Tabs grows catnip for personal use
Tabs is like an enigma wrapped in a chubby, fur-covered riddle. I learn something new about him every day. Like, today I found out that he worked on a fishing boat in Alaska one summer to save money for modeling school. 🙂 Who knew?
Here are some other things you may not know about Tabs. He…
Is hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year
Is quite the Lothario
Hates building Ikea furniture
Is an excellent packer
Can type 120 words per minute
Could stare at himself for hours
Wants to start a glee club
Does 100 sit-ups a day
Hates peep-toe boots
Collaborated with Chanel to create Riva nail polish
If it weren’t for Tabs, I wouldn’t laugh nearly as much. He’s not just my blogging buddy. He’s also a great source of comic relief! 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
marmar says

Tabs says
I have about a billion things to do before Thursday! Maybe I should just serve gravy.
Love,
Tabs
Denise says
Tabs is too cute! I always get a big laugh out of your photos of him and funny captions.You two make a great team.
Tabs says
Thanks, Denise. 🙂
Meow,
Tabs
Tracy says
Man, can Tabs type! And I’m with him-I hate putting together Ikea furniture too!
Ready for some Zombies tonight?
Karen says
We’re about to start watching! I was just walking around the house chanting, “Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!” LOL
Tracy says
Wow that was some episode. So sad at the end.
Kathleen says
Tabs has some serious claws! We just trimmed my Dusty’s, which makes his morning swat at the face much less dangerous.
Tabs says
Yeah, I know. I need to keep ’em long for my paw modeling jobs.
Send my love to Dusty,
Tabs
Julia says
Haha! This is so cute. Wintertime kinda makes me want to photograph my cats a lot, too! They get funnier when the heaters are turned on.
Tabs says
You can never have enough pictures of your kitties!
Strike a pose,
Tabs
Vanessa says
Tabs makes my day, he’s such a diva!
Tabs says
It’s true, I am a Diva!!
Lurvies,
Tabs
Sandy says
OMG Hilarious…I definitely need a kitty in my life. Hopefully when I move to my new place.
Tabs says
I hope a fabulous feline enters your life soon!
Purrs,
Tabs
Vonvon says
I like the photo of Tabs and the Dior Lace eyeshadow palette! 😀
Tabs says
You know I love me some Dior!
Heart ya,
Tabs
Rinnie says
It’s so good to see how much your wittle kitteh makes you happy, days don’t seem as bad when something curls up and purrs next to you. I personally couldn’t go a day without the unjudging eyes of my dog. Seeing Tabs makes me miss my Spanky, he looks like a munchkin version of your kitty; he passed in January after suddenly getting sick and was only 9 :-(. I hope to get another cat soon.
Tabs says
RIP, Spanky. *pours 40*
Big hugs,
Tabs

Kitties definitely make the world a happier place to live in. I don’t know what I’d do with out mine. When I was suffering from major depression and had thoughts of hurting myself, the thought that no one could take care of, or spoil, Zeal as well as I could and that I couldn’t let her be taken care of by anyone else stopped me & made me get help. My kitty saved my life, just by being herself.
The end of January will be 12 years since she came into my life and I’m so grateful she did. She makes me laugh, she snuggles with me so I’m not lonely, she’s smart & behaves well most of the time (she’s a cat, she must misbehave sometimes.. it’s in the rules I think). She is awesome sauce.
Tabs says
Hi Auroragyps,
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve gone through some struggles, but glad that your kitty Zeal is there for you.
When my human cries I like to comfort her too. 🙂
Love,
Tabs
Rose says
So CUTE!!! I want a cat!
tiptoe shortbread says
Extreme cuteness on a rainy Monday morning here in Ireland!
Tabs says
Glad you’re lovin’ my photo spread, Tipetoe Shortbread.

