Tabs is like an enigma wrapped in a chubby, fur-covered riddle. I learn something new about him every day. Like, today I found out that he worked on a fishing boat in Alaska one summer to save money for modeling school. 🙂 Who knew?

Here are some other things you may not know about Tabs. He…

If it weren’t for Tabs, I wouldn’t laugh nearly as much. He’s not just my blogging buddy. He’s also a great source of comic relief! 🙂

    It’s so good to see how much your wittle kitteh makes you happy, days don’t seem as bad when something curls up and purrs next to you. I personally couldn’t go a day without the unjudging eyes of my dog. Seeing Tabs makes me miss my Spanky, he looks like a munchkin version of your kitty; he passed in January after suddenly getting sick and was only 9 :-(. I hope to get another cat soon.

    Kitties definitely make the world a happier place to live in. I don’t know what I’d do with out mine. When I was suffering from major depression and had thoughts of hurting myself, the thought that no one could take care of, or spoil, Zeal as well as I could and that I couldn’t let her be taken care of by anyone else stopped me & made me get help. My kitty saved my life, just by being herself.

    The end of January will be 12 years since she came into my life and I’m so grateful she did. She makes me laugh, she snuggles with me so I’m not lonely, she’s smart & behaves well most of the time (she’s a cat, she must misbehave sometimes.. it’s in the rules I think). She is awesome sauce.

      Hi Auroragyps,

      I’m sorry to hear that you’ve gone through some struggles, but glad that your kitty Zeal is there for you.

      When my human cries I like to comfort her too. 🙂

      Love,

    I second tiptoe shortbread, this has just cheered up a rather bleak Monday!

    I *cannot* get enough of his adoring look when you’re scratching his head (or how he’s looking at your boots hahahahah).

    I love cats and suitcases. Mine always get very confused when there are open suitcases in the house (guess they can feel someone’s going to leave); but the last time I went back to visit my parents, I opened my suitcase, took a bag out and went to put it in the kitchen, and when I came back there were already two cats sitting on my clothes and giving me a nasty look because I was clearly about to make them move.. 😀

    By the way, he is the cutest freaking cat evar!

    Every time I read Tabs’ posts, my IQ is reduced to below average. Instead of forming coherent sentences, all I could think of is “Taaaaaaaaaaabs!” And then, I would proceed to hug Belly, pretending he was Tabs, which resulted in him giving me the stank eyes.
