How it all began
Before he was famous
About three years ago I started to notice a chubby tabby cat skulking around my apartment building. I’d see him every few months or so, sneaking around the cars in the parking lot, but whenever I’d try to get his attention, he’d just flash me a dirty look and walk away.
For love and makeup
Then, one day I opened the apartment door, and there he was, sitting in the hallway in front of me. He must have seen all the makeup inside because he walked passed me into the apartment like he owned the place. And so began our dysfunctional friendship. 🙂
Photoshop phenom or kitty supermodel?
About a year into our relationship, Tabs and I were cruising the mall when a talent scout stopped us. “Have you ever thought about being a model?” he asked (he was referring to Tabs). That day marked the start of what’s turned out to be a successful kitty modeling career. He also blogs on the side…
Pics and a BIG Giveaway
Welcome to the 100th installment of Sundays with Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot. He’s been my beloved blogging buddy for more than two of the three years we’ve known each other, and I hope our partnership continues forever.
While Tabs is proud of his entire modeling portfolio, here are his top 15 favorite shoots of all time.
But wait — there’s more! 🙂
To commemorate this special day, Tabs would also like to sponsor a giveaway here on the blog (he’s been saving his modeling money). Check out the pics, and then scroll down to enter.

Erynn says
I love Tabs because he is FIERCE! And chubby :3 My cat, Muffin, looks just like Tabs. I’m just waiting for her to get fat so she can’t run away from me all the time. Then maybe she’ll be more willing to be a model for me 😉
Stephanie says
I picked out my bunnies names based on the beatles. I had Lennon & Ringo. Sadly, Lennon died. No, the bunny lennon! So then I had to get George. The funniest rabbit you’re ever gonna meet!
ace says
i have a kitty that looks like a really skinny version of tabs!! 😀

RonyaLii says
you should watch 101 cats (animal planet)
i remember they showed cat , whos best for alergic people and he was so fluffy and cute ^^ . But i dont remember which one that was, so you need to find full series and watche them all( theres not so many, so its ok)
Did you know that peeps are alergic not becouse of cat hair but his saliva that gets on fur when cat is licking himself 🙂 ?
Teresa says
I love kittens!
tuppup says
I’d love to have an extra $100 to spend!
Stephanie says
I rescued my kitty from the SF care and control. I went to the shelter wanting to adopt a kitten, but got my heart stolen by a fully grown, 3 year old, dainty little grey tabby with a white tummy and white “socks.” 😀
elizabeth says
I love tabs’ pictures! Fantastic model.
Rachel Estes says
I have two kitties. One is named Cinidi-Loo Who and the other is Tonks. Can you guess where we got those from? They too wiggled their way into my heart even though I always said that I liked dogs better. Now I can’t imagine life without them!!!
Rica says
I always love the artwork that you created with tabs. They’re so fun and entertaining. Tabs is a great model!

