I can’t believe this! Guess who just called me in a total tizzy. Yup, Tabs. He’s in New York doing a shoot for NYC New York Color (he loves luxury brands but has a soft spot for bargains too). I guess he went out to a pizzeria for dinner that the hotel concierge told him about but must have lost his wallet somewhere along the way, maybe in the cab ride over. So he couldn’t pay for his meal, and the restauranteur was threatening to call the police.
I always get these kinds of calls from Tabs… Part of the job, I guess, of taking care of a diva kitty supermodel. Anywho, Tabs handed his phone to the restaurant owner, a very plainspoken man with a thick Brooklyn accent. I asked him if he had an email address associated with a Paypal account. He did, so I quickly sent off enough money to cover the meal, along with a few extra bucks for the man’s trouble and enough cash to send Tabs back to his hotel in a cab.
That blasted cat is always getting into trouble like this, but what else is new? 🙂
This was a pretty good week as far as his kitty modeling career, though. Here are some of the highlights from his portfolio.
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). 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Oh man, that Toucan Tabby pic is the best yet!
Thanks, babe!

Tabs
Ooh, that MAC Flighty photo is gorgeous!
I relayed his tales (tails?) of woe from his New York adventures and all that you had to go through to bail him out to Missy, and her response was something along the lines of “so, what else could Karen possibly have to do with her time?” Cat solidarity, man!
Missy is one classy kitty. Give her my regards!
Paws up,
Tabs
lmao your cat is so cute and chubby lol I love seeing these adds, he really is quite the star 😀
I like to think of myself as “big-boned.”
Chunky pets need love too,
Tabs
Tabs, you are a real professional, being able to resist the urge to chomp those birds during the MAC Flighty photo shoot! Impressive!
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
Xo,
Tabs
I would totally buy Tab’s nail polishes! Or should they be called claw polishes?
LOL! Claw polishes does have a nice ring to it.
Love ya,
Tabs
Toucan tabby, I love it! This has gotten me thinking…maybe I should put my kitties to work as models. It’s about time they pay for their own cat nip! 😛
It takes years of specialized training… I hope they’re up for it!
Meow,
Tabs
I love tabby cats and toucans so much, I squealed when I saw that one! If there ever actually is a toucan collection, I know I won’t be able to resist!
It’s such a natural fit — tabbies and toucans.
Purrs,

Toucan Tabby is the best! I remember Tabs used to do a nose rouge promo for NYC (or was it NYX?) That one was epic! Glad he did another promo for NYC again 🙂
You know that I love me some drugstore makeup!
XO,
Tabs
Tabs, you are pure gorgeousness! <3
Thanks, lady!
Kisses and purrs,
Tabs
That Lush bar would be a bestseller for sure!
I think so. I’ve never been a paw model before! There’s a first time for everything.
Paws cuuuute
Tabs, I particularly adore your look in Toucan Tabby. How did you manage to channel your inner bird so effectively? Your fellow brown tabbies, Tigger and Gizmo, send their love!
Tiny Paws? If I laugh anymore, my stomach will turn.
