Just as most viewers, myself included, were beginning to feel like the show had already jumped the cat/shark, Project Catwalk totally redeemed itself with a tour de force Season 3 premiere.
OMG! Did you watch last night?? So much drama! So much cat politicking! So much fierce tail flicking and cat attitude. One thing should be clear by now — this season, the contestants showed up to werk!
In Season 1, it was obvious to most feline and human viewers that Snowball was the cat to beat. She dominated from the very first challenge, winning six of the nine catwalk competitions. Honestly, was anyone really surprised when judge Tabs called her “the best damn plus-size kitty cat-walker since, well, me”? I mean, it was pretty obvious.
In Season 2, however, the maturity level just wasn’t there. All 10 kitten contestants were simply too young and hyper to compete, and none of them could concentrate for more than a few seconds.
But this season, at least four of the contestant cats appear to have what it takes to go all the way to Feline Fashion Week. The Russian Blue, the twin Siamese kitties and the Ragdoll all have professional-caliber catwalk confidence and poise.
At this point, it’s really anyone’s competition…
So the question remains, who will win this season of Project Catwalk? I for one can’t wait to find out. 🙂
Who is Tabs the Cat? About five years ago I befriended a stray, flea-bitten tabby cat with a bad case of worms. I could see he’d fallen on hard times, but his profound knowledge of high fashion and department store cosmetics led me to believe that he was more than meets the eye. We became fast friends, and now he’s actually my boss (and a successful kitty model). 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Check out some of Tabs’ favorite kitty modeling campaigns down below, but there’s even more tabby to love in the Makeup and Beauty Blog archives.

Heidi says
So admirable, but hardly surprising, that you’re willing to suffer for your art!
So, I was perusing all the calendars at the mall today… when can we expect a Tabs calendar to be published? It would sell like hotcakes!

I love the Laura Mercier and Pixi ones! Pretty sure in real life Tabs would have swatted the fairy version of himself dead though LOL

Awwww! Tabs is so cute! Also, there used to be a Pbs Kids show called Between the Lions, about a lion family who lived in a library, lol.
Jane says
Tabs portfolio never ceases to amaze. . . love the Hourglass ad. But then, I love all of them. I also enjoyed your writeup of “Project Catwalk.” I could picture all the kitties strutting their stuff. . .
Tiffany says
I love all of these! I live in DC, so I was preparing for Sandy and just saw these. Thankfully, we are fine, unlike NYC, NJ, and other coastal areas. I LOVE Sundays with Tabs. It makes me happy, 🙂 xoxoxo
Karen says
Hi Tiffany,
Tabs and I are glad to hear you’re okay. 🙂 Thanks for letting us know! We were very worried about the East Coast gals.