Tabs
Lorraine says

Tabs says
A big WOOT to the cat ladies!
Tell me about your felines.
Love,
Tabs
Poupoune says
Hihi it’s so easy to make funny pictures with cats ^^ I do the same with mine (and with my dog too). My pets also have their own post every sunday :p.
Tabs says
That’s just fabulous!
Cat rule,
Tabs
Iben says
Haha I love these! Especially his sit ups.. 🙂
Tabs says
Those sit ups keep me at the top of my cat modeling game! Gotta stay firm!
Working on my fitness,
Tabs
vanina says
“Can type 120 words per minute” “Does 100 sit-ups a day” = big big laugh this morning !!!! thank you so much !!!
Kim says
Karen, is Tabs checking out those turkeys in the first pic? 🙂 Also, how funny is that Friskies cat? I’ve never really noticed the bag before, but it made me laugh when I saw it in the background. That cat’s all like “hey!”. HAHAHA!
Tabs says
He is raising his paw up in feline solidarity.
RISE UP, MY FRIENDS!
Down with the man,
Tabs
Kim says
I’m glad you didn’t say “down with the woman”, my Furry Friend. You know who dishes out that gravy. 🙂
Advah says
I second tiptoe shortbread, this has just cheered up a rather bleak Monday!
I *cannot* get enough of his adoring look when you’re scratching his head (or how he’s looking at your boots hahahahah).
I love cats and suitcases. Mine always get very confused when there are open suitcases in the house (guess they can feel someone’s going to leave); but the last time I went back to visit my parents, I opened my suitcase, took a bag out and went to put it in the kitchen, and when I came back there were already two cats sitting on my clothes and giving me a nasty look because I was clearly about to make them move.. 😀
Tabs says
Woman, peep toe boots need to GO! They offend my delicate feline sensibilities.
Fashion 4ever,
Tabs
Nina says
awwww Tabs …. i have the biggest crush on you! 😀
Tabs says
Thanks, Nina! Sending you purrs and headbutts!
Gravy rules,
Tabs
gio says
That’s just too cute! I love Tabs!
Tabs says
Love you back, boo!
Purrs,
Tabs
Kerry says
I was reading through some of your earlier posts for funsies the other day, and I came across one where you were describing this cat that just showed up at your door one day and ate some food you left out. Is that Tabs?
By the way, he is the cutest freaking cat evar!
Tabs says
Yes, that was me. I arrived at the door and demanded that I be given the gravy I so richly deserve.
Kisses,
Tabs
irini says
hey where can i find this post?:D
Mel says
Tabs is….one of the best parts about this blog! Thank You Tabs for sharing time with us!
Tabs says
I personally would love to see the site go by the name of “Makeup and Tabby Blog,” but for some odd reason the boss lady isn’t down with that.
Thanks for your support, though!
Cats rule,
Tabs
Chantel says
I love anything and everything Tabs!! He is too cute! His little stories make my week! Please keep them coming along with great beauty reviews and advice! Maybe I should start a blog about my little hedgehog, Calvin and his adventures!?!? 🙂
Tabs says
Do it! Studies show pets thrive when allowed a creative outlet, like blogging!
Love,
Tabs
Cassie says
Wow, Tabs is such a talented little cat. If only I was even half as industrious as him and can perform the tasks with twice the attitude, then I’d really get somewhere!
xxx
Tabs says
Thanks, lady! It’s not easy being an international cat model, but somebody’s gotta do it!
Peace,
Tabs
Camilla says
Love your cat she is so cute:-)
HanaBerlin says
Tabs is so friggen cute!
Trisha says
I love you Tabs. That is all.
Elana says
I melted with the pic of the 2 of you, with adoration in your eyes, lookin’ at the foid lady. My Roscoe,(aka #1 , first quality min-pin) is interested in doggah modeling. Any pointers? My food lady bought the D&G lip pallette and Nars bento box thanks to Karens’ amazing blog- and she told mr I need to start earning my keep! Keep up the awesome work. Ya’ll make my week!
Elana says
Sorry… I meant Food lady… hard to type on an ipod….
cara says
Aww…Tabs is such a handsome guy! I have a tabby too — Josie — and they look very much alike. Maybe long lost cousins? Josie and my other kitty, Chibi, bring so much joy to my life I can’t imagine not having them around — even when they’re having a fit of the midnight crazies!
; )
Lindsay says
Wow Tabs, you have a lot of Fancy Feast! Im kind of jealous. My boys wont touch those two flavors. It’s only fancy feast fish and shrimp for my brats.
Rachael says
Tabs could so beat Scarlet in a Diva off.
melissa says
i got a good LOL out of this!! nice job karen!
Alice says
Awww Tabs is such a handsome kitty! He always makes me smile 🙂
Dao says
Every time I read Tabs’ posts, my IQ is reduced to below average. Instead of forming coherent sentences, all I could think of is “Taaaaaaaaaaabs!” And then, I would proceed to hug Belly, pretending he was Tabs, which resulted in him giving me the stank eyes.
Dijana says
OMG – that pic where he’s looking up at you, sooooooooo cute! 🙂
He seems like such a nice cat… yet every cat i’ve ever come across has tried to claw my face off lol I would love to get a cat but those experiences just ruin it for me.. hopefully i’ll find a nice kitty one day too 🙂
