Our cat, the teenaged runaway

mellymellOk, not that Sensi is a teenager, I just think he's sort of got the attitude of a teenager (independent, don't need you unless you want to feed me or pet me, run around doing whatever I want outside, out all day, comes home late at night sort of thing). Well, about a week ago, I let him out in the morning, as usual, and we haven't seen him since. He's been known to take off for 3 or 4 days at a time (usually comes home smelling like old lady perfume), but not usually this long. I did notice evidence that he came home in the middle of the night about 3 or 4 days ago. The stuff blocking the cat door was all shifted and there was food missing, but no sign of Sensi. I've promised Chris that if he doesn't come back we can keep one of Neko's adorable kittens, but I'd really like to have Sensi back, he's a sweetheart. I'm guessing he's probably hanging out with old lady and her perfume, so I may put out signs and see if anyone in the neighborhood has seen him. He's a sweet kitty, and I wouldn't put it past him to cuddle up to pretty much anyone. I just hope he's safe and happy. I know if we get him back, he's getting a collar and a tag before he's allowed back outside, that's for sure!!!
So speaking of kitties, we've got 4, maybe 5 depending, that need good homes in about a month. They're almost 3 weeks old, and absolutely adorable.
Yikes, my head is killing me, must be time for caffeine. I've been trying to eat more bananas lately, trying to keep my muscles from cramping when we go hiking and such (mmmm, potassium). Seems to be working pretty well. They just looked so good at Garden Cove last week. Anyway, I've noticed something, when I was a kid I remember bananas having seeds, kind of like a kiwi. But they don't anymore. Maybe I'm just nuts and remember something that wasn't really there, but I could have sworn they used to have seeds. Oh well, I had heard something not too long ago about there possibly being a shortage of bananas in the near future because those that they breed for companies like Dole and Chiquita (sp?) don't have seeds, therefore they don't reproduce, and the trees are starting to die from old age and other complications. Well, me having the interests and little bit of plant knowledge that I do would just say, CLONE 'EM!! However, I'm sure its not that simple. Perhaps cloning the trees would result in strange defects because of their already genetically engineered nature. Maybe I need to start growing my own, like so many other things I've taken upon myself. Unfortunately where we live now, almost all of my growing ventures must be done indoors in order to give things the lighting they need. Guess that's the downside of living in the woods. I just wish corporate bastards would stop messing with our foods.
