Okay, I have to get Tabs a new phone, because either he doesn’t know how to use his, or he’s deliberately ignoring me. He’s been on location in Paris for a few days doing his kitty modeling thing while I’ve been stuck here in Novato getting the place ready for Christmas. He was very specific before he left about how we wanted things prepared for his return. Two stockings hung by the tree, fresh catnip sprinkled around his cat tower, two scoops of Fancy Feast tuna in gravy heated to exactly 73 degrees in the microwave, a clean litter box, and a bowl of chilled Evian.
I need to find out when he’s coming back, but I’ve already sent him like 20 unanswered texts!
Who is Tabs the Cat? About three 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). 🙂
Here’s the latest from his portfolio…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Hi Karen,
I read your blog often, but now i am reading it is a study break from my veterinary school finals. Your love of Tabs and all animals helps motivate me, even after i have been studying for about 15 hours a day for at least a month now.
Thanks!
Hi Jessm,
Tabs doesn’t enjoy going to the vet, but he sure does love that they help keep him healthy and happy! 🙂 Yay for all the great vets out there.
What type of animal medicine are you thinking of doing?
FINALLY THE ORIGINS OF TABS !!!
It’s a heartwarming holiday tale, LOL! 🙂
the sonia kashuk ad —- my fave!!!
i just have to say – napoleon and tabs share a similar looking belleehhh – fluffy and made for rubbing!!!
LOL… does it hang low? That’s the true trademark.
yes <333333
The NYX ad is my fave! Love the beach pose Tabs!
You are an angel Karen for saving Tabs.
I feel really lucky to have such a great kitty! Pets really enrich our lives. 🙂
Watcha watching tonight? I feel a whole in my zombie heart without Walking Dead, LOL!
Hahaha me too! I really miss my Zombie fix!
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure was on, so of course I HAD to watch! Something strange is afoot at the Circle-K!
Tabs is the Bomb dot com!
aWwe the hugging one is awesome… thats how i hold my Mahi… who i also rescued as a baby flea infested kitten. i honestly think they appreciate & love us for it, cause ive never had a kitten soo loving & affectionate 🙂 yay for rescuers!!!!!
Aw, I love Tabs as cat collar!
I have a Siamese cat and a white cat, so for a second, I did a double take and thought maybe my cats started modeling w/ Tabs for Sonia Kashuk without telling me. Haha!
Tabs looks like a least furry version of my baby Leonardo (after the ninja turtle, not the actor) they’ve got the same coloring and belly 🙂
awww… i like reading about Tabs.. that’s really great of you to welcome him to your home. Bet Tabs love you so much!
Yes to Catnip would be an instant classic in my house (and a welcome break from Yes to Christmas Tree). 🙂
I LOVE your Tabs series! Haha, they never fail to put a smile on my face. I love the NYX one… but then again, I’m a bronzer fanatic and a beach bunny!
Hope you’re having a fantastic holiday so far!!!
Awww, Tabs is killing me with his cuteness! I love the one where he is hugging you! When I get a chance I will upload pics of my Jazz and Rock n’ Roll onto my blog.
Unbearable cuteness! 🙂 I must say, Tabs really knows how to work the camera..
I don’t usually comment, but this time I have to tell you that “yes to catnip” made my day!!! LOL
I LOL at all your Tabs related posts. Absolutely hilarious. I think this blog is beginning to be my fave. BTW, open thread discussion, my kitty is ok now. After taking him to the vet, he got an injection and some medication and he’s eating and playing and attacking people’s ankles like normal. Or more so. I think he thinks that since we were soooo worried and gave him extra super attention because he was sick he can now boss us around and attack us from under things even more so than usual….
