Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 299

June 8th, 2014 by Karen 33 Comments

Kitty Supermodel Tabs the Cat

I hope you enjoyed this installment of The Tabby Cat Chronicles, a Tabs the Cat comic. 🙂

In other news…someone is celebrating his/her birthday a day early.

I’ll give you one guess (and there are two correct answers).

OK, it’s me and Tabs. He wanted the condo to himself today, so basically he kicked me out.

I’m not cranky about it, though, because he sent me to Napa, and there are worse places in the world to spend your birthday and birthday eve.

I’m not sure what he has planned, but before I left the house he had me send out 500 e-mail invitations and a mass text with the following, “Party is on 2nite at my place, b there.”

I don’t plan to do much posting tomorrow, but I’ll be around, doin’ my thang. Maybe I’ll see you here or on Twitter or Instagram.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping me and Tabs company all these years. I started in early 2007. Wow, it’s been a while…

There’s nothing profound or fascinating about blogging. It’s just me on the other end of a keyboard in a messy, still almost unfurnished (after three years!) condo with a husky but extremely amiable tabby cat and a not-so-subtle addiction to makeup. Pretty much same as it ever was.

I hope that I brighten your days sometimes as much as you brighten mine. 🙂

Who is Tabs the Cat?
About seven years ago I befriended a stray, flea-bitten tabby cat with a bad case of worms. I could see he’d fallen on hard times, but his profound knowledge of high fashion and department store cosmetics led me to believe that he was more than meets the eye. We became fast friends, and now he’s actually my boss (and a successful kitty model). -Karen

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Happy birthday Karen and Tabs!!

    The comic is so cute. He’s gotta keep inspiring. 🙂

    I think I started following MBB in 2009 or 2010. Before there was bloglovin, I would just type makeupandbeautyblog in the URL. Thanks for everything!

    Tabs, may your day be filled with salmon and tuna! Karen, have a wonderful time in Napa and enjoy your special day. I really love the blog, first and only one I have ever followed. I work from home so it’s really nice to have friends out there online. My Clooney’s 3rd birthday is Flag Day, so extra chicken breast all round.
