Q: For the first week, you should keep your new cat in her safe room and keep your other cat or cats in the rest of the house. Make sure the safe room isn't a favorite room of your other cat, or he will try to go in the room and feel anxious when not allowed inside. Let the cats stay in their separate environments. They will slowly become accustomed to one another's sounds and presences. Let the cats get accustomed to each other's smells before they officially meet. Start brushing them with the same brush, petting one cat and then petting another, or introducing one cat to the other cat's favorite blanket or toy.  At first, the cats may feel threatened by the new smell, but they should get used to it. Start leaving the door to the safe room open a crack, so the cats can start smelling each other. Rub a towel against the new cat's scent glands on the cheek and give it to the old cats to investigate. Do the opposite thing with the old cat's scent glands as well. This will help your cats learn each other's scent in concentrated form. Put the new cat in her carrier and take her to another room in the house. She will still need her room, so keep it as her territory for the time being. Place the carrier containing the new cat on a safe chair so the cats can sniff and explore the each other without them chasing each other or fighting. Raise the cat carrier off the floor to elevate the new cat and helps her to feel less vulnerable.  The old cats will approach your new cat with curiosity, to smell and get to know each other. If the new cat or old cats are acting very aggressively, end the meeting. Don't rush this process. Just separate the cats and try again the next day. If things didn't go well, make sure to play with each cat separately prior to each meeting so that they are physically tired and less likely to look for a fight. Consider feeding your cats on either side of a barrier where they can see but not reach each other. A mesh child gate is a good option. You want to engineer meetings without tension so they accept each other's company without stress.  You should always be around for their interactions, because things could get violent or aggressive.  If the behavior remains violent, feed them in opposite parts of the house. Then, slowly bring their food closer together, until they get used to eating side by side. Start giving the cats more time to be together each day as your new cat gets used to the rest of the house. Each day, make sure that the cats like each other more and spend more time together. If things seem to be getting worse, bring your new cat back to the safe room.  At first, maintain separate litter boxes for each cat. They need their own resources, which includes litter trays, feeding and water bowls, and beds. To force a cat to share instantly creates friction between the cats. Make sure that the cats' time together is happy and calm. When the cats are together, you should feed them, give them treats, play with them, and give them lots of love and attention. They should associate their time together with happiness and fun. If you have other pets, introduce the new cat to each of the cats first. Take it one pet at a time, and have the new cat adjust to your cats before you bring in the dog. The cat will hear the dog and will know that there's another pet in the house, but if you introduce the dog first, the cat will be confused and overwhelmed. If you have multiple cats, introduce the cat to the alpha cat first. If you've tried these techniques for over a month and your cats are not getting along, it's time to find a new home for your new cat. If the cats are constantly fighting, hissing, and growling, and they can't be alone together, they never will. Though this will be very disappointing, remember it's better than living in a home with warring pets, or leaving two cats in a violent environment. You want your new cat to be safe and happy, whether it's in your home or not.
A: Separate the cats. Introduce the cats to each other's smells. Let the cats meet. Feed your cats near each other. Let the cats spend more time together. Take it one pet at a time. Know when it's not working.

Q: Grab a notebook and a pen that you will carry with you for a few days. Write down any activities you engage in, including work, errands, taking care of yourself, and having fun. Include how often you usually do these actions (daily, weekly, monthly).  This may include things like:  Commuting. Working. Sleeping. Cleaning your house. Grooming. Shopping for groceries. If there are other things that you’d like to do, but never seem to get around to, include these on your list. As you organize your day, you will figure out how to include these new activities into your routine. These might be things like:  Working out. Prepping healthy meals. Playing guitar. Hanging out with friends. Once you have a list of your activities (including aspirational ones), and how often you complete each task, you must reflect on how long each activity takes. Try your best to be realistic.  Include the time it takes to get to where you need to be. Include the time it takes for you to get ready for each activity. Include the time it takes for you to wrap up. If you’ll be working out, for instance, you may need to shower and change when you’re done. There is only so much time in every day. This means you must pick and choose which activities are most useful to you. This life change is two-fold: it will involve breaking some time-wasting habits, and learning to say "no."  Common time-wasting habits include social media, checking email too often, watching television, and gossiping. When you engage in these types of activities, consider setting a timer for yourself. When the time is up, you must get back to work. If your boss, friends, spouse, and family are all asking things of you, it can be hard to keep up! Whenever you are asked to complete a project or do a favor, stop to consider whether or not you truly have the time to do the task well. Sometimes, you will need to say, "I just don't have time for that today."
A: Write down what you do. Include any aspirations. Determine how long each activity takes. Cut unnecessary activities.

Q: Bleaching your hair can really damage it, but a hair mask can help restore some of the moisture. You can purchase hair masks from most beauty supply stores, or you can use warmed up olive oil and massage it into your scalp and hair roots. Shampoo strips your hair of its natural moisture and oils, so avoid using it too often after you’ve bleached your hair. Shampoo every 2 to 3 days. If you really, really can’t wait to shampoo your hair, consider a spray-in dry shampoo to absorb some of your hair’s oils. Many hair care companies offer a range of products for color-treated hair, including shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments. Swap out  your regular hair care products for these types of products after you've bleached your hair. It will protect your hair and maintain your color. Some companies even offer products for bleached hair – if you can find an afford those types of products, they're best. Bleaching your hair will dry it out, so applying even more heat can do a lot of damage. Try not to use straighteners, blow dryers, or curling irons on bleached hair. If you absolutely have to, use a heat protectant spray first. Try out some no-heat styles, like braids and buns, or create curls with rollers. Depending on the shade of blonde you want to maintain, you’ll need to re-tone your hair every 2 to 8 weeks. This will prevent your hair from reverting to a brassy blonde. When you hair starts to look brassy or yellow, it’s time to re-tone! Bleached hair can easily begin to turn green when exposed to chlorine. If you can, avoid chlorinated water like pools. If you can't avoid chlorinated water, use a protectant spray designed to prevent blonde hair from turning green. Or, coat your tresses with a leave-in conditioner before swimming so your hair doesn’t absorb the chlorine. You can find those products in most beauty supply stores. Alternatively, you could wear a swim cap to protect your hair.
A:
Apply a hair mask every few weeks. Don’t shampoo too frequently. Use products specifically designed for color-treated hair. Avoid using heat tools. Re-tone every 2 to 8 weeks. Avoid chlorinated water.
