Karamel
Location: Izmir, Turkey
Karamel is a lazy and beautiful kitten. She is different because her two sisters were pure white but she is pure black. We found her and her mother in our garden’s woodshed. It was hard to see her because she was disappearing in shadows. Everywhere in our house is her playground, as you can see…
Such a beautie!!!
Tiger gets first POUNCE today!
i know such a cutie!
She is just too precious. Who’s gonna grab her for their backpack today?
ME !!!
I have two black kitties, fully grown, who’d just LOVE to have a new baby to love,
and of course, I would too =^..^=
All right everyone, out of my way. I am about to find out what it is like to catnap!! I meant kidnap at cat, then maybe I will take a catnap. I know I already have a cat, but I just feel like hogging a green eyed little black kitty.
What a cutie pie!!! I love the green eys, they are so intense and full of mischeif!
*I* will put her in the backpack.
Usually I lean toward white kittens, but you might have to fight me for this one. She is so cute. I love the green eyes.
I will gladly share Amanda. But not yet.
Black Cats Rule !!!!
so last night around 12:00am…….Anne decided that moms Eyeballs do wierd things and what are those fluttery things hm? she was licking my eyelids and sniffing the lashes LOL I love this stage of devlopement and bonding, although I kinda wish the middle of the night was not the venue………………….
Oh, that is funny Brandi!
AWWWWW! That’s so cute.
That is so sweet Brandi Lee. I love the bonding part too.
My cat used to do that, too!!!
Velvet, my hyperthyroid/crf kitty used to wake me up sometimes by rubbing her whiskers on my eyelids. Talk about waking up fast !!! BTW, Velvet is doing better after being on the tapazole for 5 days…thanks for all your hugs, they’re certaintly working, and my stress level is much better thank you !!!
Cheri,
That is wonderful news! I am so glad things are better… Poor little Velvet… Awwwwww…
more hugs to you!
GREAT news about Velvet!! They bounce back pretty fast once they’re on that thyroid medicine. My 16 yr old Kittyman is doing great also and is playing like a kitten. Kitty hugs and kisses to you both!!
Glad to hear that everyone’s kitties are doing better! Of course, it was all thoes hugs and snuggles we sent their way!! Had to be!
YEAH!!!! More hugs and snuggles and scritching, just as a maintenance dose!
Cheri, I’m so glad your Velvet is doing better. Give her lots of hugs from Huddy’s mama.
Glad Velvet is feeling better. I will still keep you both in my prayers.
That is great news. What a relief! Yeah, we’ve had a few whisker ticklers in our lifetime.
Glad to hear that Velvet is doing much better, Cheri. Give your kitty lots of kisses and snuggles.
Cheri,
So happy for you, that Velvet is doing better. Hugs to you and kitty scratches for Velvet.
Good news is nice to hear. So happy for you and Velvet.
OK there is more
I was just taking a bath and laying in the tub just soaking……Erwin decided to climb in with me, so he is standing on me and I get the giggles, now I dont want him to fall in and take a bunch of my skin with him……..but he is standing there rubbing on my wet hands ???? the goof finally got out but it was really funny…..
Silly Erwin!! He sure does LOVE you!!!
Hilarious, Brandi Lee. You have very entertaining kitties. Never a dull moment in your household.
Brandi Lee, you know your cat loves you when he’s willing to get wet to be close to you. Erwin sounds like an adventurous and funny boy.
He is the Best !!
When I was a girl, my best friend had a cat that would lick her eyes every morinig to get up for school. Of course the cat didn’t understand the concept of Summer vacation and she would complain all the time, I was just so jealous that she could have a cat that I couldn’t understand!
Joshie’s ex-sister Nike used to wake me up by licking my eyelids. Sort of “The sun is up, and I am hungry and I want to play. Probably the only thing I don’t mind missing about her. Every time I sleep in, I get a little evil internal grin knowing that my ex-wife doesn’t get that opportunity. Heh heh.
That is mean Ivory Bill. Funny but mean!!
That’s why the adage is “All’s fair in love and war”.
Good morning TDK’ers ! Such a beautiful little furball!
What a little greene-eyed angel! She looks so cozy in her blankies. I’d snuggle up to her anytime.
Peek a boo! I see you!
She looks so sweet and happy. She’s got the big expressive eyes, ready to catch something.

