When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give ~~Cave Johnson~~ this kitty lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the ~~man~~ cat who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Too many lemons for a cat makes for one helluva sourpuss.

I'll see myself out, thx.

Worse, those lemons aren't fully ripe. Of course you're adding sugar anyway but they're going to be low on juice and possibly bitter, so be sure to taste before you ruin other ingredients. Storebought lemons are often dyed so you needn't try for that look, but at least half of the skin should be a clear bright yellow. And they should twist off without a stem. Lemons ripen slowly, and they keep well on the tree, so you shouldn't have a bunch like this unless a storm or something brings them down or a branch breaks.

because he is a cat

Thanks, that's the context I needed to get it. I almost missed it

Or because he's a cat that is near lemons. Citrus is very bad for cats and they HATE the smell.

Most of them hate the smell. One of my cats would slightly bite the peel of oranges and rub his face on them. We have to hide our oranges to stop him poisoning himself 🙄

That same cat hates fish, will steal bread or pasta right off your plate, and only drinks water by dipping his paw in it and licking it off. He's weird

Uh my cats like my lemon tree

I always say: when Life gives you lemons, jam them up Life's tailpipe.
