My mommy says it is important to give to charity.

So all told, my mommy managed to raise $155 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society with Friday night's Light the Night Walk in Glendale. My auntie April is a 3-year leukemia survivor and she flew in on Friday night to walk with my mommy and daddy at Sahauro Ranch Park. My grandparents donated $55 and my aunti Lyndsey donated $25. My mommy, daddy and Auntie April all donated $25 each. So Auntie April got to carry a lighted white balloon and my parents carried lighted red balloons. My mommy brought hers home for me to play with and I popped it immediately! It was scary! It made a big noise!

p.s. BTW, I had a big fat hairball today. Threw it right up on the chair at the dining room table right before my parents sat down to enjoy their banana pancakes. That was gross.

We have a wonderful new home!

My mommy and daddy have moved us into a wonderful new home and I really like it. There are high kitchen cabinets for me to climb on (and to subsequently nap on after I've reached their summit).

They also allow me to use the bathroom with them now as my box fits in the corner and my mommy even got me a fancy kitty litter mat to step on as I go into and out of my box. The shower is really special and I like to watch the water drip out of the faucet after my mommy is done with her shower. She bought a new modern shower curtain that my daddy is really pleased with. He was pleasantly shocked to find that mommy actually does have good decorating taste. We were getting worried... She was taking her Asian bathroom theme a bit too far with that bamboo shower curtain. Ew. I also really love the bathroom counter, which is faux granite. I like to sleep there on top of the hand towel mommy leaves out. That's where I dream about getting onto the Pet Promise catfood bag, which I definitely should be on. I am way cuter than that silly white cat on the bag now, have I ever mentioned it before?

My mommmy and daddy have a nice new bedroom with a big closet but I am not allowed to go into that room because my daddy doesn't want me sleeping on his Temperpedic bed. The nerve! The plant is also in there, and I am not allowed near the plant. My life is so rough! It's hard growing up!

There is also a fabulous laundry room I like to poke around in and a cool hallway outside the front door for me to run down, though I get in trouble for the latter. My mommy also bought me fancy new dishes to eat from that match the kitchen. They are deeper so my food doesn't pop out when I eat...I can be kind of a pig sometimes. I am working on that. It is very important for a wordly kitten like myself to have good manners.

But the best feature of our new home has to be the dining table my daddy put in front of the big window. I love to lay there and watch the cars go by outside. It's the best! Sometimes bugs and birds fly past the window too, so there is so much to look at. It wears me out! I have been trying to figure out what kind of car I want to buy. Or maybe a motorcycle. Maybe I can have my mommy and daddy chauffeur me around in a BMW convertible? The Traz is finding he has impeccable taste...

Another kitty after my own heart!

I do this all the time too! It's so fun!

My mommy has the same printer almost, except hers is newer.

A kitten after my own heart!

If only the Traz could have been introduced to doggies sooner! I was too afraid of the furballs at this age, but nowadays, I am a more mature Traz! I know dogs are inferior to me and I treat them as such. I have three doggie friends now and they are all black labs: Wilma, Betty and Hoku. I think Wilma and Hoku are hooking up in the romance department, but you didn't hear that from me... Hoku came over last week and fell in the pool. See what I mean about dogs? The Traz woul dnever do something so silly!

And when shall my Peet's French Roast be ready?

The Traz says this is unbecoming kitty behavior.

My mommy says this is called "packing" because we are "moving."

I really don't know what this moving is all about, but I do really like this packing thing! There are so many boxes to jump on top of and into! I have been a very busy little Traz these days with this moving thing going on. My daddy took everything out of the entertainment center and packed it away so that I can now sit inside the entertainment center like I've always wanted to. I just always knew those shelves were meant for me to play in!

I don't know what is going on, but something is up.

Things have really changed around here. My mommy has left Sharpie pens laying around to play with, which she never does. They are my toys and I hide them accordingly! She needs to get over it already.

And my daddy has been putting our books away in boxes and sealing them up! Whatever will the Traz read? I was deep into a Joseph Campbell book. Ugh! And now, all the tchtchkes are gone. Mommy boxed them all up! And now stacks of boxes are beginning to appear in my home. My humans are definitely up to something...

I must get to the bottom of this! There are no books to read, no knick knacks to knock off of the shelves...