I couldn’t agree more. Karamel appears to be on the verge of a lot of FUN!

Good morning TDKers!
It is a sunny, but windy day here today.
Karamel is so cuddly looking and I love her green eyes! What a cutie!!
oh so very mean and scary…….she looks like my 16 year old Tabitha
Wow, I have heard of Turkish towels but I never knew they came with a bundle of joy in them. I am going shopping right now!
Oooh! Turkish Delight!!
Turkish Delight Fuzz!
Waaaaaayyy too cute!! I notice lots of cute laundry basket fuzz in the past few weeks….this must be the natural habitat for excedingly cute fuzz butts!
Uh, I mean….excEEdingly cute fuzz butts!
I call my babies fuzz faces!!!! and of course my littlest one is called smudge or fudge face because she has a smudge on her little nose!!!
That’s funny because my hubby calls our W.H. “fur face” and he gets this really insulted look on his face like” I know you ain’t talking to me”…..
My favorites are Little Whiskers and Sugar Kitten but either one usually earns me a rather insulted look from my furry roommate. I also will use Baby Blue Eyes if a name hasn’t been chosen yet.
Another beautiful kitty with great eyes!
Good morning TDK’rs! Beautiful sunny day here, but a tad chilly!!
What a cute, sweet Karamel fuzz! Looks just like my Biscuit when he was a baby! Awwwwwww!
Went to see Wild Hogs yesterday, what a great movie! Lots of laughs! Travolta still a cutie…..
Lovely green eyes. Looks like she was startled and is saying..okay you found me. Let’s play more hide and seek.
we need to do a site……… “cats in baskets”.. turkish fuzz……..Evan finally got in his new basket, gave in after Kocka was sleeping in it. Well guys it’s been fun but today will be the last day i’ll be on in the mornings. tomarrow i’ll be busy getting ready to leave then I’ll be gone until monday. Then start back to work, been off since thanksgiving with bulging disc in my back and was told i also have arthritis in my spine. Dr told me I need to find a differrent job, I’ve been looking but not much out there right now. They are building a new walmart not far from home. not my Ideal job but would be alot easier work then what I do now. I’ll still be checking the site but not until evenings.
Good luck Athena. Take care.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Big purrs.
Take lots of stretch breaks on your journey. We’ll miss you…
Good luck back at work! Have you considered going to school? Not just cause I work at a college but because I work at a college after I went back to school after 20 years and now have a wonderful job, that I love and has all kinds of bennies. It is worth it and there is sooo much funding out there, especially for “non-traditional” students.
i was 30 when i went back to nursing school well worth the agony life is great now 20 yrs later
I have thought of taking some classes but I am way past 30, have daughter that is senior in college right now. Maybe after she grads in may i’ll look in to it more. Pharmacy tech has interested me but haven’t found anywhere local that offers the program. I worked as a med aid in nursing home for many years when my kids were small.
Athena try Walgreens they used to pay for pharmacy school all you had to do was work for them for a specfic number of years. They were a great company to work for my mom started with them at age 37 and retired after 25 years. They have profit sharing no union but would pay comparable to union jobs. Good Luck in whatever you do. Hope your back feels okay.
I love cats, but I don’t think I would be thrilled if the little angel decided to lick my eyelids.. since cats like to groom themselves. everywhere. All I can think of is where has that tongue been? yuck
Remarkably, even with the places that tongue has been it is cleaner than our tongues, for the most part. I read this in a cat vet journal that I subscribe to, and I couldn’t help thinking about that the next time my boyfriend wanted to kiss me (REALLY kiss me).
I let my Desdemona wash me every night. Aforementioned boyfriend claims that she is nursing, but my response is “And your point would be what, exactly?”.
That is why I have NEVER French kissed-I am repulsed by spit! And yes you are right, cat’s tongues are cleaner, they have a natural anticeptic in their spit.
My youngest cat, Snickers, has developed a bond with my roomie’s cat–a bond which has now evolved into grooming each other’s…um, well…the place that cats always choose to groom when you have company. (And I don’t mean “the middle of the living room floor”, either!) So when you mention the whole “where has that tongue been” question–at my house we can answer it, and it ain’t pretty!!!
Do they make Listerine for cats, I wonder?
Maverick licks my eyelids and also licks my HAIR. He does that to everybody. If you pick him up, he HAS to lean over and lick your hair.
