Problem: Article: This is a precautionary measure if you find signs of irritation on your cat's skin. You'll be less likely to pass germs into any open wounds. If you find ticks, you'll be able to remove them before they can do further harm to your cat. Make sure the fur is glossy and smooth. After your stroke it, it should spring back into place. Make sure the skin is soft and free of blemishes. Call your vet if you find dandruff, bumps, bald spots, or wounds. Although these symptoms might signal conditions that can be treated with simple lifestyle changes, they might signal something more serious like mange or a hormonal imbalance. Do this especially if you notice your cat scratching more than usual. Use a flea comb for this step. Look for flea droppings. They're small, dark objects that look like grains of sand. You should also look and feel for flea eggs. Because they're white, they can blend in with your cat's skin. Like flea dirt, they feel like grains of sand. Other symptoms include bald spots, skin irritation, and pale lips/gums. If you find one or more fleas, your cat probably has many more. Call your vet as soon as possible to work out a treatment plan. This usually isn't a problem for indoor cats, but it's a good idea to check no matter where your cat spends their time. Ticks are very small when they're not gorged with blood. They're brown with teardrop-shaped bodies. When they're full of blood, they look like large gray cysts hanging out of the animal's skin.  If you find a tick unattached to your cat's skin, grab it as quickly as possible with a pair of tweezers. Be careful not to pinch your cat's skin. Kill the tick by drowning it in a small container of rubbing alcohol. If the tick has its head in your cat's skin, smother the area with petroleum jelly first. This will cut off the tick's source of air and cause it to back its head out. When it does back out, grab it with the tweezers and drown it in the rubbing alcohol. Disinfect the area before proceeding with grooming. Look for any fecal matter that might have gotten matted in with your cat's hair. This is often a problem in older cats and cats with long hair. You should also check for small tan objects that look like grains of rice. This could indicate tapeworm, which requires immediate veterinary attention. If you do find fecal matter in your cat's fur, try removing it with a fine-toothed comb. If this doesn't work—and if your cat doesn't object to getting wet—rinse the area with warm water. If you can't remove the feces through these measures, contact your vet.
Summary: Wear sterilized rubber gloves. Recognize what healthy fur and skin look like. Search for signs of fleas. Look for ticks. Check under the tail.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your cake is stuck in the pan, slide a sharp knife between the pan and the edge of the cake all the way around. Use your hands to whack the sides and bottom of the pan a bit to help release the cake, then leave it to cool for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, try to turn out the cake again. If it still comes out a mess, see the suggestions above for turning it into trifle, cake balls, or another broken-cake recipe. with a sharp knife. Sometimes, your cake may rise unevenly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Within a week or so after planting, use clean shears to prune the vine back to one stem. Choose the healthiest, strongest stem for best results. You must also cut this stem back to two or three buds. As new growth begins to develop, determine which shoot is the most vigorous and remove the others. Use paper-covered wire ties or twine to loosely attach the growing vine to your training system.  Since the vine is still small, it may not be tall enough to reach the wire of your trellis system. For this reason, consider installing a bamboo training stake directly beside the plant. Tie the fresh vine onto this stake, then remove the stake once the vine is tall enough to reach the trellis wires. You may need to tie the vine on a weekly basis. Continue to remove any side shoots that develop during this time. Once the vine is tall enough to reach the wire of your trellis system, cut the growing tip back to the top bud.  Doing this forces lateral buds to form. Lateral buds will form cordons that need to be trained down along the wires of your trellis system. Tie them onto the wire loosely. After the cordons reach their full length, you can let side shoots develop. These side shoots will need to be cut back to two or three buds each dormant season, though. These buds will develop into shoots that produce both flowers and fruit.
Summary:
Prune to one stem after planting. Remove weak growth. Loosely tie the growing vine. Cut the growing tip once the vine is tall enough. Maintenance prune during the dormant season.
