Internationally acclaimed kitty supermodel, media mogul and feline style icon Tabs the cat burst onto the kitty modeling scene in 2007 with a fur-bulous feature spread in the pages of Makeup and Beauty Blog. Since then, Tabs has gone on to become the one-and-only true, plus-size kitty supermodel in the biz. Others imitate, but Tabs reigns supreme. His massive, incomparable portfolio of more than 700 kitty modeling jobs is only overshadowed by his girth.
As you know, it’s New York Fashion Week, so Tabs has been extra busy.
And extra fussy.
Before the shows this morning, we went to his favorite burrito joint — a hidden hole in the wall in Brooklyn that only the most fashionable foodies know about. Honestly, I can’t even share the name or address with you because it’s that secret (Tabs is afraid it’ll get out on Yelp, and then pretty soon the place would be swamped).
So, at the place, Tabs ordered a kitty burrito and actually snapped at the burrito girl. “Mrow!” I know guacamole is extra! Then he picked up his burrito with his mouth and stormed out.
Purr usual, I had to apologize for his rude behavior; I paid the bill and included a generous tip.
Yup, that’s my job — cleaning up after that cat’s messes.
The stress of Fashion Week is really getting to him… In fact, yesterday, as I was working out to a Jillian Michaels DVD in my hotel room, Tabs barged in and started complaining about my form!
Apparently, he’s studying to become a personal trainer now, as if all of his other endeavors weren’t enough. It may have something to do with him being on the new cat version of The Biggest Loser.
As a host, not a contestant.
I honestly don’t know where that cat gets the energy for so many projects. I mean, just look at his kitty modeling jobs from this week alone… 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Jeez, who knew Tabs could be such a diva?! Mariah has nothing on him.
Mariah who?!?
XOXO,
Tabs
Hehe
So true. In terms of diva-ishness, Mimi couldn’t even apprentice for Tabs. He takes being a diva to interstellar heights. 🙂
Tabs is so fine! He can work all the angles! Love the pictures,lol
Tabs would say that’s because he invented the angles, Denise. He’d say that he paved the way for all future kitty supermodels and that all others are just walking in his oversized, husky paw/footsteps.
Thank you Denise.
A kitty model’s work is never done!
Purrs,
Tabs
Thank you. And please tell Tabs thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us human mortals.
I was feeling like a giant losery loser this afternoon and Tabs made me giggle (please don’t tell him that, I don’t want to anger him) 🙂
Haha! I’ll tell him, Jennifer (but I won’t tell him that he made you giggle). 🙂 Have a great week.
My dearest Jennifer,
I hope that you feel better soon. Sending you restorative kitty hugs from the depth of my tum.
Kisses,
Tabs
Tabs is the greatest! He is the cats that all other kitty models are compared to. He sets the bar! He throws off the curve!
And you know what they say — with great power comes great responsibility. Tabs takes his role as the elder statesman of the kitty modeling community very seriously. Millions of cats out there are depending on his leadership.
Hi Sarah,
You know it!
Love ya, mean it,
Tabs
Tabs can do absolutely anything ! what a great role model … lovely pictures 🙂
Hi Shreya,
Thank you! He definitely feels that way, that he can do anything. I won’t deny it. He fits a lot of ego in that 18-pound physique.
Hope you had a great weekend.
Thanks, Shreya. I try to be a good example for up-and-coming kitty models. It’s hard work, but a satisfying career.
XOXO,
Tabs
Wow, Tabs is so talented! I especially like pic of him at the gym. I e tried to get my cats to at least help out with the cleaning, but no luck.
Hi Donna,
I don’t know about your cats, but Tabs is very food motivated. When his food bowl gets low, suddenly he’s the most loving, helpful cat in the world. It’s weird. Only it’s not, LOL! 🙂
Dear Donna,
Your feline friends know what’s up. We don’t life a paw because we deserve a life of leisure.
Love ya, love the kitties,
Tabs
That contouring quint is fabulous. I love the paw shape. 🙂 Tabs will definitely regret it if he makes the leap to a robotic pet assistant. Divas require an emotional connection!
That’s what I’m saying. I warned him that this was a beta version and probably didn’t have perfect deep-tissue kitty massage technique, but you know Tabs. He’s an early adopter. 🙂
My Dearest Kim,
Fun fact about the contouring quint: they used my paw shape to create the template for the product. I’m a stickler for details, as you know.
As for a robotic pet assistant… All I have to say is good help is hard to find.
Kisses,
Tabs