Sylvester likes to lick my nose and I have to be careful because he will lick it till it is raw. My first cat, Whiskers use to like to bathe my face. I called it “kitty Loofa” and my skin was so soft after she licked my face. She would even go down my neck. I really liked it as it felt like a real “bonding” with her. RIP Whiskers.
Turkish fuzz butt!! How cute she is.
Good Morning TDK’rs.
It is 52 degrees but warming rapidly. Everyone
enjoy there day and ‘Hug Someone Special’ each day!
FYI! Thanks to my friends at TDK, was told about “pill pocket” treats for my Kittyman who needs his meds twice a day and who was starting to figure out my tricks, he loves the treats, and no more of me begging him to pleeeeeeeeeease swallow the pill this time! Thanks! Kittyman sends kisses too!
I would love to find a little fuzzy like that in my laundry basket.
Good Morning TDK’rs. It’a beautiful here today hope it’s that way for everyone else. Looks like clear weather all the way across to Arkansas which is good because I have to drive to Arkansas today and tomorrow. My son is having a very difficult time after his surgery and his girlfriend has to get back to work. They need the money very badly and she can’t afford to loose her job, so I’m going to help out and gladly take care of him. And just think I had two tickets next Saturday to see Eric Clapton in Vegas, oh well, Clapton isn’t near as important as my son. I gave my tickets to my daughter and her boyfriend making them promise to give me all the details. Wish me well you have all become my support group, although I more than likely won’t be here to read your comments I will know they are there. Look what you did for me when he had his surgery. Bye the way I told him about the prayers that were sent his way, he was very grateful. Talk with you when I return, their not on line at his house.
I hope he gets well soon. I’m sure it will help his recovery to have you by his side.
Positive and healing thoughts and prayers to you and your son… and his girlfriend too. Not going to be easy for a while.
Karamel - yep, my first thought was peek-a-boo fuzz.. Someone beat me to that one !
My Chloe licks my face, eyelids, hands, arms… she is a licking/loving bundle of fuzz. I know she cleans herself, but can’t resist the love she gives in her own way.
Speedy recovery to your son Sherry! Well wishes and prayers headed your way……..
Such a good mom! Wish him well and see if the local library has computer access. That way you can keep us updated on his progress.
Sending positive thoughts your way, Sherry. Wishing you and your family all of the strength you need during this difficult time.
Good thoughts sent your way. I hope your boy is better soon.
May god bless you and your son and his girlfriend hope all goes well. Tell your son that he is never alone not even in his sleep god and everyones prayers are always around.
Cute little kitty!!! My 3 year old cat does the same she jumps on my bed in the middle of the nite and rubbs her noes on my face and plays with my hair guess we all have somthing in common.
Safe driving Sherry and positive thinking coming your way.
Sherry love and prayers are going your way I pray that your son will heal soon. Sorry you have to miss the concert but love comes before concerts besides will Clapton pick out your nursing home when you get old!
All good wishes and thoughts your way.
My BBC, Black Boy Charley, the college kit, sleeps with me at night. However, he is terrible to sleep with. He constantly tries to muzzle under my chin and on my neck. His claws don’t quite recede all the way so I get pricked with them during his ritual. I have been tolerant of his ritual but I am sore in the morning and wake up several times as we are trying to readjust when I move in the bed. He is getting a little better about his ritual and seems to be less needy than he was a few weeks ago. Have a great day TDKers! I love black cats, always have……..
It took me awhile, but I’m used to Huddy muzzling under my chin and neck. That’s where he sleeps so I just have to deal with it - lol.
My Desdemona does this as well, and though she does let me clip her claws sometimes, most of the time I just have to slip my hand in and cover her paws while she is nuzzling. We play a little game in which she slips her paws out from under my hand and then I re-cover her paws, and this goes on for a while until finally she just decides to lick my hand.
I came up with this because I was going to work covered in cat “hickies” from her claws. My kits are so incredibly spoiled that I just tolerate their oddities, even though I have to get up in the middle of the night and sleep on my couch because I cannot bear to disturb them in my bed. Oh well-
I thought I was the only one who left the bed and slept on the couch so as not to disturb my ‘babies.’
Cat owners are such spoilers of their babies.
