How to keep my cat from getting fat and lazy?
I have a male tabby cat (neutered) who's about 3 years old. he's a big cat anyway (as in tall) especially compared to his sister who lives with my grandma. Last time at the vet she said hes the right weight but hes got a little bit of a pound which you can see because it hangs down. My mum constantly gives him his treats and she gives him WAY too much, like 2 hand fulls where as I only give him a pinch, hes obsessed with them and will always eat them but sometimes won't eat all the ones my mum gives him which shows she's giving him excessive amounts. I keep telling her she's giving him too much but she doesn't listen she doesnt believe me when I say she gives him too much and her excuse is well he's not fat, and im like well not yet but hes getting there. Ive given up telling my mum to stop giving him treats because she doesnt listen so I need to know of other ways to stop him getting fat.
He does go outside as he has a cat flap but it's never for very long and then he'll just go sit on the sofa or bed or he just looks out the window. He has loads of toys, even ones where he can play by himself with this ball thing that he pushes round is a tube but he never plays with it, sometimes he plays with my phone charger and try to catch it when I dangle it (and yes I do unplug it first) but that's only when he wants to and my mum would never play with him because she can't be bothered. I'm just worried that as he gets older he'll just become fat and lazy and go out less and less
1 AnswerCats5 years agoWhat's the safest way to get a tan with the sun?
I live in England and we literally get about 4 weeks of sun per year and even then it's often not enough to tan my skin or doesn't last very long. I really dislike my skin when it's not tanned because I have loads of red splotches and quit a few spots and generally don't like the look of pale skin. What's the safest way to get a nice glowing tan but also without it looking orange, brown or really fake and so I can still where makeup over the top. For example I don't really like fake tans because I feel they look fake and wash off easily but if you could suggest some ones I could use at home that are good quality. And I'm not too sure about sun beds, I have only ever used them once before and that was a 4 sessions over 2 weeks before I went on holiday and k lik e the results I got but I'm really conscious and worried about how harmful they are, like I now they can cause skin cancer and ruine the pigment in skin so I'm not sure. Any help and advice please for a nice sun tan all year round that's the healthiest option but stil doesn't look fake or too high maintenance
3 AnswersOther - Skin & Body5 years agoHow to dye over ombré?
At the moment my hair is ombré from a dark browny red (which is very close to my natural hair colour only the dye is a bit more red) and it goes into a sort of light brownish gingery colour. However I want to make the bottom of my hair more blonde and still keep about 2-3 inches of the gingery colour between the blonde and top browny red colour of my hair. I don't want to go to the hairdressers because I can't afford it. How would I do it at home, would I just use blonde hair dye and comb it in to make it blend?
1 AnswerHair5 years agoHow much do nurses who do part time work abroad make?
I am 17 nearly 18 at the moment and I am applying for nursing at university for next year, my top two options allow me to get a degree in children's and adults nursing, my other two are just children's. I applied for courses where I can do adult and childrens because I believe it gives me more opportunities to do my dream which is to work in crisis zones such as providing aid after an earthquake or working in outbreak camps such as ebola. however I don't want to do this full time, I would still like to work primarily in the UK but work in crisis zones after something such as an earthquake where to happen for a few weeks - a few months at a time and then come back and work in the UK until I am needed to work abroad again with a humanitarian and aid relief group.
As far as I know; which I have just guested really because I can't find much online, that working abroad is mainly volunteer work and I won't get much pay for this.
Could someone please tell me about working in the UK (preferably in a children's ward at hospital in the NHS) and having the opportunity to work abroad a few times a year so that I can have the opportunity to provide care to people who need it most. Also how much pay I would get for this and any advice on suggestions on how I would do this, like which company's or programmes I could work for etc.
Thank you in advance for all answers and advice, I am really grateful
2 AnswersStudying Abroad5 years agoShould you write a will at 18?
I'm 18 soon and live with my mother so therefore if I die would that mean that anything I own would go to her. Because although I don't have much I do have some expensive things, I don't really care about my phone or laptop but some things are sentimental, like jewellery and I wouldn't want it to go to her. I have 2 charm bracelets which I wear all the time and my dad and step mum bought me my first bracelet when I was 12 since then they have been buying me charms which all have a meaning, each represents a different milestone and achievement in my life. And there not cheap either, the first bracelet is full and it's worth about £2000 for some that may not seem like a lot but it's the most expensive thing I own besides my laptop. Would it be worth making a will just in case something did happen to me, I know it seems a bit far fetched because I'm only 17 and going to Uni next year. But is it still worth it? It's mainly just for sentimental things like some of my jewellery which I know my mother would just sell, as well as my sketch book which is worth nothing so she would just throw it but there are over 200 drawings in there and it's something I'm passionate about.
Also what if I lived by myself, for example when I go to uni I will be living in student accommodation because non of my choices ar near where I live so will only be living with other students, is it worth making a will then for the few things I do own so my mum can't get them?

