoors. Be patient.

Article: Rinse the zucchini under cool water, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Line the mixing bowl with a thin hand towel or cheesecloth. Use a medium or fine grater to reduce the zucchini to small shreds, allowing it to collect on top of the towel.  There are lots of beneficial nutrients in the zucchini peels, so leave them on. 3 medium-sized zucchini should be enough to make a little over a dozen meatballs. Gather the corners of the towel and lift the zucchini out of the bowl. Hold the towel-wrapped zucchini over the sink and give it a squeeze. This will help extract any remaining water.  You can also heat the zucchini in a pan for a few minutes to evaporate the extra liquid.  Zucchini naturally has a high water content, which can ruin the flavor and texture of the finished meatballs. Return the grated zucchini to the mixing bowl. Add one egg, two cloves crushed garlic, one cup seasoned bread crumbs, one half cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, three tablespoons chopped basil and a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Blend the ingredients until they’re distributed throughout the mixture.  Together, the egg, breadcrumbs and cheese will serve as a binding agent to help the meatballs retain their shape. Crush the garlic cloves using a manual press, or pulse it in the food processor along with the basil to save time. Grab a small handful of the zucchini mixture and use the palms of both hands to roll them. Try to use roughly one ounce of zucchini per meatball. Make sure each meatball has been pressed firmly to ensure that they’ll hold together while cooking.  The meatballs will shrink somewhat as they cook. If you find that your meatballs are falling apart, add a small amount of flour to the mixture and try again. The flour will soak up moisture and become slightly sticky.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Grate fresh zucchini into a large mixing bowl. Squeeze the excess moisture out of the zucchini. Combine the zucchini with the egg, breadcrumbs and herbs. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls.

Q: This is an easy way to shape your identity without legally changing your name. Whether you identify as Alexander or Alexandra, you can call yourself Alex. Samuel and Samantha can be called Sam. Jordan can easily become Jordy or Jordi. If nothing else, this can be a solid interim step while you think about a more permanent name change. You could ask them what they would have named you if you were assigned your correct gender at birth. Or you could ask them what they would name you taking your personality and gender identity into account. You could run names you've been thinking of past your parents, they've known you the longest and will know if they fit you best. Don't feel the need to cater to any rules or norms, and remember that you don't need to keep things close to what they've been. If there is a name to which you have always been particularly drawn, choose that name. You don't have to choose a name that is similar to your birth name. If your birth name is "Martin" and you are transitioning to female, you do not have to choose "Martha" when you have always loved the name "Laura". If your birth name is "Cecilia", you do not have to choose "Cecil" if you've always liked the name "Ashton". If you are going through a sex change, you may feel empowered to explore parts of your personality that you were afraid to embrace before. Think about the identity that you intend to cultivate, and choose a name that fits with your vision for the new you. You may have connotations about certain names: tough, sweet, adventurous, etc. Pick a name that helps you become who you want to become. Name yourself after someone inspiring. If you grew up idolizing Marilyn Monroe, don't be afraid to change your name to Marilyn.
A:
Try out a gender-neutral nickname. Ask your parents. Choose a name that you love. Pick a name that suits your new identity.
