My inside cats eat my house plants! Is there something that I can do to my plants to make them unappealing to my cats that’s safe for my cats and my plants, and if so, is there a specific plant that’s safe for cats that I can use to try it first to make sure that it works for my cats before I take the risk of putting all of my plants where the cats can get to them?

I wouldn’t have any houseplants (real ones) in my house with my cats. If they are one of the poisenous ones (which are many) your cat could end up with seizures, heart failure, any number of things.

I’d take them outside in a shaded area or somewhere where they won’t get too cold since they’re indoor plants.

What kind of flowers should I get the woman I am dating?

We have been on 4 dates during the past month and things seem to be going well. For our next date, I thought I would give her flowers, so no occasion, except that I want to convey that I really like her. We are both in our mid to late 20s. During this time of year in the mid-atlantic region, what is a good idea for flowers and I don’t want to be cliche and give her roses? Thanks!

If you know any of her friends, then talk to them and ask them not to mention anything. Find out what her favourite flower is, that shows effort. Sure the friend will tell her even if they agree not too, but that also shows effort.

Plus, it’s also a good idea in case the friend turns around and says she suffers badly from hey fever, that way you can get plastic flowers as a gimmicky gift to prevent a romantic gift turning into a miserable date.
