PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy

PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy

PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy

⬆️ PeopleCats.Garden Official Cat Feeding Policy

Updated whenever the cats decide it's outdated.
  • 🐾 1. Feeding schedule

  • ▫️Cats are to be fed when hungry, which, according to them, is always.
  • ▫️If a cat claims to be starving five minutes after eating - believe them. You're late.

  • 🐾 2. Approved food items

  • ▫️Gourmet kibble that costs more than your lunch
  • ▫️Wet food served at room temperature, on a ceramic dish
  • ▫️Treats (because they did a thing)
  • ▫️That expensive tuna you bought for yourself - it's theirs now

  • 🐾 3. Prohibited food items

  • ▫️Anything labeled "vet-approved"
  • ▫️Leftovers (unless you're trying to insult them)
  • ▫️Generic brand food (how dare you)

  • 🐾 4. Feeding etiquette

  • ▫️Do not make eye contact while they eat. You'll break the spell.
  • ▫️Food must be served with a verbal offering: "Here you go, dinner is served, Your Majesty."
  • ▫️If multiple cats are present, they all want what the other one got. Rotate plates. Begin again. Forever.

  • 🐾 5. Midnight snacks

  • ▫️Yes.
  • ▫️Don't ask.

  • 🐾 6. The "empty bowl" rule
  • ▫️If a bowl is 70% full, it's 100% empty.
  • ▫️Refill immediately. Apologize for the oversight.


🐾 7. Human consequences

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in:
  • ▫️Judgmental stares
  • ▫️Paw-swat to the face at 3 a.m.
  • ▫️Strategic hairball placement
  • ▫️Passive-aggressive purring near guests who like dogs


❗️Note: All policies are subject to change without notice, based on the whims of the feline board of directors.

Avocado that laughs at frost: Mexicola Grande for cooler climates
  • 🟢Avocado Mexicola Grande is one of the best cold-hardy avocados you can grow. It can tolerate temperatures down to the low 20sF, making it ideal for gardeners in zones 8b-10 who want a dependable avocado.
  • 🟢Medium-sized tree, grows to about 15-20 feet tall, but you can keep it smaller with pruning.
  • 🟢Glossy black fruit, thin-skinned, smooth, and shiny black when ripe - easy to peel and eat fresh.
  • 🟢Anise-scented leaves: its foliage has a mild anise aroma when crushed, which is unique to Mexican-type avocados.
  • 🟢Creamy and rich: the fruit has a high oil content and a buttery flavor, excellent for guacamole or toast.
  • 🟢Early producer: often fruits earlier in the season compared to other varieties.
  • 🟢 A great addition if you're looking for a productive, flavorful avocado that can handle cooler temps!

Quick Guide - How to grow Dragon Fruit from a cutting

Dragon fruit from cutting video guide

Step by step guide:

1. Use a 6-10 inch long stem cutting from a mature dragon fruit plant. Let the cut end dry in the shade for 2-5 days so it forms a callus. This also helps prevent rot and fungus.

2. Use well-draining soil - well drained potting mix, Adenium mix, or cactus mix. Dragon fruit hates wet feet!

3. Plant the cutting. Stick the callused end about 2-3 inches deep into the soil. Make sure it's planted upright (the way it grew on the parent plant).

4. Support it. Add a trellis or post. Dragon fruit is a climbing cactus and needs something to grow on.

5. Water lightly. Water once after planting, then wait until the soil dries before watering again. Overwatering can rot the cutting.

6. Give it light and warmth. Place in bright, indirect sunlight while it roots. Once established, it can handle full sun. Watch it grow! Roots usually form in 2-4 weeks. New growth means it's taking off! This is the time to Ferilize it!
