because he is a cat

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

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.

SO MAKE THE LEMONADE FOR HIM! HIM WANT LEMONADE HOOMIN!

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.

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