Nina says
Tabs is a very very charismatic cat for me, he is really handsome and all, yes, but he’s more than that, you know. He has an attitude 😀 I think I love him because of this. Considering I’m a dog person, this is saying a lot. And happy 100th! I’m wishing you two many more Sundays together! 🙂
Katrina says
Tabs is such a nice looking cat, so welled groomed and so photogenic! He needs to give my kitty some photo tips!
christine says
Love your portfolio Tabs! Congratulations on your 100th! Can’t wait to see you next week..
Heather W. says
I plan on getting a cute siamese cat (not the thin ones, the fluffy ones). I always think that they look like cream cats dipped a little in chocolate.
KarenW says
I started reading Makeup and Beauty Blog largely because my name is also Karen and I have a tabby cat who is a dead ringer for Tabs. His name is Phinney, but his modeling career hasn’t taken off yet. Perhaps Tabs has a lock on the large-boned tabby look?
Sara says
My dog’s name is Kelly! I’m moving out for college tomorrow and I’m going to miss her a lot 🙁
Brody says
My two kitties, Cleo and Sophie, have major crushes on Tabs! They read his posts religiously. 😉
shannon says
I’m so excited for the mac venomous villains collection! Everything looks so good I can hardly wait until I get the chance to see it in person .
Lori Stewart says
Awwww, Tabs is so photogenic – I think I like Wet ‘n’ Wild wet nose the best!
Maple says
Wow! what an awesome giveaway!
Jenny says
Wow, another generous giveaway!
Never had a cat (or a dog) but I love rats! They’re cute and intelligent and don’t ruin carpets! Haha.
Brittany says
Karen!
I love you AND Tabs!
He is so precious and my guilty pleasure is secretly snickering at the cute modeling shoots Tabs does. In fact right now my boyfriend just asked what are you laughing at? (showed him the Pret a Papier a la Tabs pic) and he busted out laughing!
Thanks for always tickling my makeup fancy & my funny bone <3
🙂
Myrlene says
I had once a kitten named Mickey…
Sharon says
Congrats!! Tabs seems like the coolest cat ever!
Alex says
Tabs is such a good looking cat. I wish I could get a cat, but my dad is allergic.
Instead, I have two parakeets and a chinchilla. My birds are named Snowy and Cricket, and my Chinchilla is named Mouse.
Debbie says
Haha, I love the iTabs picture! I hadn’t seen that one before, so cute!!!
ALYSE says
I love you blog so much and as my bf wont let me have a cat i get my fix from tab’s cute photo shoots!
Emily Perrine says
I absolutley LOVE the pictures that you do with your cat! I should so post some of my kitty pics at some point…I get the feeling you may like cats. =) My cat plays fetch like a dog and sits like a person…she’s a funny one. =) And so ends my entry. =)
Shannon says
I have 2 dogs & a cat – our cat got his name “Bandit” because he has an eye mask sort of like an old fashioned bandit…however, I call him L.B. or “Lil B*st*rd” because he has such attitude LOL Winning this prize would buy a lot of cat treats for him! 🙂 Good luck everyone
Stacey says
I have a long haired chihuahua mix named Giggy-short for Fizzgig. I love cats but am so allergic. Giggy sure isn’t like a cat, even though he’s the size of one.
Masi says
I LOVE TABS!!!!!!!! I look forward to reading your blog everyday just to see the new pictures of Tabby.
Sarah says
I just had Thai food for dinner! Yum!
Elaine says
I am actually wearing a shirt with two kitties, that are wearing oversized sunglasses and sitting on skateboards. what a coincidence!
this one!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sourskittled/4007751132/
Lori says
aww, what a cute cat
Michelle says
It’s funny that so many people say they want to have cats but can’t because they are allergic. My whole family’s allergic but we have two! 😛
Janine says
I don’t have any kitties, but we do have 6 chinchillas! The favorite is Mike Jr. (He was given to me by a friend who is a breeder, who named him after the chinny’s dad.) Sadly, Mike Jr. does not have a tail, as he was born breech, and his momma bit it off trying to get him out. It doesn’t stop him from being adorable! He’s a round grey little tubbo, with plenty of personality!
Taylor says
My three kitties: Patches, Homer, and Salem, would love to be best friends with Tabs and conquer the world!
Twetriz says
This is just to cute! Tabs is hip 🙂
Lily says
hi Tabby 🙂
Stephanie says
Tabs isn’t chubby… just big boned.
regina says
Isn’t it great when a cat picks you instead of the other way around? My mom’s cat (Bo, short for Mr. Bojangles) had a similar story – he was wandering around the neighborhood shortly before I left for my freshman year in college and I started feeding him because he was starving but sooo friendly. Here it is 8 years later and Bo is totally a part of the family (even my dad who is really allergic to cats loves him, though he will never admit it). My husband and I have three cats of our own that we adopted from our local shelter. They are all girls – maybe one could be Tabs’ girlfriend? : )
JooAh says
i love tab’s burberry ad!! Its so cute!
Lindsay says
Thanks for the contest Tabs!
Brenda says
Tabs is the coolest cat EVER!
Courtney says
I like Tabs because he is a Fabulous Feline! He wears his makeup and fashion so effortlessly. I have cats too and they are very fashionable animals. Why else do we have the “cat eye”, “cat wing” and all the cat print clothing!
AshBash says
$100 may fund my new hair look OR it could sponsor my venemous villians haul. what if i did the responsible thing and bought a textbook? naw… really hope i win!!!!
Glosslizard says
I’d have to comment even if there wasn’t a contest involved! Me and my furry girls are all big fans of Tabs (Haay from P-Lily, Sama and Nefret)! Congrats to you and Tabs on your successful collaboration, and on making it to the 100th Sundays With Tabs post!
You’ve come a long way, tabby!
😀
Rai says
Adorable cat!
Rachel says
I’m having a great day at work today!
Lindsay says
Aww I love how Tab’s picked you as his owner 🙂
Megan says
I once had a cat that looked just like Tabs. But she got outside one day and ran away. :'(
Danielle says
I like Tabs because he reminds me of my first cat Mittens.
Saman says
I want a cat. As soon as I move out of here I am getting a little kitty of my own. I already have a name him/her!!!
Saman says
Oops. Typo! ^ I already have a name for him/her!!!
Kristen says
There is a cat that looks just like Tabs that is always in my yard. Im thinking of just adoption him/her and making them feel at home

Tabs has such a great face. I have a cat too—he kind of reminds me of Tabs!
Julianne says
tabs is so fab!!
Storm says
My dog is named Peaches because of her coloring. I wanted to name her Puddles, but they wouldn’t let me. We also had a dog named Shelby after the Mustang motor!
Agnes says
I am going on cruise on the 28th and am sooooooo excited for it!! 😀
Katelyn says
Tabs is a cute kitty!
Kate says
Karen, you are just the SWEETEST! Man, $100 goes a long way – I’m seeing the MAC VV polishes in my future if I win!
Christina says
I had a cat growing up, her name was extremely original. Her name was….(get ready for it)…Kitty lol 😉
Lynette says
Anything at all, eh?
Mmm. I’ve been craving smores with dark chocolate squares and fluffy marshmallows. And I’ve been wearing no makeup at all except for Benefit’s Samba-dy Love Me and a thin line of liquid eyeliner, which is strange for me. I’ve been crushin’ on the pictures of fresh faced French ladies over on The Satorialist. Ooh, and I’d love to see a review of Benefit’s new liquid eyeliner, too.
That’s all for now!
PS~ My cat’s name is Gypsy, because I rescued her as a tiny kitty from a gigantic snowbank in a parking lot. Her little tail was frostbitten, and I kept her in my shirt all day. I haven’t been able to get her unattached ever since!
Steph says
Lovely portfolio! I’m recovering from my path of self-destruction through shopping which resulted in my sisters and parents taking away my cards… this would help. a lot.
xoxo
pinksoysauce says
I want my own kitty supermodel!

