Rosie

As a kitty supermodel, purrfessional athlete, philanthropist and fashion icon, Tabs flourished in the fierce ferocity of fabulousness. He dominated in almost every endeavor, save one — the sciences. Academia was not his forte.

However, looking fabulous was.

Boom.

He also acted on the side, earning the first of many Cat Academy Awards for his riveting purrformance in “The Tabby of Wall Street.”

Of course, it was modeling that really put him on the map.

And then once he achieved superstardom, he strove to share his knowledge with up-and-coming humans and cats.

Dr. Rosie has been an employee of Tabs the Cat Industries LLC for slightly more than a year now, and while she may not be as passionate about kitty modeling as Tabs was, she certainly has her own sense of style.

Dr. Rosie, PhD

As the company’s Sr. Quantum Physicist, she spends her days working in the lab. Her attire isn’t typically flamboyant, but here she is wearing her new security clearance badge. This is what gets her into the top secret gravy research level in the company headquarters.

She never goes anywhere without her security badge. 😊

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

If there’s one thing Tabs loved, it was a bold rainbow statement piece. 🌈 I mean, he loved real rainbows too. We chased many together in our years living together here in Novato. I’ve seen more rainbows in this town than any other place I’ve lived.

They take on a different meaning now that he’s gone… Whenever I see a rainbow, of course I think of him and his penchant for rainbow accessories and rainbow makeup. He was not afraid to rock a colorful eye.

Rainbow Rosie

There was a rainbow yesterday in the eastern sky, and when I told Rosie this, she shocked me by asking me to please craft a custom collar for her. I didn’t want to show too much excitement, so I tried to play it cool… I kept it understated, which I think is her style. As much as I wanted to encrust it with colorful rhinestones, I refrained and kept it simple and sleek. 😊

I hesitate to call her a bonafide kitty model because I know she’s not into labels, but I have to say, these are some of her best pictures yet.

Rosie is a cat of science and claims that she has no interest in anything fashion or modeling related. I really want to believe this is true because, you know me, I am 100 percent behind lady cats in STEM. That said, I was shocked today when I saw her nosing around the climate controlled room where we keep all of Tabs’s couture collars.

Rosie was in the floral section, and while she browsed for a collar to wear, I took a trip down memory lane thinking of all the groundbreaking kitty modeling campaigns Tabs did before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge, especially those involving flowers…

Dr. Rosie, Plant Geneticist

Rosie does have a strong interest in botany, particularly plant genetics, which is why I think she chose this collar today. I’m assuming she was cooking up some kind of experiment. Who knows? She’s a mystery. I do know that the yellow flowers in this collar play off the orange patches in her fur nicely.

Tabs was primarily known for his fashion sense and his flair for fabulousness and the food-related arts, but he wasn’t just a husky tabby. Sure, he was celebrated for his perfection of the feline form, but his mind was equally robust.

I think if he had had more hours in the day, in addition to kitty modeling and all of his other various businesses and philanthropic projects, he would have been the Elon Musk of cats. I was actually tidying up some of his old papers the other day, and I found what I think were napkin drawings of his plans for Space X.

I really do wonder where Elon got all of his ideas… Was Tabs up in the mix, and I just didn’t know about it? I know for a while they were texting…

Not all of his frenemies knew about his brilliant mind. They just assumed he was a pretty boy tabby with nothing but cobwebs up top, but really he was always planning and strategizing.

He loved all things technology and was on the forefront in the realms of robotics, coding and science.

Pretty Girl Rosie, PhD

Science is Rosie’s first and apparently only love. (Well, besides Temptations treats.) She could talk about formulas and numbers all day long. One day I asked her what she thought about advanced math, and five minutes into the conversation my brain turned into pudding. She’s so smart! And she’s not afraid to flaunt her brilliance.

This new pendant came in the mail the other day, and I just thought it was a shiny bauble from Tiffany, but noooo. Rosie has informed me that it is a completely new element that she synthesized in her lab. (Side note: Where is this lab? I live with the cat, and I have no idea where it is.)

Anyway, it’s apparently able to conduct multiple sources of energy at the same time. I don’t quite understand it. She was trying to explain it to me, and I sort of just passed out because it was way over my head.

Glamour-puss. Diva. “It cat.” Tabs wasn’t simply a trendsetter. He was a kitty supermodeling savant, a feline fashion icon and the cat kingpin of kitty accessories.

But Rosie is no slouch when it comes to cat style, and she’s been feelin’ herself lately. As you know, she’s more academically oriented than Tabs was. She holds PhDs in astrophysics, mathematics, biology and mechanical engineering, among other disciplines, but ever since she started working for Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC, she’s been expanding her horizons into kitty modeling.

Dr. Rosie

Last week she 3D printed this solid gold digital calculator pendant so she can perform her calculations on her walk.

The only thing is, the bling is attracting unwanted attention from cat ne’er-do-wells, like the shifty individual Rosie noticed hiding underneath a truck…
