Seriously, more than just biased cat mom...he does things that are just amazing to convey his wants/needs.
His biggest pain in the butt? He can open doors!!!
He made it out the front door once, luckily a neighbor noticed him.
He WILL NOT leave the linen closet alone. That is where food and treats are kept.
He will open the door and then chew through the bags.
Seriously, tons of fresh food waiting in the kitchen for him, he wants the BAG.
Hubby had to go get a hook and eye latch so that the door stays shut.
He watches us very carefully as we open and close it.
I would NOT be surprised if he freaking learned how to climb up to it and unlatch it.
Ingredients:
3 or 4 Ripe bananas (mashed)
⅓ Cup melted butter
1 Cup sugar
1 Egg (beaten)
1 Tsp vanilla
1 Tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 ½ Cup all purpose flour
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Mix butter into mashed banana
3. Mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla
4. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in
5. Add the flour a bit at a time, mix well
6. Pour into a prepared loaf pan
7. Bake 1 hour
Yeah, that unattractive black blob on the right? Those would be my previously frozen, defrosting bananas. mmm.

I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that your cat really DOES watch you open that latch till he figures out how to open it. I know my parents cat does that with door-handles - that is, if he can make then turn downwards, the door will open. More than once I've seen him hurling himself at a door to get the right elevation to snag the handle!
ReplyDeleteI swear, they are really plotting to take over the world! Free kibble and treats for all!
DeleteSounds yummy! I've got a few bananas I might just have to let sit a while to get extra ripe. Perfect for bread. Now see what you made me do!

That's what all good friends do...they don't make your decisions for you, they just lead you down the right paths. In this case, banana bread really IS the right path!
DeleteThanks for the recipe. ave a wonderful weekend. Linda @Crafts a la mode
ReplyDeleteSo funny about the cat. I am watching my daughter's dog for an extended period of time and she can't get into the pantry by herself, but I left the door open and caught her with her head stuck in a bag of dog chews. She looked guilty and happy at the same time. She got her chew and I saved her from the bag! Thank you so much for sharing your banana bread over at Celebrate it Sunday! I will be pinning it to my bread board!