Wendy says
Hi Karen – I waited all week for #100 and you and Tabs didn’t disappoint!! Love the photoshoots – my favs are MAC Colour Craft and Mac Pretapaper – you and Tabs are a great team!! Love it!!!! Have a great night!
Courtney says
My boyfriend and I have two cats together. First we got Leonardo then we got Bruce. Both are named after superheroes. Leonardo the ninja turtle and Bruce Wayne of batman fame.
I consider them my first born children. I love how something so small and furry can instantly brighten my day 🙂
quimerula says
Azazel is my male black cat, and Sibila is my grey tabby female. I can’t imagine my life without them. Right now I’m typing this on my laptop and Azazel is sleeping at my side. Purrfection!
Dawn says
Happy 100th Anniversary!! I would love to have a cat as stylish as Tabs.
brookelet says
Very cute kitty … and much more stylish than mine! Her name is the Piglet, so named because she is a PIGLET!!! She was found on my parents’ property, starving, and she fought with my mom’s cat, so the parentals drove her out here (to CA from CO) to live with me. Now she is the opposite of starving. And she has a lot to say, but no blog … yet.
Cecille says
I adore my puppy Clyde! He had a full day of romping at the beach today!!
nora says
My bf’s puppy dog has learned how to knock on the door when he wants to come in our room. Well he’s not really a puppy anymore, but he’ll always be a puppy to me!
LauraJ says
I have a kitty, Duchess, and she always makes sure I know she’s around. She came with her name (got her from a kitty rescue in Davis, CA, 7 years ago), but at least she answers to it when I call her inside at night.
Emily says
awww tabs!!! congrats on #100!!!
Alix says
Love this classic pix of Tabs! As well as your epic post today on the Venomous Villains collection… dang, I got my eye on some of those polishes!
Resha says
i’ve slept most of the day, the rain is way too relaxing and there’s mascara gunk in my eye that i’m too lazy to remove 🙁 anyway, happy 100th babe!!!
Gen says
i have four cats and their names are lucky, karamel, charlie and bella.
lucky got his name because he was very abused when he was with his first owners and i think he’s “lucky” that we became his owners. we also call him “lucky duck,” or “lukie duke.”
karamel got his name because he’s caramel-colored, though his is spelled with a “k,” at my dad’s request. we also call him “mellow” and “mellow yellow.”
charlie got his name because he looks like a charlie. plus, i’m a big fan of the “twilight” books. we also call him “chaaaaaahles” or “bear,” or “charlie the bear” because he’s so big.
bella (stella) got her name because she’s pretty. plus, my dad knows what a “thing” i have for stars, so he suggested we add the “stella” at the end of her name because “stella” is italian for “star.” also, see “twilight” reference above. lol. we also call her mademoiselle, “bug,” or “bibitte” (french for “bug”) because she’s so little.
bella and charlie are brother and sister but the others are not related.
i’m a crazy cat lady too. can you tell? lol
Ellie says
Congratulations to Tabs on his 100th Sunday! He’s so cute- looks just like my baby (Rascal) who ran away about a year ago. 🙁 Fortunately, our other two cats stayed with us when we moved. Chester is an all white kitty who seems to be schizophrenic. He likes large scary-looking men, laps, and killing birds and small mammals. Cassius is a very pudgy tuxedo cat who is not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree. He enjoys lying on top of open magazines, licking people, and chasing laser beams. They both like sleeping upside down and tripping people on the stairs.
Wow, sounds like I just wrote a personal for my cats. 😀 I actually tried to polish Chester’s claws once. Didn’t work out so well.
Amber says
Hehehehe I love the Tabs photos above! Too cute. I had an adorable little doggie named Buttercup, she looked like a peanut butter cup minus the chocolate, hence the name 😉 I miss her to pieces, she was so playful, thus began my love of doggies, cats, and other little animals. Thanks for the lovely giveaway Karen, this would be so so awesome to win! Ask Tabs to do a little goodluck purr on my comment for me!
Suji says
Happy 100th post to you & Tabs the cat! My kitty is a domestic long hair with grey and white fur, and he’s named after Gandalf from Lord of the Rings 🙂
Janelle says
I’m entering my senior year at Yale and I’m so anxious….oh and I’m taking the MCAT on Friday…eeep!! :/
Rachael says
Good luck on your test girl.
Tiffany says
Give Tabs belly rubs for me!
LolaAM says
Tabs is fab for this!!! I don’t have any pets, my shirt is black, and I had an unhealthy meal of Penn Station today!
Rachael says
My kitty is named Indie, and she pretty much picked it out herself. I was watching all the Indiana Jones movies with my brother the night I got her, she would perk up every time someone would say “Indy.” Plus she’s such a diva that she has her own theme song lol.
Morgan says
I go back to school tomorrow! Eep!
Danbi says

CurlyKye says
I walked up to a lady selling a Pom-a-Poo & a Shitzu. Orignally wanting the tan & brown Shitzu I ask “How old are they?” She goes well the Shitzu was born on (insert date here) and the Pom-a-Poo was born on Dec. 7th. MY BDAY! Pom-a-Poo it is….I love my Melo!

