Of all the things Tabs was, low-carb wasn’t one of them. That cat loved his bread. Sourdough, French, honey whole wheat — if it was bread and I was eating it, I was sharing it with Tabs.
It was one of his many enduring quirks.
Not a lot of people know this, but Tabs was supposed to be one of the original hosts on The Great British Baking Show. He was cast as the Paul Hollywood character.
Yeah, we flew over to the UK and spent a few weeks filming the pilot episode. Like, we were literally in the tent.
I think it was week three or four when we found out Tabs had been cast as the main character in the Spider-Cat movie, and it was his chance to fulfill one of his lifelong career dreams to work with Jon Favreau, so we bid adieu to The Great British Baking Show and returned home…
Paul Hollywood stepped into the tent, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Every once in a while, I make one of Tabs’ favorite recipes. This weekend, I busted out his world-famous catnip-infused ? cupcakes, and of course I also made a rustic rosemary catnip loaf in honor of my little bread lover. ?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I have read cats can be carb lovers! They know what’s up. Nice time of year for delicious baking and glad he was on your mind.
Funny! Growing up, I had a dog who loooved bread. Used to call him “the bread dog.” He once ate an entire loaf of freshly-baked bread left within his reach at Thanksgiving. Lol! Such great memories…
I bet his kneading was amazing! And I bet that’s why Paul keeps his goatee silver, for Tabs.
I left a huge loaf of bakery farm bread on the counter, only a few slices gone, a few weeks ago and Hettie ate the WHOLE THING. No crumbs seen. She luckily didn’t have a seizure (she has food allergies that trigger them) but she definitely had a tummy ache.
I was sure he had something french! Gros bisous from France.
Someone like Tabs didn´t need to be Low Carb – a true food connoisseur indeed.
Tabs knew how to enjoy the fine things in life. Like carbs! 🙂 And I can’t blame him for choosing Spider-Cat. Those opportunities are few and far between.
