Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 406

tabs-chasing-squirrel-5

If you’re a cat, there’s a lot to see and do on our little oak tree-covered hill. It’s home to a thriving community of turkeys, deer, other cats (some nice, some malcontents), dogs, coyotes, quail, finches, owls, hawks, crows, woodpeckers, raccoons, squirrels, foxes and a rabbit (or two), to name a few.

Tabs sort of administers everything to make sure the community performs at an optimal level, which he likes to do from one of his many perches, like his window shelf in the living room or his outdoor tabby command center.

But sometimes you have to get out there and get your paws dirty to see what’s really going on, which we did today on our walk.

The grass on the hill is all dead and dry right now, but the oak trees are green and action-packed.

Problem is, some of the critters in the area aren’t following proper procedures, like this ne’er–do–well who refused to show Tabs his authorized tree pass.

I’m very confident that Tabs would have fared well during Egyptian times.

He and I were watching Terminator: Genesis yesterday (well, we were trying to, but the movie’s just so bad…), and during one of the time travel scenes, I looked over at Tabs and wondered what would happen if he accidentally stepped into a time machine and ended up in the time of the Pharaohs.

I’m 100% sure that somebody would have put some jewelry on him and stuck him on a gold throne, and he would have been cool with it, because he already thinks he’s being worshipped as it is.

If Tabs has a favorite toy of all, it might be this squeaky little squirrel.

The squeak doesn’t sound anything like a squirrel, and it doesn’t even really look like a squirrel. It’s tiny like a mouse, but Tabs bats it around like he’s playing racquetball with himself!

And every time he taps it, it squeaks.

Sometimes I’ll be upstairs at my desk, and I’ll just hear this constant squeaking coming from downstairs, coupled with the sound of husky tabby paws running and jumping.

Oh-em-gee! I can’t even front! This was a tough week for me because all I could think about at my kitty modeling shoots was the Golden State Warriors. I really hope they win the game tonight.

I’ll be there, of course, court side with my entourage to cheer the team on. Right now I’ve got my assistant in the kitchen preparing my snacks for the game. She’s making tuna fish sliders, turkey jerky and shrimp chips, YUM!

Before I start packing up my Warriors gear and loading the car, here are some of the kitty modeling campaigns I worked on this week.

What up, girl? As you know, I’ve got about a bajillion responsibilities as CFO (Chief Feline Officer) of Tabs the Cat Industries LLC. Plus, there’s my side work with Makeup and Beauty Blog. Plus, there’s my main gig as an internationally acclaimed kitty supermodel. But I feel like I’ve taken on yet another big job raising my protege/little sister, Connor Claire. Needless to say, I’m one busy kitty. Really, really busy.

But I like it that way. I could have spent this weekend sitting by the pool in my Gucci bikini, but I chose to practice some new kitty modeling poses instead.

Calling all adventurers! ‘Tis your fearless leader Tabs. I’ve got an exciting proposition for you. As you know, I like to give back to the community and share my love for kitty modeling through my various philanthropic endeavors, one of which is Camp Catnip, and I’m very excited to announce the start of the new season!

Like we do every year, we’re looking for a few fun, friendly and fabulously motivated felines and humans to help us run our award winning programs.

Camp Catnip holds a very special place in my heart. I started the camp to teach up-and-coming kitty models from underserved communities the skills they need to handle a fast-paced kitty modeling life.

4-0-0!

That’s the magic number. How many years is that…? Four hundred Sundays with Tabs. I’m no mathematician, but I know that’s a lot of years.

Four hundred Sundays where Tabs has made us laugh and cry with joy, and 400 Sundays where he’s bossed us around in his own special kitty way.

I hope you enjoy this very special edition of Sundays with Tabs. 🙂 Here’s to 400 more.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addicts,

Karen, Tabs and Connor Claire

Dear friends and felines,

It’s time to pack up the cooler and the sunscreen, because we’re going to the beach!

Actually, you’re going to the beach. I’ll be going to my beach houses in Ibiza, Miami and Waikiki. Stop by if you’re staying in Kahala, South Beach or Cannes.

I can’t guarantee I’ll be relaxing, because the paparazzi follow me everywhere… Some famous cats pretend that they don’t like having their picture taken, but you know, I’m not gonna lie — I love it. It gives me a chance to show off my fit bod, which, by the way, I’ve been working on for the last month and a half.

I mean, you know I’m always ready to show off these curves, but I want to be extra ready to flaunt it by June. I was given this perfect physique for a reason, and it is my duty to share it with the world.

I’ve been training rigorously to get my tum, my bum and my tail beach ready, and because I’m a cutting edge kitty, I don’t go for old-school exercises. I’ve hired the most forward -thinking personal trainers in the business. One of them, this guy named Teddy, works with Stephen Curry.

Yes, the Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors. Actually, Stephen introduced me to him.