Kylie says
My cat’s name is Sasha. While he’s male, he is a diva- comparable to Ms. Sasha Fierce, Beyonce! He and Tabs could model together 🙂
Christina says
I remember following way back when you first started getting to know Tabs and he’s all grown up and being fierce now!

Karen says

Stephanie! says
My cats B.A. & Murdock (yeah thats right 😉 ) are huge fans of Tabs! They have only been following your blog for a short while, but they think your blog is the best of the bunch (so they told me) Every time I open one of your blogposts, they near knock me off my chair, trying to get a peek at some new hot Tabby photo’s.
And I quite like your blog as well!! Keep up the good work Karen!

Sam says
Tabs is workin’ it… when we adopted my dog Brie, she was already named… in honor of her previous owner’s favorite cheese. i know.
Pinch says
I named my dog Pixel – ’cause she’s very small! I thought if ever I got another dog, it would be called Vector – but I can’t fit a huge dog in my apartment, so I dunno 🙂
Hyejeong says
I love your blog and Tabs. I basically hang on your every word. 🙂 I know. Cereeepy. But your blog has done this to me!

Kelsey says
I’m sitting on the couch, with my favorite fuzzy green blanket draped across my legs, laptop on my lap, surfing nail polish and beauty blogs. My one cat is stretched out next to me, getting her belly rubbed, while the other is sleeping on top of his scratching pad in the corner. Life is good. 🙂

What I like about Tabs is the fact he’s a wee cutie tubba, I have one over and one underweight cat and I loooooooooove both of them to death. It’s nice to see a fellow crazy cat lady 🙂
Jill H says
Cute and entertaining article. Thanks for the giveaway Tabs!
RonyaLii says
I love Tabs, couse hes tabby. never saw tabby with bad personality.
Hey, Tabs, thanks for giveaway chance and paws up for making it international ! ^^
tiptoe shortbread says
Just loooove Tabs, think he’s be perfect for my kitty Tiger who also has a modelling career and is looking for love…..
Bonnie says
I had dim sum for lunch, and while I like dim sum, I haven’t been up for it lately. When someone else is in charge of choosing, though, what can you say?
Marc Martinez says
Tabs should really take over for Tyra on Top Model, or at least co-host!
Vivian says
i love that tabs looks exactly like my boyfriends’ cat!
Andrea says
I adore Tabs! He always looks so fierce in his ‘shoots!
yumi says
i wish i wasnt allergic to cats. and dogs. and rabbits. and all things cute and fuzzy 🙁
Heather says
Congrats on 100 blog entries, Tabs! I love his modeling shots; they really bring a smile onto my face on those not-so-fun Sunday mornings 🙂 I think my favorite is the Shu Uemura ad – whiskers that are curled to perfection! LOL
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
Courtney L says
Thanks for doing this Tabs! Fingers crossed.
Lucy says
I like Tabs, because he reminds me of my old cat Kodiak, an old dusty white and tan cat who liked to laze about and look angry. He’s since gone, but now I have two cats I love very much: Blackjack (an old black ham obsessed cat), and Delilah (a mean, little cat who thinks she is the prettiest kitty this side of Cool Town).
Kacey says
When I was 3 years old, I got a present: a tabby cat, complete with red bow, which promptly scratched me and ran away. We named her Sassy, and I loved her dearly for many years. I hope someday to have another kitty in my life – though perhaps this time without the scratching/running part 😛
Elizabeth says
I love Tabs in part because he bears a resemblance to the tabby cat I grew up with. He passed a few years ago now and I still miss him, but the pics of Tabs always brighten my day. 🙂
Marcy says
I don’t have a cat, but my partner’s cat (who lives with his parents) is called Mouse. People always go ‘huh’ when I talk about Mouse… it’s a good trick for some lol.
My Lips But Better says
I love kitties!
Mic says
Tabs is the OG feline supermodel.
“Tabby Tabby Tabby, can’t you see
Sometimes your words just hypnotize me
And I just love your flashy ways
Guess that’s why they broke, and you’re so paid”
haha
Carolina says
Haha…if there was a like button I’d press it! Who knew something so little as a cat in a wig could brighten the day so much 😀
aniko says
I have such a great story. Also about a former street cat. A few years ago I was renting a small suite in a house and that’s how I met Lily. She was truly lily white and quite independent and feisty even after living for a few years with my landlord’s family. She was always ready to scratch you but I liked her all the same. One late night I was browsing the internet looking for jobs. Lily jumped on the table and she looked like she needed some company. Since I had a few scratches from her I thought I would put on a glove before I started playing with her. I stole me landlord’s work gloves, put them on and played with Lily for a good half hour, letting her exercise her claws and just enjoy herself. She looked so happy and then she did something that totally surprised me. I was sitting low in an office chair and leaning back. Lily climbed on my chest and then wrapped herself around my shoulders and neck like a big, warm, fluffy white fur shawl. She stayed there for a good 20 minutes, purring like crazy all the while. So the feisty former street cat needed and in turn gave affection.

