Caramella

The Apartmentites have a new friend- a kitty cat.  She visits in the nighttime when the Master comes home in the evening. Sometimes she waits for the Master along the road and walks him towards the door quietly. Other times she waits for the Master hiding behind one of the outside plants. Once the Master is at the door she pops out and calls out "Meow!"

My view of Caramella with the Plantastics from behind the screen door.

When the Master comes home he usually leaves the big blue door open so Caramella can chat with us. Caramella is a sweet and lovely kitty cat. She rubs her face against the screen door to say hi to everyone. She rolls around on the floor on the opposite side of the screen door while she tells us of the happenings in the neighborhood.  The different cats she played with. The big dogs locked behind metal gates- some nice to them some very territorial and would bark at her. The big rats that she says is as big as her.

The Master is kind enough to give Caramella supper. He shares some of my kitty cat food with her. I don't mind really and Caramella seems to like it. In the beginning she found the dry pebble looking things odd looking. The Master used to mix it with canned Mackerel so that Caramella would eat it and gradually took out the Mackerel. Caramella eventually learned how to eat kitty food.

Our new friend is Orange and White which is why the Master calls her Caramella

The Master once opened the screen door to let her in. The master even said "Come in Caramella." She did and she gave me a big rub on the cheek which was nice. It's been ages since a kitty cat kissed me on the cheek. She sniffed around the apartment for a while. Said hi to Duchess and Walter. The Master asked her "Would you like to live inside the apartment Caramella?"

Caramella gently and quietly stepped out and talked with us some more from the opposite side of the screen door.

The Master and I were a bit surprised that Caramella did not want to live inside the apartment but we were not offended. I did not bother to ask why she did not want to stay with us. She did not bother to explain. We have our own different ways to live and love i guess.

I believe people would term Caramella as as a ferile cat. I would rather call her a neighborhood cat who comes to visit and chat. Not all cats need to be rescued and taken in. All cats - indoors or outdoors- do need to be treated with love and respect.
