Simple Way To Housetraining And Grooming Your Cat.

■ Put a layer of litter in a tray, or use sand if your cat will eventually use outdoor facilities. For two cats, provide at least two trays.

■ Place the tray in a quiet corner, away from food and water bowls.

■ If the kitten messes on the floor, transfer the puddle or solid matter to the tray. Don’t be cross, but do it with a firm “This is where you do it.”

■ Clean the tray twice a day, using only hot water and detergent.

■ If your cat has an accident, wash the area with a 10 per cent solution of biological washing powder, spray with vinegar and scrub again.

Long-haired cats must be brushed and combed every day, to avoid matted, tangled fur and the skin problems that can result from a neglected coat. Start grooming a little and often from a young age. In all cats, fur balls can build up in the stomach, so even a short-haired cat will benefit from grooming.  

■ Set aside a grooming area, with hygiene in mind – not the kitchen bench – and lay down a towel.

■ Talking gently all the time, fluff the cat’s coat with your hand then lightly brush from roots to tip in the direction of growth. Work in sections to get rid of mats or tangles, before moving on to a widetooth comb, then a fine-tooth comb.

■ If the teeth of a comb snag in the fur, go back to the previous tool.

TEA FOR BEAUTY

Recently I've read an article about the uses of tea for beauty, its really attract me. At that time I think i should share it with you guys, its really useful and easy to do. Check it out~

Cool sunburned skin

What can you do when you forget to use sunscreen and have to pay the price with a painful burn? A few wet tea bags applied to the affected skin will take out the sting. This works well for other types of minor burns (i.e., from a teapot or steam iron) too. If the sunburn is too widespread to treat this way, put some tea bags in your bathwater and soak your whole body in the tub.

Relieve your tired eyes

Revitalize tired, achy, or puffy eyes. Soak two tea bags in warm water and place them over your closed eyes for 20 minutes. The tannins in the tea act to reduce puffiness and soothe tired eyes.

Reduce razor burn

Ouch! Why didn’t you remember to replace that razor blade before you started to shave? To soothe razor burn and relieve painful nicks and cuts, apply a wet tea bag to the affected area. And don’t forget to replace the blade before your next shave.

Get the gray out

Turn gray hair dark again without an expensive trip to the salon or the use of chemical hair dyes. Make your own natural dye using brewed tea and herbs: Steep 3 tea bags in 1 cup boiling water. Add 1 tablespoon each of rosemary and sage (either fresh or dried) and let it stand overnight before straining. To use, shampoo as usual, and then pour or spray the mixture on your hair, making sure to saturate it thoroughly. Take care not to stain clothes. Blot with a towel and do not rinse. It may take several treatments to achieve desired results.

Condition dry hair

To give a natural shine to dry hair, use a quart (liter) of warm, unsweetened tea (freshly brewed or instant) as a final rinse after your regular shampoo.

Drain a boil

Drain a boil with a boiled tea bag! Cover a boil with a wet tea bag overnight and the boil should drain without pain by the time you wake up next morning.

Soothe those bleeding gums

The child may be all smiles later when the tooth fairy arrives, but right now those bleeding gums are no fun whatsoever. To stop the bleeding and soothe the pain from a lost or recently pulled tooth, wet a tea bag with cool water and press it directly onto the site.

Relieve baby’s pain from injection

Is the baby still crying from that recent inoculation shot? Try wetting a tea bag and placing it over the site of the injection. Hold it gently in place until the crying stops. The tannic acid in the tea will soothe the soreness. You might try it on yourself the next time an injection leaves your arm sore.

Dry poison ivy rash

Dry a weepy poison ivy rash with strongly brewed tea. Simply dip a cotton ball into the tea, dab it on the affected area, and let it air-dry. Repeat as needed.

Stop foot odor

Put an end to smelly feet by giving them a daily tea bath. Just soak your tootsies in strongly brewed tea for 20 minutes a day and say good-bye to offensive odors.

Make soothing mouthwash

To ease toothache or other mouth pain, rinse your mouth with a cup of hot peppermint tea mixed with a pinch or two of salt. Peppermint is an antiseptic and contains menthol, which alleviates pain on contact with skin surfaces. To make peppermint tea, boil 1 TBSP fresh peppermint leaves in 1 cup water and steep for several minutes.

Clean wood furniture and floors

Freshly brewed tea is great for cleaning wood furniture and floors. Just boil a couple of tea bags in a quart (liter) of water and let it cool. Dip a soft cloth in the tea, wring out the excess, and use it to wipe away dirt and grime. Buff dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Create “antique” fashions

Soak white lace or garments in a tea bath to create an antique beige, ecru, or ivory look. Use 3 tea bags for every 2 cups of boiling water and steep for 20 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before soaking the material for 10 minutes or more. The longer you let it soak, the darker the shade you will get.

Shine your mirrors

To make mirrors sparkle and shine, brew a pot of strong tea, let it cool, and then use it to clean the mirrors. Dampen a soft cloth in the tea and wipe it all over the surface of the mirrors. Then buff with a soft, dry cloth for a sparkly, streak-free shine.

8 YEARS OLD GIRL

Today I wanna share a story about my clever, matured and cute 8 years old little sister. Iman Najwa. We only have 4 siblings, my sister already worked and not staying with us anymore and me still studying and rarely returned home. My 17 years old brother is in his own world and finally lil Iman left in her own. I think because of that she tend to be very close with my Mama and Papa and more older people. In addition, our neighborhood also didn't have any same age kids as her..

Early on this year, I’m having a phone conversation with my Mama and she told me a funny yet shocking story about lil Iman. It was a week before the end of holidays and school will open soon. My Mama bring Iman to buy her new school uniform, she had to make last minute shopping because she was too busy. Unfortunately due to last minute preparation she can’t find the uniforms in her size anymore. My Mama has to go to all stores and still not found it. Maybe Iman can see her tiredness so Iman said something that make me laugh so hard..

Here’s the conversation:

Mama: Iman, Mama tak jumpa la baju Iman. Takde saiz dah.

Iman: Mama, Iman redho. Takpe pakai je baju yang tahun lepas punya, elok lagi kan…

Mama: …..

Iman: Betul, Iman tak kisah. (poker face)

Seriously I’m laughing so hard when I heard this but at the same time I’m so proud with my lil sister because at her age how can she be so mature and have adult thinking, she even can said that to my Mama. Good job Iman (thumbs up).

P/s- Dahi luka jatuh dalam longkang kat sekolah. Main tah pape. Hahahah.

Ok that's all kot, anneyonghi-gyeseyo~<3^^