Yanna says
I found your blog a couple of months ago, because of another beauty blog in the netherlands.
Ever since I saw your cute pictures of Tabs *running this place*; I am hooked!
I love cats with an *whatizulookin’at* attitude, haha!:D
At home (in Belgium) I have 5 cats; one of them is called *Tinkerbell*, and yezzz, she is just as badass as the one in peter pan:D
Great Blogging and continue the good work!
Lots of Love <3

Not only we were forced to sleep in the living room for the last two days (the air conditioner upstairs broke down), now neraly the enrite city’s power got shut off! Sometimes you just have to rush over to grandma’s house.
34 C! It feels easily like 40 C! (Israel, BTW).
I Love your blog! I look it up on google about three times a day and make sure I hadn’t missed a post.
Valentina says
I love tabs! I have one too 😉
RVAfashionista says
Wow, Tabs is being quite generous – it would be totally awesome if I won because I’m job hunting and I could use the extra $$$. I miss having my two kittens Olive & Feta… When I moved out of my old house, my roomie kept the cats. 🙁
Joy says
I am a major pet lover 😀 Cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, fish… My very first pet was a cat and that was when I was still in first grade hahaha 🙂 Unfortunately when I was in high school my doctor said I developed hypersensitivity of some sort to cats = MAJOR SNEEZING, RUNNY EYES & NOSE which lasts for days. After how many cats, I now have nine dogs! 🙂 Also, I can now tolerate cats ‘coz of the meds I’m taking so I adopted some stray cats as well- Puts in Boots, Candy, and Cookie 🙂
Blair says
Tabs is adorable!
I have a Marie Aristocats keychain, and she even gets her own seat when I fly (only happens when the plane is empty-ish hahaha) or else she stays inside my bag.
K says
This past weekend, I moved my blog to a new domain. It was a pain, considering everything else (twitter, gmail, etc) also needed to be moved! Oh well, now I’ve got a name!
Natasha Heines says
My roomie has a cat that looks a lot like Tabs. Both of them are such handsome boys!
Amina says
I’m kinda hungry with the ramadan and everything.. But Tabs is a nice distraction, I luuuuuv that kittay!! Can I borrow??
Andreea says
This is a crazy competition! Thank you Tabs for entering Karens life. You are the best DIOR model ever!!
G says
There is nothing like the unconditional love you receive from a cat – I love my kitty & all the ones that are in kitty heaven.
LSJ92 says
My cat scratched me yesterda 🙁 We were playing and a bee came close… cat wanted to catch it and my poor finger got in the way.
Advah says
Fantastic competition, and I have to comment on Tabs of course. 🙂 Great name, great colours, and great cat! Please keep posting plenty of pictures of him, I miss my 3 cats (at my parents’ house) very badly and reading your blog makes it even more comforting than if there were only photos of makeup..
Clara says
I understand totally your devotion to Tabs. I was never a pet person until my husband persuaded me to get a puppy. Now I’m just like one of the people I used to make fun of! I can’t imagine life without him. Thanks so much for this terrific giveaway!
Kerry says
I can’t wait until I can have a Tabs of my own! I almost adopted a stray neighborhood kitty until the fiance said no. 🙁 Oh well, I can’t save them all, I guess!
Shelby says
I cat sat for my friend while she was on vacation and Nixie and my Toula (my dog) had it out the first few days!!! The were driving me nuts!!!! Fortunately for me, they became fast friends and Toula was sad to see Nixie go 🙁 ….awwwwwwwws….
Marissa says
Monday morning stinks!
Kymberlee says
When I first got my cat, I made the mistake of letting him outside one night. When I went to bring him in, he was nowhere to be found. I searched and searched with no luck. Time passed and I thought he either was gone for sure or worse… dead. After about a month, I was driving home and saw a cat that looked nothing like Malcolm. I jokingly said to my then- boyfriend, now-husband, “Look! There’s Malcolm!”. When we both looked again, right behind that cat WAS Malcolm! I couldn’t believe it. He was so skinny and it look lots of coaxing to get him to come out from where he’d hidden. I was and still am so thankful I found him.
YadiQ says
Yay tabs congrats !!
My kitty at home is named jasmine she was named by my stepdaughter after her favorite bratz doll
My cat back home with my parents is named diva when we saw her at the north shore animal league all she did was meow at us and we were like awww she’s a little diva and diva she remained!!!
Ada says
Hi Tabs and Karen! My cat is named Squirt. When we first got him as a 2 month old, he would just sit on the dark carpet and we couldn’t see him. When we tried to pick him up, he would just ‘squirt’ away, hence the name.
Nina says
I love Tabs because I am a crazy cat lady. 🙂
bisbee says
My cats would LOVE to follow in Tabs’ pawprints…but their Mom isn’t as talented as you!
They send their best wishes to Tabs:
We love you Tabs!

Sylvie says
After 3 years of wearing my hair wavy, I decided to wear it straight. It was a last minute decision, I was getting it permed again on Saturday when after they’d applied the cream to my hair that breaks the chemical bonds in them, I saw my hair straight and I realised I haven’t seen that in a long time. So I decided to ditch the perm for a straightening and figured that if I don’t like it, I’ll just perm it again in a few months. I’m still trying to get used to this look. I look younger but I feel much less sexy! It’s weird how people with wavy hair want stick-straight hair and people with straight hair want wavy hair.
Jayme says
I absolutely love these posts about tabs.
As for my cat, i named him rigby. I actually had the name picked out before i even had the cat
Katherine says
I love the Tabs posts, they crack me up. My cat is named Leo; it just seemed to fit.
Paula says
I just adore how Tabs has incorporated you into his quest for kitty modeling domination. Thanks so much for sharing his trip with us. 🙂
Rachel says
I have a boxer named Isabella – no, I did not name her after Bella Swan from Twilight 🙂
gio says
What a generous giveaway!
I love Tabs, he’s so cute and photogenic.
Liz G. says
I think your spin on Tabs the supermodel is some of the most original and entertaining work i have ever seen. I love cats but since my husband is allergic we haven’t been able to have another cat since my best buddy, Moofie, died 12 years ago. Keep showing off Tabs in various advertising pics because they are great!
Melissa W. says
I love Tabs! He is so cute. My pug’s name is Captain Bosco Smushface “The Annihilator.”
Jessica says
I had a friends 9 year old over and while I was reading your blog she caught a glimps of a picture of Tabs. Being an animal lover she asked me to show her more, pretty soon she was laughing and awwwing at all your ‘Sundays with Tabs’ posts. We both laughed untill our stomachs hurt!

