Headaches can have several causes.  Many people think that the major cause of headache is nervous tension, but there is strong evidence that suggests diet and environment as possible factors.  Some people get headaches because they are dependent on caffeine.  Other people may be allergic to salt, or they may have low blood sugar.  Still other people are allergic to household chemicals including polishes, waxes, bug killers, and paint.  If they can manage to avoid these substances, their headaches tend to go away.  When a person has recurring headaches, it is worthwhile to look for the underlying cause, especially if the result of that search is freedom from pain.

Last week we installed a kitty door so that our cat could come and go as she pleases. Unfortunately, we ran into a problem. Our cat was afraid to use the kitty door. We tried pushing her through, and that caused her to be even more afraid. The kitty door was dark, and she couldn’t see what was on the other side. The first step we took in solving this problem was taping the kitty door open. After a couple of days, she was confidently coming and going through the open door. However, when we removed the tape and closed the door, once again, she would not go through. They say you catch more bees with honey, so we decided to use food as bait. We would sit next to the kitty door with a can of wet food and click the top of the can. When kitty came through the closed door, we would open the can and feed her. It took five days of doing this to make her unafraid of using the kitty door. Now we have just one last problem; our kitty controls our lives!
