Of course cats like grapefruit, they are carnivores.
Grapefruit is made in grocery stores from the meat they make there, where no animals are harmed.
Of course, the stores do have to use hemp [where they have to kill plants to get it] to make the rind/peel/skin.
You can consult any of the crazy cat lady forums to verify how much grapefruit your cat can eat, especially if
your cat shows any signs of unusual behavior, like no longer caring if he/she is treated like a god/goddess.
If any abnormal signs occur, immediately Feng Shui your entire home, contact a holistic practitioner on the crazy cat lady forum, massage your cats’ cheeks [glands] and brush her/him, and order her/him a yin-yang medallion [bling] on e-bay ASAP !!! to hang on their collar. If there is no improvement in 24hrs , you may need to wear only rainbow-colored clothing while you administer ‘sugars and love’ . Beware that purring may only be temporary signs of improvement.
For best results, take pictures regularly to document any changes. View the pics, and if their eyes abruptly ‘light up’ in the photographs, you know the cat is out-thinking you with a fake illness. But STILL, buy them the bling…or one night when you are sleeping well…you will regret it.
Please don’t take my word for it, I saw it on Jackson Galaxy-My cat from HELL…gotta be the gospel, eh?

Don’t feed your cat grapefruit.

Easy, Buddy…none is none.
Alisa cares and you know we all do. We love you as much as a red-headed step child, and no less.
We care about your stash, your job, your Sweetie’s health, …and you know it, eh?
We care about Cleo…and you can’t make us stop caring…so go Feng Shui your toilet paper,
and if you don’t…we will lobby your congressmen to make a law that you can’t buy any vaping shit online where you live…

Wow… just rolled all the shittiest things going on in my life into one post to throw in my face. Thanks. Last time i’ll be sharing anything personal on here, I guess…

Oh my my, Mike. I wish you’d go reread what Ozo said. He was trying to tell you how much we all care. He wasn’t trying to be a dick, like you have taken it.

Daisy had a couple of her friends knocking on the door for their afternoon treats and thought that I would introduce everyone to Brownie and Peanut.I am not sure of their real names but I figure if I feed them then I should name them.:grinning:
They belong to my neighbor and visit me a couple times a day.





As I set down to give them snackies I also noticed Debbie the Doe with her two fawns in the field behind the house.I need to remember to pick up some batteries for the game camera before they get all grown up.Only had my phone but maybe they can be seen in the pics.

I was going to tell you about the heat index of 107 today , then I remembered where you live.:sunglasses:
But out there it’s a dry heat right…:wink:

Most of the time it’s dry but come late July - mid September it’s humid and freakin’ awful! I’ve been known to sweat under a cold shower. Besides, once it gets past 110/115, it’s just horrible, wet or dry. It might actually be bearable if we had lush parks and trees other than Palms. Where I live is a natural wind tunnel and I complain about about the wind kicking up sand everywhere and into everything. There is a huge windmill farm here and someone visiting once told me that we would have less windstorms if we just shut down all the big fans. I had no response to that.

That’s funny! I also agree once the heat index gets above 100 it sucks regardless of the humidity!

My move brings me to my family which had already moved in advance (wife took job out of state). So now I am re-united with my two evil twins, Mother and son mini-Schnauzers, Maggie and Buzz. They have always performed their genetic task which is to kill anything that moves in their space (rat terriers). Someone told me that Schnauzers are the one dog that Ceasar (the Dog Whisperer) won’t own.

We train them every day and they actually have a professional Dog walker who wears them out regularly. They are so super sweet to Humans …adorable! But any other living creature must be eaten. I can loan them to you… they can detect grubs in your lawn and will dig them up and eat them …along with squirrels, birds, mice, lizards, snakes …you know stuff that moves in your house or yard. Maggie is small (15 lbs) but Buzz is the world’s largest mini-Schnauzer at 25 lbs …not an ounce of fat. Cute little fur babies! Lemme take a pic!

They look like little terrors…

I love them!!

Those eyes definitely have quite some mischief in them. I love Schnauzers, loyal to a fault - devoted until the end.

Ok. Heres my little friend. He’s called Kalem, he’s a jack russell and he’s 7 yrs old. I’ve had “jack’s” all my life and he’s the 3rd one ive had. He’s an absolute nutter and i love him to bits.



This one was day before yesterday, hot as hell in the uk, for a change.

And this is him with his teaddy bear. He won’t go anywhere without it. :yum:
