Sundays with Tabs the Cat: Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot

How it all began

How it all beganBefore he was famous
About three years ago I started to notice a chubby tabby cat skulking around my apartment building. I’d see him every few months or so, sneaking around the cars in the parking lot, but whenever I’d try to get his attention, he’d just flash me a dirty look and walk away.

For love and makeupFor love and makeup
Then, one day I opened the apartment door, and there he was, sitting in the hallway in front of me. He must have seen all the makeup inside because he walked passed me into the apartment like he owned the place. And so began our dysfunctional friendship. 🙂

Tabs for the Shu Uemura Whisker CurlerPhotoshop phenom or kitty supermodel?
About a year into our relationship, Tabs and I were cruising the mall when a talent scout stopped us. “Have you ever thought about being a model?” he asked (he was referring to Tabs). That day marked the start of what’s turned out to be a successful kitty modeling career. He also blogs on the side…

Pics and a BIG Giveaway

Welcome to the 100th installment of Sundays with Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot. He’s been my beloved blogging buddy for more than two of the three years we’ve known each other, and I hope our partnership continues forever.

But wait — there’s more! 🙂

To commemorate this special day, Tabs would also like to sponsor a giveaway here on the blog (he’s been saving his modeling money). Check out the pics, and then scroll down to enter.

      Did you know that peeps are alergic not becouse of cat hair but his saliva that gets on fur when cat is licking himself 🙂 ?

    I don’t have any kitties, but we do have 6 chinchillas! The favorite is Mike Jr. (He was given to me by a friend who is a breeder, who named him after the chinny’s dad.) Sadly, Mike Jr. does not have a tail, as he was born breech, and his momma bit it off trying to get him out. It doesn’t stop him from being adorable! He’s a round grey little tubbo, with plenty of personality!

    Isn’t it great when a cat picks you instead of the other way around? My mom’s cat (Bo, short for Mr. Bojangles) had a similar story – he was wandering around the neighborhood shortly before I left for my freshman year in college and I started feeding him because he was starving but sooo friendly. Here it is 8 years later and Bo is totally a part of the family (even my dad who is really allergic to cats loves him, though he will never admit it). My husband and I have three cats of our own that we adopted from our local shelter. They are all girls – maybe one could be Tabs’ girlfriend? : )

    Mmm. I’ve been craving smores with dark chocolate squares and fluffy marshmallows. And I’ve been wearing no makeup at all except for Benefit’s Samba-dy Love Me and a thin line of liquid eyeliner, which is strange for me. I’ve been crushin’ on the pictures of fresh faced French ladies over on The Satorialist. Ooh, and I’d love to see a review of Benefit’s new liquid eyeliner, too.

    That’s all for now!

    PS~ My cat’s name is Gypsy, because I rescued her as a tiny kitty from a gigantic snowbank in a parking lot. Her little tail was frostbitten, and I kept her in my shirt all day. I haven’t been able to get her unattached ever since!

    My boyfriend and I have two cats together. First we got Leonardo then we got Bruce. Both are named after superheroes. Leonardo the ninja turtle and Bruce Wayne of batman fame.
    I consider them my first born children. I love how something so small and furry can instantly brighten my day 🙂

    Very cute kitty … and much more stylish than mine! Her name is the Piglet, so named because she is a PIGLET!!! She was found on my parents’ property, starving, and she fought with my mom’s cat, so the parentals drove her out here (to CA from CO) to live with me. Now she is the opposite of starving. And she has a lot to say, but no blog … yet.

    i have four cats and their names are lucky, karamel, charlie and bella.

    lucky got his name because he was very abused when he was with his first owners and i think he’s “lucky” that we became his owners. we also call him “lucky duck,” or “lukie duke.”

    karamel got his name because he’s caramel-colored, though his is spelled with a “k,” at my dad’s request. we also call him “mellow” and “mellow yellow.”

    charlie got his name because he looks like a charlie. plus, i’m a big fan of the “twilight” books. we also call him “chaaaaaahles” or “bear,” or “charlie the bear” because he’s so big.

    bella (stella) got her name because she’s pretty. plus, my dad knows what a “thing” i have for stars, so he suggested we add the “stella” at the end of her name because “stella” is italian for “star.” also, see “twilight” reference above. lol. we also call her mademoiselle, “bug,” or “bibitte” (french for “bug”) because she’s so little.

    bella and charlie are brother and sister but the others are not related.

    i’m a crazy cat lady too. can you tell? lol

    Congratulations to Tabs on his 100th Sunday! He’s so cute- looks just like my baby (Rascal) who ran away about a year ago. 🙁 Fortunately, our other two cats stayed with us when we moved. Chester is an all white kitty who seems to be schizophrenic. He likes large scary-looking men, laps, and killing birds and small mammals. Cassius is a very pudgy tuxedo cat who is not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree. He enjoys lying on top of open magazines, licking people, and chasing laser beams. They both like sleeping upside down and tripping people on the stairs.

    Wow, sounds like I just wrote a personal for my cats. 😀 I actually tried to polish Chester’s claws once. Didn’t work out so well.

    I like Tabs, because he reminds me of my old cat Kodiak, an old dusty white and tan cat who liked to laze about and look angry. He’s since gone, but now I have two cats I love very much: Blackjack (an old black ham obsessed cat), and Delilah (a mean, little cat who thinks she is the prettiest kitty this side of Cool Town).

    When I was 3 years old, I got a present: a tabby cat, complete with red bow, which promptly scratched me and ran away. We named her Sassy, and I loved her dearly for many years. I hope someday to have another kitty in my life – though perhaps this time without the scratching/running part 😛

    I have such a great story. Also about a former street cat. A few years ago I was renting a small suite in a house and that’s how I met Lily. She was truly lily white and quite independent and feisty even after living for a few years with my landlord’s family. She was always ready to scratch you but I liked her all the same. One late night I was browsing the internet looking for jobs. Lily jumped on the table and she looked like she needed some company. Since I had a few scratches from her I thought I would put on a glove before I started playing with her. I stole me landlord’s work gloves, put them on and played with Lily for a good half hour, letting her exercise her claws and just enjoy herself. She looked so happy and then she did something that totally surprised me. I was sitting low in an office chair and leaning back. Lily climbed on my chest and then wrapped herself around my shoulders and neck like a big, warm, fluffy white fur shawl. She stayed there for a good 20 minutes, purring like crazy all the while. So the feisty former street cat needed and in turn gave affection.

After how many cats, I now have nine dogs! 🙂 Also, I can now tolerate cats ‘coz of the meds I’m taking so I adopted some stray cats as well- Puts in Boots, Candy, and Cookie 🙂

    When I first got my cat, I made the mistake of letting him outside one night. When I went to bring him in, he was nowhere to be found. I searched and searched with no luck. Time passed and I thought he either was gone for sure or worse… dead. After about a month, I was driving home and saw a cat that looked nothing like Malcolm. I jokingly said to my then- boyfriend, now-husband, “Look! There’s Malcolm!”. When we both looked again, right behind that cat WAS Malcolm! I couldn’t believe it. He was so skinny and it look lots of coaxing to get him to come out from where he’d hidden. I was and still am so thankful I found him.

    After 3 years of wearing my hair wavy, I decided to wear it straight. It was a last minute decision, I was getting it permed again on Saturday when after they’d applied the cream to my hair that breaks the chemical bonds in them, I saw my hair straight and I realised I haven’t seen that in a long time. So I decided to ditch the perm for a straightening and figured that if I don’t like it, I’ll just perm it again in a few months. I’m still trying to get used to this look. I look younger but I feel much less sexy! It’s weird how people with wavy hair want stick-straight hair and people with straight hair want wavy hair.

    Loved all the pics! Each one a classic… I personally like the subtle(?) Urban Decay poster.

    My cat Momo was not named after the word meaning peach in Japanese, but rather after the title character of Michael Ende’s book, Momo (orig. in German; he’s the author of Never Ending Story, though the two books are very different in style). In the book, Momo saves the world by reclaiming the “time” people lost to a “time-banking” scam. Sort of a cautionary tale about people not taking time for each other (and ourselves) anymore.

    Hope everyone has a lovely week <3

    I currently have 4 cats living with me- 2 are “ours”, 2 are visiting long term…Bean was named after a characted in the book Ender’s Game, since they were both tiny, down-trodden runts. BTW, Bean turned out to be a Maine coon, so he’s now the size of a raccoon!

    Poe wad found stuck in a hole in our wall, and so was named after the macabe author who used this device.

    My visitors just arrived a few weeks ago, and have caused plenty of confusion in the household with their names. One is ‘Bea’, the other Lily- which also happens to be my 2 1/2 year old daughter’s name!

She’s currently investigating a box my parents sent me some books in, because it has Smells and is apparently highly relevant to her interests. Unfortunately for her, fifteen pound yard long cats don’t fit into the medium size pack-and-ship box that the Post Office sells.

    Hi Karen! What a fun giveaway and I love Tabs!! Tabs has the best taste, I would love to share a beauty closet with “her”, she has all the goods!!

    I am actually cat sitting for my two favorite kitties, Fifi and Charkey. They are not liking me too much, they are spoiled by their real mother, my friend, who is on a week’s vacation and the cats basically want nothing to do with me……I feed them all their favorite foods, and still they show me no love, I am hoping in a few days they will warm up to me more cuz I adore cats, actually all pets!

    We have 2 dogs, Max and Lucy, our black labs and I am so used to their constant interaction it’s hard when Fifi and Charkey don’t want me to pet them, etc……

    Maybe if I bring over some MAC and Smashbox products they will warm up to me, hey, now there’s an idea, they are definitely diva-licious!!

    Thanks so much for the chance to enter. I’m also following you on twitter and tweeting, I’m @joannaonthelake

As in, she’d get on your lap, make herself comfortable, and proceed to yell at you, in that particular shrill Siamese voice, if you dared to move before she was ready to get up.

    I’ve been following this blog religiously for about a month now, but have never left a comment until now. Tabs is the most gorgeous kitty I have ever seen, and should get mega props for his modeling talent!
    My own tabby, Oscar DeVito King of Denmark, was named so creatively because my father wanted to name a cat Oscar, but I insisted that he was more of a Denmark. His previous owners (he was a shelter kitty) named him Vito, so we tacked that on in a more elegant form. Tabby love! <3

Here in PI, people say that when a male cats have 3 colors, then its very unusual and should be considered lucky, hence the name..

A few weeks after moving into my current place, I saw a stripped kitty that looks a lot like Tabs walking around in the parking lot. I pet him and gave him toast with butter. That was more than a year and a half ago. Now, Belly and I are going strong thanks to you and Tabs.

    It literally always makes my day when i see Tabs posing he is sooooo cute!! I just want to climb through the computer screen and pet him all day long. If i could i would take him on a shopping spree and to a masseuse. Best kitty ever besides my three darling cats 🙂

    Tabs is so much like my cat Links! =)

    Tabby is such a handsome boy :).

    Makes me miss my own doggie boy, who sadly passed away few months ago.

    I have three cats: Lex, Loki, and Vladimir. Loki was named because he’s mischievous, Lex because my sister liked the way it sounded, and Vladimir because I think he looks like he belongs in Russia with his pretty long fur and icy blue eyes.

    It’s great that you made this contest, it’s going to be great 😀
    I love Tabs, you’re little commercial pictures make me smile everytime I see them.
    Sadly, I don’t have any animal, but my mom is allergic to cats and we don’t have space for a dog… But when Im older Im definitely getting a cat 🙂
    I love the Venomous Villains collection, and I don’t have a lot of mac so I will splurge on this collection!

    I have a dapper, handsome little poodle named after the quintessential man… Mr. Darcy. Gotta love Pride and Prejudice!!!! And Tabs is such a little cutie, I’m loving his look in the Dior Lace ad campaign. =)

    Tabs is such a gorgeous cat, I have two cats myself (Pixel and Gizmo) and I couldn’t imagine living without them =) Thanks for the story on how you and Tabs got to know each other, I really enjoyed reading it!

    Happy 100th Sunday with Tabs! I adore this cat. I had a grey kitten two years ago, but sadly I’ve had to leave her behind for college!

    I just love how you find such creative ways to express your love for your kitty! Do you photoshop all these yourself? I would love to do something like that for my cat ichigo!
