Your cat’s meow can help you determine if they have a sore throat. Listen to them when they meow. Their meow might sound quieter, raspier, or thinner than usual. If there is a change in the way the meow sounds or a noticeable difference in the way the cat sounds, it might point to a sore throat.  Your cat may also stop meowing completely. Cats who experience sore throats may stop eating because it hurts or is difficult to swallow. They may also stop drinking. Watch the way your cat eats to make sure their eating habits have not changed. If your cat stops eating or drinking, they may become dehydrated or weak. Coughing may be a symptom of a sore throat. The cat may cough excessively or sound like they are trying to get something out of their throat. The cat may also start gagging. Cats may experience a sore throat that is related to some kind of mouth pain. If this is the case, they may begin drooling because their mouth hurts. Notice if your cat begins drooling, if there is excess saliva around the mouth, or if they start excessively licking their lips. Your cat’s behavior may help you decide if they have a sore throat. Cats who meow a lot or more than usual in one single day may develop a sore throat. If your cat has certain medical conditions, like an upper respiratory infection, it may also lead to a sore throat.

summary: Notice a change in the cat’s meow. Monitor your cat’s eating habits. Listen for any coughing. Notice any drooling. Decide if there is a reason for your cat’s sore throat.

The typical banana plant flowers in 6-7 months under ideal conditions, but may take up to a year depending on the climate.  Never remove the leaves around the flower, as they protect it from the sun.  Do not confuse this with the Banana Bunchy Top Virus. See Tips below. This may take an additional 2 months or longer. Each connected cluster of bananas is called a "hand" and each individual banana, a "finger". The entire stem containing several hands is called a bunch. The remaining flower bud and/or tiny extra banana hand are the sterile male portions of the plant. The hand should wither off on its own, but removing the flower bud will cause the plant to put more energy into growing fruit.  The male portion of the flower is called the "banana heart". Some varieties of banana plants produce edible banana flowers that are popular in Southeast Asian cuisine, but not all are suitable for consumption. Most flowers will fall off and die before harvest. Use a stick to prop up the plant if the bunches are dragging it down. This will protect the fruit from insects and other dangers, but they must be open at both ends to allow adequate air and water flow. Tie the nylon or plastic sack with soft twine several inches from the first hand. The small flower at the tip of each banana will become dry and easily rub off, or the banana plant will lose most of its leaves. This is a good time to harvest the fruit.  Cut a notch halfway into the tree, opposite the side of the bunch. Carefully let the tree bend and cut off the bunch. The fruit will ripen quickly once harvested, so you may want to pick some well in advance of harvesting so you don't end up with excess fruit that will go to waste. Remove the top half of the banana stem once you harvest the fruit. Desucker the base using the same process as you have while caring for your plant. Remember to leave one sucker to replace the now-dying mother plant.

summary: Wait for the purple flower to emerge. Wait for the petals to withdraw and reveal bananas. Once all bunches are revealed, remove the extra portions. Cover the bunch with plastic covers. Harvest bananas when the flowers or plant are dying. Cut the stem of the tree and prepare the next sucker.

Date and place of marriage. Information specifying residency and jurisdiction. Information regarding children, if any, including parentage, names, birth dates, and current custody arrangement. Information specifying assets and debt. Information specifying the grounds for divorce.

Many jurisdictions allow you to serve parties to a lawsuit or divorce by mail. Typically, you would send the document by U.S. mail, “return receipt requested,” so that you can demonstrate for the court that the document was delivered to the residence of your spouse. If you are unable to locate your spouse, some jurisdictions will allow you to serve by publication. This may mean that you are required to publish a notice in a newspaper where you believe your spouse resides. Most likely, you will be required to publish the notice over a course of weeks or months. After serving the petition, most courts require that you file a document demonstrating proof that your spouse was properly served. It is very important that you submit this document because it is often used to start the time period for when your spouse has to file a response. Typically, you should be able to locate the proof of service form in the same location that you located the divorce forms.