Ahh, say congratulations to that sexy tabby of yours from me for his 100th post! I do admire his blogging style 😉
Mindy says
My cat is named after Io a lover of the greek god Zeus. The same name as the bright orange Galilean moon of Jupiter, rather appropriate as she is an orange tabby.
btw, loved the tricky tabby lashes, Tabs is a great model
Amie says
I just want to say that Tabs is quite beautiful and very photogenic. I especially love his Pret a Papier look. My own kitties are rather jealous…
Nicole says
Aww, Tabs!
melissa says
wow, i could really use $100!!
Aya says
Loved all the pics! Each one a classic… I personally like the subtle(?) Urban Decay poster.
My cat Momo was not named after the word meaning peach in Japanese, but rather after the title character of Michael Ende’s book, Momo (orig. in German; he’s the author of Never Ending Story, though the two books are very different in style). In the book, Momo saves the world by reclaiming the “time” people lost to a “time-banking” scam. Sort of a cautionary tale about people not taking time for each other (and ourselves) anymore.
Hope everyone has a lovely week <3
Jessica Allison says
I currently have 4 cats living with me- 2 are “ours”, 2 are visiting long term…Bean was named after a characted in the book Ender’s Game, since they were both tiny, down-trodden runts. BTW, Bean turned out to be a Maine coon, so he’s now the size of a raccoon!
Poe wad found stuck in a hole in our wall, and so was named after the macabe author who used this device.
My visitors just arrived a few weeks ago, and have caused plenty of confusion in the household with their names. One is ‘Bea’, the other Lily- which also happens to be my 2 1/2 year old daughter’s name!
Ana V says
Hi Karen,
Thanks for opening this up to international babes! You cat Tabs reminds me of my boyfriends cat, Killer. I bet if they met they would be best buds!
Phyrra says
Your cat is so adorable in all the photoshoots you put together for him 🙂

What I like about Tabs is that he always looks like he´s cooperating 100% in photoshoots, sleeping or not;) “sure, put stuff on me while I dream of catnip heaven” 🙂
Alexandria says
The bond between you and Tabs is so heartwarming.
Samantha says
Tabs is such a cutie

Hi there! I stumbled across your blog a while ago while looking for makeup and beauty junkies just like me! I love reading your reviews, and you have a wicked sense of humour!
I also am very impressed with your photoshop abilities, I can’t believe how you get Tabs into these faux print ads…awesome!
Happy giveaway!
Gen says
Such a cute story how you guys met! I love that first picture of Tabs!

Love his posts. Last cat I had was named for her white paws. White Sox. Tricky, huh?
Amy says

Thanks for sharing Tabs’ many talents and looks 🙂 I take TONS of photos of my dog, so I can imagine how many shots are taken at a photoshot for his print ads!
luv2smilexo says
my dad has a chihuahua named maverick after top gun. He calls him his wing man because he follows him around. its pretty cute 🙂
zoeykim18 says
Tabs you are the best kitteh ever! So photogenic! Just like ur mommy! =D Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
Carol K. says
I have a gunmetal grey (except for a white heart on her chest) Behemoth Cat named Pantha that’s about the same size as your Tabs. She’s currently investigating a box my parents sent me some books in, because it has Smells and is apparently highly relevant to her interests. Unfortunately for her, fifteen pound yard long cats don’t fit into the medium size pack-and-ship box that the Post Office sells.
Supriya says
I went to Dallas this weekend for my cousin’s engagement!!
Jessica says
Tabs is so cute. I love all the pictures for the post. So cute!! 😀
lo says
So cute! Tabbies are my favorite… there was such a cute little adoptable ginger I wish I could have scooped up and taken home! But my dog would HATE that. His name is Caesar; we were just throwing around names when we got him, and that one just stuck.
Basak says
Tabs is adorable and charismatic at the same time. Also like many ladies i have a thing for cool guys like Tabs 🙂
Erin Ausman says
I love your kitty and your blog! Thanks for bringing some sunshine into my workdays!

At the moment, I’m wearing a funky abstract-desgin Tshirt with an image of a skinny lady gazing at the sun. You’d have to see it to understand it. Its my “need to lose weight” motivational Tshirt 🙂
JillyB says
I have 3 cats, including 2 tabbies. One’s named Buddy and he looks a lot like Tabs. The other is a tabby/Maine Coon mix named Lucy. And my old lady cat – 16 years old- is all white and named Snowball. My hubby says no more cats. 😉
Cindy (Prime Beauty) says
My cats name is Sadie–she is so funny! We call her the “flopper” b/c she’ll walk into a room and just flop down on her side. She also will sometimes be a cobra and run across the room on her hind legs only–she’s a weirdo but we loe her mucho!!

