In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pain is the first indication that something is wrong with your cat. Cats will try to hide their pain, but you can tell your cat is hurting if you know what to look for:  Crying, howling, moaning or growling, particularly when touched Failure to eat Failure to groom Pale gums or rapid breathing (may indicate you cat is in shock) When your cat sits, stands, or walks, she transfers her weight from the forelimb up through the shoulder. A cat with a broken shoulder is going to be very lame because her weight pushes up through the fracture site as she walks. Look for:  Limping Holding up the affected limb Abnormal movement If you see bone sticking through the skin, your cat has suffered a compound fracture and should be taken to the vet immediately to prevent infection of the bone. Other signs of injury to look for are:  Bruises or abrasions around the injured shoulder (especially common after a car collision) Scuffed nails (suggests trauma may have occurred) Swelling of the shoulder and leg Your cat holding her leg at a strange angle (may indicate a leg or shoulder injury) A bite to part of your cat’s leg can cause lameness and tissue swelling — similar symptoms to those that occur with a broken shoulder. Always check your cat for bite marks before determining that the shoulder is broken. If you find a bite wound, wash it with saline water and disinfect it before putting a bandage over it. Take your cat to the vet after you have found the bite mark.
Summary: Watch for signs that your cat is in pain. Look for signs of lameness. Examine the injured shoulder and limb. Check to be sure your cat has not been bitten.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's important to warm up your voice before you begin singing. Practice lip trills, hum, and sing scales and arpeggios to get your voice ready for a performance or practice session. These exercises also encourage air flow, which can prevent you from having a nasally tone. ” This vocal exercise can help get rid of nasal singing. The sound “g” will naturally move your voice further down, adding richness to your tone and bringing it away from the nose. The “ah” makes you drop your jaw and your tongue, which will also add depth to your tone. Try singing your song, but replacing the words with "gah." Simply keep making the noise "gah" while following the tune of a song.  Keep your jaw relaxed as you do this to prevent strain.  Once you’ve practiced your song with “gah” sound, try to incorporate the lyrics back in. You may notice you sound less nasally. If you struggle with sounding nasal at particular places in the song, you can always begin your practice by singing “gah” on those parts of the song before adding the lyrics back in. If you are singing through your nose, this will exacerbate the nasal quality. You may sound more nasally when singing through your nose. However, this method  will block the nasal passage so you will have to figure out how to sing through your mouth, rather than your nose. This can help your singing down the road. You may sound less nasally once you have experience singing without being able to channel air through your nose. You should strive to sing with your throat open, as this raises your soft palate and can therefore prevent nasally singing. One way to achieve an open throat is to sing with a pleasant expression as this will naturally lift up your throat.  Do not attempt to smile, as this can look unnatural. Instead, gently lift up your cheeks. You can do so by slightly lifting the zygomatic muscles. These are the muscles on the side of the mouth you would lift when smiling. During speech and singing, many people have a tendency to pull their facial muscles down slightly. By adopting a pleasant expression when singing, you can combat this tendency. This can create an open throat, making nasally singing less likely.
Summary: Do lip trills to warm up. Replace the lyrics of your song with “gah. Plug your nose while you sing. Adopt a pleasant expression when you sing.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don't keep kissing them for more than a few seconds. Stop and put a little space between the two of you. Take a moment to breathe and think about what happened. It's okay to go back in for another kiss, but it's best to take a little break first. Remember, the other person is likely just as nervous about kissing as you are. Show them you liked it by looking at them and smiling. You might also hold their hand or put your arm around them. Make eye contact, then lean in close again. Watch to see if they're leaning in, too. If you're in doubt, ask them if they want another kiss.  Say, “Are you ready for another kiss?” or “Can we do that again?” Only go in for another kiss if you want one. Don't feel pressured to kiss if you don't feel like it. After the kiss, spend some time being intimate without kissing. Hold them in your arms, snuggle up next to them, or hold hands. Do what feels comfortable for both you and your kissing partner. Relax and enjoy this time together. You might watch a movie, talk, or go for a walk. You might feel overwhelmed or nervous right after your kiss, and that's okay. On the other hand, you might feel really excited and chatty. Either way, talk to your kissing partner about what happened when you feel ready, whether it's right after the kiss or later in the day or night.  For instance, say something like, “I've been wanting to do that for a really long time,” “That was nice,” or “You're a good kisser.” Don't feel like you have to say something right away. It's okay to wait. Text, call, or talk to the person you kissed to check on how they're doing. Let them know if you're interested in going on another date or hanging out with them again. Additionally, tell them if you enjoyed the kiss.  Keep in mind that having a first kiss doesn't mean you always have to kiss. It's okay to decide you want to wait awhile to do it again. On the other hand, it's perfectly normal to be excited about the chance to get another kiss. Say something like, "I had fun last night. The kiss was nice. Do you want to walk me home from school tomorrow?"
Summary:
Pull away to give you both a chance to take a breath. Smile at them to show them you liked it. Go in for a second kiss only if they seem ready for it. Cuddle or hold hands for several minutes afterwards. Say something about the kiss when you're ready. Follow up with your kissing partner the day after your kiss.
