How many cats is too many for one household?
Comments (23)Five was way way too many. This was because two cats were dumped off at me when I already had three. The owners were friends who couldn't move into their new housing with their cats (they were foreclosed out of their house and had to move to an apartment that would work for their autistic daughter - but alas allowed no pets). I wanted to move the cats to a no-kill shelter, but there was a three plus month waiting list. So, I kept them. It was way too many because the first three and the second two did not REMOTELY get along. Ever. I tried everything. Okay, Serenity (my oldest cat at nearly 17.5 years) would, and still does, get along with everyone -- but the other four??? Naw. I had to keep some in the basement, some upstairs. We all hated this. At the moment, I have two cats. Three would be fine at a maximum, but they all have to at least tolerate each other!!!!...See MoreToo many cats on Spicebush?
Comments (3)They'll both be defoliated, and the caterpillars still won't get enough to eat, even if the leaves are big, like they might be in the shade. Do you know where some sassafras grows in your area? They use sassafras here, spicebush isn't native (well, except a rare type that grows in a few bogs) and when I feed sassafras to the caterpillars that I've found on my one little spicebush, they don't seem to know the difference. The two plants are closely related, and the chemical makeup of the leaves must be identical or nearly so. If you want to raise your caterpillars yourself, you could just feed them (washed) sassafras leaves from wild trees. Or, you could cut off the leaf the cats are on and attach it with a clothes pin to a sassafras tree. You could leave one caterpillar on one of the spicebushes. One caterpillar probably won't damage the bushes too much. Of course, if you leave any of them to raise itself, there's a strong possibility they'll be eaten by predators or used by a parasitic wasp. That's why I raise caterpillars myself. Good luck! Sherry...See MoreHow many mirrors are too many?
Comments (8)If they wouldn't reflect people in the room, they probably would be hung too high on the wall to look right. You might want to rethink the mirror over the fireplace, too. It's pretty, but it looks like it doesn't reflect anything but the ceiling? A gorgeous piece of art there might be a better choice. If there is a wall opposite the fireplace that the mirror would work on, it would reflect the view out the windows, doubling the light and giving you something to look at besides the ceiling....See MoreHow many (decorative) light fixtures is too many?
Comments (15)Chispa and 3onthetree, I think you were closest to understanding what I was trying to ask. :) The spacing by the hood is 12" at the narrowest point so there is room for sconces there. Is it too much to have both those and pendants over the island? Or which would you choose? I am undecided on lighting inside the glass cabinets because they are more for useful dishes rather than display. (The rendering is for layout only and does not show any tile, trim, or countertop choices.)...See Morespiritual_gardner