Hi Karen! What a fun giveaway and I love Tabs!! Tabs has the best taste, I would love to share a beauty closet with “her”, she has all the goods!!
I am actually cat sitting for my two favorite kitties, Fifi and Charkey. They are not liking me too much, they are spoiled by their real mother, my friend, who is on a week’s vacation and the cats basically want nothing to do with me……I feed them all their favorite foods, and still they show me no love, I am hoping in a few days they will warm up to me more cuz I adore cats, actually all pets!
We have 2 dogs, Max and Lucy, our black labs and I am so used to their constant interaction it’s hard when Fifi and Charkey don’t want me to pet them, etc……
Maybe if I bring over some MAC and Smashbox products they will warm up to me, hey, now there’s an idea, they are definitely diva-licious!!
Thanks so much for the chance to enter. I’m also following you on twitter and tweeting, I’m @joannaonthelake

My cat got his name in a rather long, roundabout manner… Let’s just say he started off his kitten-hood being called Blinky and it slowly evolved into Noodles. LOL! 🙂

Nida says
Simply love it! Tabs is fab!
Jadelyn says
That cat is ridonkulously adorable. I miss having cats! My ex had a cranky, elderly Siamese who was also the snuggliest cat I’ve ever known. As in, she’d get on your lap, make herself comfortable, and proceed to yell at you, in that particular shrill Siamese voice, if you dared to move before she was ready to get up.
Jade says
Tabs is so cute!
Judy says
I wish that the weekend was longer and I had more fun at work…but at least the day is half over! Tabs is adorable…have a great day!

My fiance and I just agreed to adopt a cat named Patches – but I have no idea who named her that or why, because she’s not patchy at all. She looks like a slightly more petite, darker Tabs!

Hi Karen……..Thanks for this awesome giveaway. I’ve been following your blog for about 10 days now. I am so wanting to do a guest post. Can you please email me some hints about what to write about? I had a cool weekend……out for dinner on both Sat & Sun night. I simply LOVE make up, I am so passionate about it, that I even dream about it. Now what do you say about that?!! Thanks so much for doing this lovely blog and I am addicted! Take care.
Amelia says
I’ve been following this blog religiously for about a month now, but have never left a comment until now. Tabs is the most gorgeous kitty I have ever seen, and should get mega props for his modeling talent!
My own tabby, Oscar DeVito King of Denmark, was named so creatively because my father wanted to name a cat Oscar, but I insisted that he was more of a Denmark. His previous owners (he was a shelter kitty) named him Vito, so we tacked that on in a more elegant form. Tabby love! <3
Kate says
Yup, I’ve read this blog for at least a year before I started commenting now and then.
Tina says
ahh tabs is cute:)

I completely adore Tabs! I just love seeing him on your blog..added bonus! 🙂

I’ve always loved the story of how you and Tabs met. It’s like he adopted you, not the other way around.
Sandra says
I wish my cat was friends with Tabs : )
Joseph G. says
I always get excited whenever I see new pics of Tabs. My cat died recently and is the same color as Tabs.. sad sad sad.. Anyhooo, I got a new one and he’s name is “Lucky”. Wanna know why? Here in PI, people say that when a male cats have 3 colors, then its very unusual and should be considered lucky, hence the name.. LOL… By the way I love Chanel Lift Lumiere foundation and Shiseido Perfect Smoothing powder foundation! Can’t wait to buy them online! =)

Goldie says
your blog brings my two passions together, cats and makeup. Tabs is such a hansome fellow. My little female tabby, Peanut, has quite a crush on Tabs and looks forward to Sundays more than me!!

I like that Tabs is fierce (in the Tyra Banks, not wild animal, way), yet approachable.

There’s no other blog like yours. You’re really creative and I love Sundays with Tabs!

My kitty Rambo (who looks a lot like Tabs!) was named by the first people who had him, but apparently was named after the movie character. He’s kind of crazy though, so it fits.

Someone dumped my cat as a 6 week old kitten and she showed up sitting in my horse feed trough in his hay. She was about the cutest little thing I’d ever seen and there was no way I couldn’t keep her. We’ve been together a good 4 years.

Tabs is a sweetheart!

Tabs is such a cutie patootie! LOVE the urban decay urban lash graphic 😀 I’ve scoped out their new lash collection & fell in love with a bunch of the styles. I’ve been meaning to buy a pair or two. Thanks for reminding me! Hehe.
My baby dogs are: Lexi, Zeus, & Scooter. I bet they would love to meet Tabs one day 🙂

Roxanne says
Love your blog! It caters to my every needs: makeup and cats!! (The BF won’t allow kitties in our home (yet)… but i’m working on it!)
Ditte K. says
My cat got his name, Fart, because he farted to get away from hugs when he was a kitten 🙂 He is still able to do it now – he’s 10 years old. And not too old to chase his own tail 😉
L says
Entering, and crossing my fingers…
Tabs’ story was interesting – how did you found out that he was a stray cat and not just taking time off his previous home? 🙂
Liz Diaz says
Don’t have any pets but Tabs could definately “Rock The Runway’! Thanks for the giveaway!

