Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 298

5 Cat-Safe Plants for Your Garden

Gardening can be a very effective team-building exercise for feline-run small businesses. Here at Makeup and Beauty Blog, a subsidiary of Tabs the Cat Industries LLC, all employees are required to spend at least 15 minutes per day fraternizing outside with the feline management in the employee lounge/deck garden.

Above is a copy of a brochure that outlines some of the plants we have. 🙂

The policy was instituted two years ago, and at that time the garden was small — mostly catnip and zinnia flowers in large planters — but it has steadily expanded. Today there are some plants for the company cats AND some plants for their human assistants. It’s one of my favorite things about working here.

Tabs is such a demanding kitty employer that I probably would have lost my sh*t by now and quit if it hadn’t been for our quality bonding time in the garden, where we can both just let our hair down and have fun.

Who is Tabs the Cat?
About seven 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). -Karen

I highly recommend it for any cat-operated small business. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    This is great. I’m finally going to start a deck garden. Karen which flowers do you recommend the most for someone who doesn’t have a green thumb? What are the easiest ones to grow?

      Hi Sarah,

      Cat mint is really easy! You may want to start with that first.

      I don’t think I’ve heard of Bee Balm. What is it?

      Hi Baby A,

      Actually, Tabs did everything. 🙂

      He used Adobe Illustrator for the “A Cat’s Guide” logo at the top and Adobe Photoshop CC for the sections of plants.

    Love the sunhat! I’m so behind on gardening… Jiji isn’t super into the ‘nip, but I might have to try cat grass!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
