Sundays without Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, May 17

May 17th, 2009 by Karen 17 Comments

Like the crazy cat mom that I am, I called the Hotel Cattyfornia (such a lovely place) to check on Tabs this morning. The staff tells me he’s having a grand time sunning himself in the windows and staring at the caged birds in the center of the playroom.

I miss my kitty, sigh…

Since I’m suffering from a bad case of the cat mom blues, I’m trying to get some kitty lurving from the strays that live in the condo complex here. A gang of tail-less tabbies has always run the place, but I haven’t seen them around lately. The new kings of the neighborhood may be the two cats that guard the playground out front.

…and this black and white one Peanut.

I like to think Tabs would get along with his Hawaiian brethren!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I can really relate to your cat woes! It’s so hard to be away from them! Cutie Pie and Peanut are adorable!

    Tabs has such a fierce look… designers should take note for Fall Fashion Week!

    Hope everything is fabulous for you and El Hub in paradise! It’s beautiful, wish I was there! 😉

      Hi Glosslizard,

      I really miss Tabs. This has been the worst so far!

      Hopefully Cutie Pie and Peanut will let me get my cat mom on. 🙂

      Thanks again for doing the Benefit guest post! You have the cutest lips!

    Aww I always miss my kitties when I am away form them too. Cutie Pie is especially adorable.

    When I was a kid and in Hawaii, we were away from my cat Precious for 3 weeks and I missed her so much. At the condo we stayed at, there was a mama cat and her kittens that hung out and I used to try to play with them constantly. My mom wouldn’t let me touch them though because they were pretty feral, but OH how I wanted to!

      Hi Vampy Varnish,

      Oh how cute! I am always compelled to get friendly with kittens.

      Precious is a cute name for a cat. Is she still around?

    Aw, how cute! I can relate. The one time I left my kitties in a pet hotel, I burst into tears the minute we got out the door, and I cried all the way out of town! My hubby says, “I’m glad we don’t have kids! What would you be acting like then?” I can’t even imagine!

    Awww that must be hard to leave him when you travel, even though he sounds like hes staying a sweet hotel.

    I just found out I’m going to India for 3 months for a research gig, I don’t know how I’m going to be away from my pup for so long!

    Cutie Pie is totally adorable, by the way – I just want to hug him to death!

    Awww, this is too cute. At least you know Tabs is in good hands & he’ll be back in your arms before you know it. i’m sure he is missing his mommy just as much if not more.

    No, Precious died a long time ago at the ripe old age of 17! She was a great cat (if not lazy as hell and totally not playful):)

    Peanut is my dog’s name. But I had a cat that looked like your “Peanut” named Timothy. He couldn’t meow properly. He sounded like he had laryngitis, bless his heart! I hope you have a great vacation!
