Let me introduce myself. I'm Kitty Karmela, the curious cat. I am quiet but I get around. I decided to come to the CCCS Writing Camp becasue I need a little help getting started with my writing. I'm ready to meet all of the other campers. I think our writing will help us get to know one another. I hope Mrs. Kaplan will let us toast marshmallows.

Here are my three favorite things:
 * Looking out the window
 * Tasty treats
 * Nap time

= = On Tuesday, I visited a park near the Writing Camp. I am mostly an inside cat, so I stayed under the wooden bench because I didn't know what to expect. No nap time needed! There was so much going on, my eyes and ears were on high alert. Little kids riding their bikes were having a great time going around in circles, no one bumped into me - but those screeching wheels were annoying. Other kids were tossing balls, playing hopscotch, and chasing each other while an older gentleman took in some zzz's.The tall trees provided some comforting shady spots for the campers to observe and write on an otherwise hot and steamy day in South Philly. Beams of sunlight peeked through the trees and danced on the concrete pavement. I tried catching them with my paws, but they continued to sway this way and that. I noticed a boy watering the potted plants along the wall under the mosaic. The red flowers and the bright colored tiles above added an artistic edge to the city park. I felt safe in the park although the cars zooming by frightened me a bit. When it was time to leave, I overheard plans for lunch in the Italian Market. That could be one fancy feast for me!