Love how BIG Tabs is! My cat, Moose, seems to have a very large, fish fillet shaped body but with the same size head as when she was a kitten. VERY strange…..but mostly funny. 🙂
Deb says
I love all your Tabs art! He is quite photogenic.
Karin says
What a nice prize!
I would love to win so I can pamper my soul after being betrayed by my fiance 40days before our wedding. I would buy some blush and a sexy lipstick to improve my low self-confidence after becoming a single lady again.
Kate says
What the heck, how amazing are you?! K, on to my real comment….
Sorry to be a Debby-downer, but today has seriously been the most stressful day in a long time—and I’ve been seriously stressed lately. Eeek, give me some freakin peace Universe!!
lesley says
my kitties are named salsa and alexander! but typically we just call them ‘kitty’ and ‘fatty’… hee hee!
Van says

Nirali says
I love Tabs in the Pret a Papier campaign! So cute! My dog, Sky was named after the color of his eyes (sky blue)–he’s a husky
Nessa says
Congrats on your 100th volume, Tabs! Great giveaway!
My Bella got her name b/c she is a beautiful brindle pit bull, not b/c I am a Twihard. And Roxas, my 8 month old german shepard/malamute, got his name from Kingdom Hearts. He is Sora’s Nobody: http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Roxas

saneeya says
ooh..wonderful giveaway tabs…i always looked down my nose on girls who put makeup on and are perfectly groomed ..but now I sing a different tune 😉
Amanda says
Awww, thanks Tabs, you’re so generous!
I have a cat named Oscar because I climbed into a dumpster to rescue him as a kitten. He was very ill and one of my neighbors put him into the dumpster to die! 🙁 So sad. Anyway, now about 7 years later he’s fat- a 17lb double thumbed cat- and very happy. Horray!
Linnea says
Pepper got her name because her nose was the shade of freshly ground/cracked pepper. she’s a tabby just like Tabs! (and also fussy!)
Luciana Lima says
Thanks Tabs!
Marian says
Hiya! My 3 cats are named Felix, Pepper and Inky. Their names came from the way they look!
Janice says
This is one of my first visits to this blog and I’m totally a loyal follower now! Tabs is adorable and would love mac’s fabulous felines 😉 – seems much more cooperative than my aunt’s kitty who I visited this week- she would run away whenever I tried to pet her :p
Henley says
Thanks for the giveaway
Dao says
I read your blog, saw Tabs, and wanted to have a cat. At that time, I lived in an upstairs apartment with a roommate so cats were out of the question. A few weeks after moving into my current place, I saw a stripped kitty that looks a lot like Tabs walking around in the parking lot. I pet him and gave him toast with butter. That was more than a year and a half ago. Now, Belly and I are going strong thanks to you and Tabs.

parents!
Isk says
Cool contest Karen! Thanks Tabs 🙂
Ricquetta Francis says
Tabs is one good looking kitty and I have a kitty that has almost identical personalities to him. He’s very dramatic but I love him to pieces. You turn a regular normal beauty blog by amping it up with loads of humour and tabs. 😀 I look forward to reading your posts everyday!
Jessica says
It literally always makes my day when i see Tabs posing he is sooooo cute!! I just want to climb through the computer screen and pet him all day long. If i could i would take him on a shopping spree and to a masseuse. Best kitty ever besides my three darling cats 🙂
suzieduck says

Tabs is so much like my cat Links! =)
(sighs) Since I’m off in college, I miss him dearly.
Cindy says
I could use $100 to buy textbooks for school :((
Rachel H. says
I love your posts about Tabs, because I know I’m not the only one crazy about my cat! 🙂
& thanks for always offering such great giveaways!
lumikukka says
Tabby is such a handsome boy :).
Makes me miss my own doggie boy, who sadly passed away few months ago.
Charlieeeee says
This ones for the lady [;
Essi says
I have a little shih tzu named Eva. She wishes she could chase Tabs 🙂
Anna says
I have three cats: Lex, Loki, and Vladimir. Loki was named because he’s mischievous, Lex because my sister liked the way it sounded, and Vladimir because I think he looks like he belongs in Russia with his pretty long fur and icy blue eyes.
olivia says
It’s great that you made this contest, it’s going to be great 😀
I love Tabs, you’re little commercial pictures make me smile everytime I see them.
Sadly, I don’t have any animal, but my mom is allergic to cats and we don’t have space for a dog… But when Im older Im definitely getting a cat 🙂
I love the Venomous Villains collection, and I don’t have a lot of mac so I will splurge on this collection!
Alyssa says
I have a dapper, handsome little poodle named after the quintessential man… Mr. Darcy. Gotta love Pride and Prejudice!!!! And Tabs is such a little cutie, I’m loving his look in the Dior Lace ad campaign. =)
Purity says
Tabs is such a gorgeous cat, I have two cats myself (Pixel and Gizmo) and I couldn’t imagine living without them =) Thanks for the story on how you and Tabs got to know each other, I really enjoyed reading it!
Lauren says
I have 2 cats. A black bombay named kiki, and a calico named bella. They are both the loves of my life!
Steph says
Happy 100th Sunday with Tabs! I adore this cat. I had a grey kitten two years ago, but sadly I’ve had to leave her behind for college!
Jennifer says
I just love how you find such creative ways to express your love for your kitty! Do you photoshop all these yourself? I would love to do something like that for my cat ichigo!
