Many older cats are grumpy about removing knots because their joints are arthritic and they're worried about being hurt. If the knots are bad, speak to a friendly vet tech or groomer, who may be able to groom the knots out using a special tool and patience. For a short- haired cat introduce a rubber grooming tool or a deshedding brush as this removes shed hair and stops it building up. Use a comb on long-haired cats, but you may need to wait until the knots are gone before doing this.

My son doesn't ever want to get dressed. My fiancé and I are fed up with his behavior. We've tried everything on the list, but he'd rather go to daycare with just his diaper. What else can we try?

If nothing on this list is working, it may be time to talk to a doctor to see if there’s a neurological issue.

There's this guy at my gym. I gave him my number without thinking, and he started talking about marriage. I told him to stop and blocked him, but he keeps approaching me at the gym. I'm creeped out!

Tell him to stop immediately. If he doesn't, call the police and seek a restraining order.