My cats and kid are NOT spoiled. They are just very well loved !! Paka thinks I need kitty facials every night, she licks my nose and around my mouth. She also needs to sleep under the blankets. Usually under my chin and sometimes across my nose and mouth-gasp.
Loving them well spoils them. ;:
Paka sounds like a riot.
My son has her convienced that her name is “bad cat”(said with love). She almost answers to that better then she does her name.
My Emerson and I play this game. He will eventually give up too
tinafish, I have a BBS ( black boy sacha :))
Good morning, TDK’ers!
This site has really gotten to me and after a few (too many!!!) kitty-less years, I adopted Bob from The Humane Society this weekend. He’s 11 weeks old and full of energy! Do you guys and gals have any tips for me? I read all the kitty brochures this weekend - Bob attempted to help - but you can never know too much, right?
Congrats on your new baby!! I can’t really give you too many tips except to move stuff that he could climb on and have it possibly fall on him. The only other tip I have is to enjoy that little one. They grow so fast.
I was taking pictures of him this weekend, and I thought of sending them to this site, but I wouldn’t want anyone to try to sneak him away in their backpack or something!!!
How stingy of you Great Dane. What does the little guy look like?
Okay, maybe I’ll share a little…
Ahem…would LOVE to see Bob on http://www.catster.com
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
Just to enjoy him! I really miss the ‘let’s jump up in the air for nothing’ stage and the running sideways bit that kittens always seem to do. Actuallly, one of mine still does the jumping thing–it’s just not as cute when they weigh a ton!
Congrats!
What kind of advice do you seek? If there are no medical issues he should be an active, loving and playful kitty cat. This is one link I found:
http://moggycat13.tripod.com/id82.html
Take care!
Sorry, I read 11 years old and searched for tips for older kitties.
I think you definitely can google too. I just vanish…
No problem, I checked out the site and it had a page on bringing home a new kitten, too. Thanks!
Hurray Great Dane! Congrats on your new baby. I agree, enjoy him while you can cause they grow like weeds…..I always put out a cardboard scratch pad for them, even that tiny he’ll start using it and stay away from the furniture. Get the turbo scratcher and watch him go nuts!! Mine still play with theirs and they’re 16, 6 and 2! Good luck to ya and Bob! Keep us posted!
I notice he’s scratching already. He’s figured out how to get on the bed, too. He hops up as far as he can on the comforter and climbs the rest of the way - and then hops right back down and does it again!
How sweet! AWWWWWW! Don’t you just love em’?? My Harley the 6 year old used to climb up my leg that way all the way to my shoulder! If he did that now, he’d probably knock me over! He’s 21 lbs. now!! Enjoy every minute with Bob, and take pictures, I regret not taking lots of pics when mine were babies….
Bob’s been trying to climb my legs, too - he’s not getting very far yet!
Oh, CONGRATS on your new baby Great Dane!!!! I am SO happy for you! Bob sounds darling…. What color is he???
Enjoy him every minute you can, as they do grow way too fast!
Congratulations!!!!!!
Bob’s a tabby - he’s white, grey and a little brown with a pink nose (I’m a sucker for those!) and his little paw pads are pink and brown.
I thought I would get a female kitty, and had already bought a little pink collar and pink bed in anticipation. When I met Bob, I forgot all about that, so now he’s wearing a pink collar and sleeping in a pink bed. Hope he doesn’t have an identity crisis…….
On a practical note, get him used to some preventive medical care now, that you can perform. For instance, start clipping his claws now, so he won’t fight you (hopefully) when he gets older. Most importantly, start his dental care now, with the brushing and stuff, so that he will let you do it when he is older. Tooth cleaning at the vet’s is expensive and sometimes dangerous for the kitty if they have to put him out to do it.
Otherwise, as everyone says, enjoy him!!!!
Thanks, Kate. I did get him a little toothbrush and tomorrow when we visit the vet (shhh, don’t tell Bob) I’ll see about purchasing one of those things to clip his claws with. I bought kitty shampoo, as well. Wonder how that’ll go? Bob seems to like rolling around in his litter box, so I figured getting him ued to a bath every now and then would be a good idea.
Don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t use pet nail clippers (they scare me more than anything) I use people nail clippers, the big ones for toe nails, with the straight edge. I think they work the best and I can better judge what I’m clipping. Just use what you’re most comfortable with….
