For the longest time, Tabs only had one girl who was madly in love with him.
(Me, obviously.)
But now he has two, and I’m pretty sure he’s thrilled about it.
I don’t know… It’s kind of hard to tell sometimes.
The other day we — Connor, Tabs and I — were just hanging out in the living room, and he walked up to her and let her pet him. Of course, this was done with supervision and lots of “When we pet Tabs, we have to do it gently” kind of talk.
Then, after some pets and some gentle rubs from Connor, Tabs walked up to her and headbutted her face.
It was so cute! My heart felt like it was going to melt in my chest like a piece of chocolate.
I think she loves him as much as I love him.
Whenever she sees him, her eyes light up, and Tabs reciprocates. He walks up to her all the time and sniffs her, and if she has her hand out, he’ll walk up and headbutt her fingers.
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addicts,
Karen, Tabs and Connor Claire

It’s fantastic that they get along so well! It must be beautiful to see the relationship develop. Plus, growing up with a pet teaches Connor so many important behavioral skills.
Rachel says
I think Tabs knows Connor Claire is just a mini-you, aka crazy cat lady!
Chelsea says
I’m glad Connor seems to be an early adopter of feline enthusiasm! So sweet, glad you teach her to be gentle with him.
Shannon says

Ruchita says
This is so sweet! I started tearing up when I read this and saw the pictures. What a beautiful start to the relationship between these two.

Karen, this post is so adorable! Truly heart-melting, especially the 5th picture!! Look at Tab’s face.. Such a cat! 😀 PS: I respect you for not vanishing, but staying yourself after the baby and your blog is (as always) professional! I don’t know if people do realize how much dedication this takes! Girl Power!

Beware if she grows up. My daughter still is madly in love with the cats, but she now expresses her love by running towards them, yelling. Not really appreciated, let me tell you.
Mary says
Love this post!
Kim says
Awww, I’m so glad that Tabs and Connor have hit it off. Supervision and coaching are the keys, as you say, but some pets just avoid small children like the plague. I’m happy that Tabs is not one of them!! 🙂

Oooooh I can feel the feline love all the way on the eastern seaboard!
I cannot imagine how cute the Tabs/Connor headbutt must have been. Video please!
Ester says
Ugh, this is seriously the cutest post!!

Awwwwwww a melty-heart head-butt! I love this post.
Shelley says
Awww so heartwarming to see the head butt. She is a really beautiful little girl. Two wonderful kids to be proud of.
Gina says
I LOVE that Tabs and Conner Claire love each other!!! It is so sweet and I can’t imagine how happy it makes you ❤️❤️
Tatiana says
Aww! So sweet! Tabs seems to be enjoying the pats from Connor Claire just as much as she enjoys giving them. Love the hibiscus print on her outfit. You find the cutest clothes for her.
Pamela Haddad says
Adorable, how her big toe is standing at attention. I think from the photos they do love each other. He even has his whiskers pointing forward, like they do then they are “inviting” someone to pet them. So cute!!
Rachel R. says
This is such a sweet post. I’m so glad Tabs has accepted her and loves her, and that she adores him back.

Hehe, the way you describe that melting feeling… 🙂 So adorable!
Maria says
Such a cute friendship growing between them!
Did Connor get her bangs trimmed? She’s so precious!
Karen says
Hi Maria,
Nah, Connor’s decided to let her hair run wild and free, LOL! She has built in bangs for now, I guess!