1 AnswerGoogle6 years agoGood cat names?
I am getting 2 Persian kittens in a couple of weeks. They will be a boy and girl and from the same litter.
The girl will be a pure white Persian cat with sky blue eyes and a baby pink nose
The boy will be a chinchilla Persian cat with emerald green eye and dark pink nose
So I need some good name suggestions, I'd preferably like them to start with the same letter unless you have any other good ideas.
4 AnswersCats6 years agoI can't believe John snow is dead! Are any of the Stark children going to find each other?
I was counting on John Snow finding Arya, Sansa or Bran and Rickon. He has come so close to finding them. He was right outside the fort with the wildlings when Bran and Rickon was inside. He was offered the chance to go to Winterfell where Sansa currently is (or was, I don't know if her and theon will make it) and Sansa was so close to being reunited with her mum and her brother Robb before they were killed at the red wedding. And Arya was so close to being reunited with Sansa at her aunties home before Peter ******* Baylish went and pushed her down the sky hole.
I am absolutely sick of all the Starke's dying and my nerves are shot, every time I get my hopes up because I think the Starks will be reunited and will be safe they just get split up even more or they die. Are any of the remaining Stark family going to be reunited and in one piece. From what I remember Bran Stark is trying to turn into a bird. Arya can't see. Sansa has just jumped off a mega tall building with theon greyjoy, who by the way has his special bits missing. John Snow is dying. And Robb, Catlyn and Edard are already dead. Although I'm not sure if Catlyn is planning on making a return. Please someone tell me what will happen to the remaining Starke's.

4 AnswersHealth Care6 years agoWhat camera should I get?
I am a YouTuber (beauty guru) and I have just reached 1000 subscribers so I think it's about time that I get a decent camera, at the moment I am just using the camera on my Mac. I want a camera that is good for videoing and is really clear and can focus, I also want it to take good quality photos, very clear photos and in focus, at the moment I'm obsessed with bokeh effect so it would be great if I could take bokeh effect photos and videos on it aswell.
I was thinking about that canon eos 600d because it takes good photos and videos but to be honest I don't really know much about camera's. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

would this 13" MacBook Pro laptop ---> http://store.apple.com/uk/buy-mac/macboo...

I was wondering if it would fit into the middle zip compartment, on the michael kors website it says that the bag fit a 12" laptop, the Macbook Pro laptop is exactly 12.79 inches. Does this mean that it wouldn't fit or might it just fit. Has anyone bought this bag before from the MK website and tried fitting their 13" MacBook in it?
I was going to buy the bag from the apple store but they discontinued it about a month ago :'( but this bag looks exactly the same, it has all the same compartments, same name and make but I'm not sure if it's the same size.

His wing isn't bad, he can still move it but can't fly. I was looking online and they said that most vets will put the bird to sleep with a broken wing - there's no way I'm taking him (or her, I keep saying him but have no idea) to the vets if they're going to kill him. What should I do, I have him in a box with a blanket at the moment and I'm going to give him some bread when he's settled (I think he's sleeping at the moment) and yes he's still alive because he's breathing.

1 AnswerFashion & Accessories6 years agoCan I keep my dog in an apartment for hours?
I have a 1 year old male Lhasa Apso I always take him for walks before & after college and I always teach him tricks and play with him in my spare time and we still do the same when at uni. I was wondering what he did when I was away at college and he was home alone and its pretty much the same as he does when Im home hes a relaxed little dog and mainly sleeps allday when Im home and away he has plenty of toys to play with when Im not home like activity toys and brain teasers and his kong treat to he sometimes plays with them maybe once or twice a day when I'm here and when Im not but he prefers to sleep and watch TV which he I also leave on when I leave the house. At the moment I live my mum but I dont think my dog really likes her very much he always sit by me and sleeps in the same bed as me and if he gets tired on his walks he alway wants to be carried but when my mum tries to cuddle him he squirms away and when she goes to pick him up he runs off and usually comes and hides near me. My plan was to always leave him with my mum when I go to university but Im not sur about that anymore because he doesnt seem comfortable and I think she would pester him to much plus no matter how many times I tell her no to she gives him food including chocolate and she says it doesnt matter its only a bit (but it all adds up) when she walks him she goes to the green and lets him off the lead I only ever let him off the lead in the dog park and the beach because he runs on the road
