When I got this gig working for Tabs as his professional pet assistant/kitty modeling agent, I had no idea of the adventures before me.
I thought I was just hanging out with a cat. How could I have known he would turn into such a powerhouse in the feline fashion and modeling industries. 🙂
Here’s the brief video story of how this all came to pass.

Tabs supports the Purina #MyGreatCat campaign
Every time you share a pic or video of your feline employer just being awesome in his/her own way, you’ll be feeding a hungry cat.
For each picture or video you share on your social media channels that includes the hashtag #MyGreatCat from now through August 31, Purina Pro Plan will donate one pound of cat food — up to 50,000 pounds — to hundreds of cat rescue groups nationwide through the Purina Pro Plan Rally to Rescue network.

That’s why Purina Pro Plan’s wide range of dry and wet cat foods and snacks, sold exclusively at pet specialty stores, can be found in three unique nutritional platforms — Savor, Finesse, and Focus (Tabs loves the Focus!) — with each formula designed to provide advanced nutrition to help bring out the best in your cat.

I look forward to Tabs installments every Sunday, Karen! He is one cute kitty!
Did you score anything at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? I am finally going to try the Zella live in leggings! I wanted one of the the MAC look in a box sets (coral, of course!), but they were all sold out! I see they’re on the MAC website though so hopefully I can score one there!
Karen says
Thank you, Rachel! Tabs loves being in the spotlight. He’s so glad you enjoy his weekly column. 🙂
I did pick up a few things at the Anniversary Sale — mostly stuff I needed for my wardrobe, though. I had a birthday gift card (yay!). I picked up a necklace, a couple shirts and a bra (so not exciting but necessary). I wanted to get another pair of Zella leggings but I figure I’ll wait until the ones I have look a little more ratty, LOL. They’ve held up *really* well after all this time!
Which leggings did you get? The capris or full length ones?
Rachel says
I got the full length ones, I feel like capris just don’t look quite right on me! They’re supposedly “reversible” but it doesn’t say what color the reverse side is, so it will be a surprise!
Ashleigh says
I really enjoyed hearing the story of how you and Tabs came to be family! I once had a neighbor’s kitty befriend me, let herself into my room via my window, and was super friendly! Unfortunately I have pretty bad allergies so our friendship never reached its full potential.
That also looks like a nice cause that Purina is doing through social media. I don’t have a #MyGreatCat but I do have a #MyGreatDog who is in fact a Purina Pro Plan boy. Although I’m not sure if he would be a good model like Tabs, I think his motto is “I’d rather sleep.” I tried jogging with him yesterday instead of our normal walk, and I think he was protesting the whole time- must stop to pee here, sniff there, poo on that, check out that, lets go slower… 🙂

I always love seeing Tabs in action. Such a handsome boy! It’s pretty cool how an unexpected encounter with a stray kitty can change your life for the better! Tabby boys are the best. 🙂
Leigh says
Nice story; I always wondered about how you two got together.
Chelsea says
I love this video! Such a sweet story!
Jenn says
Hello. I was wondering if you’ve seen this dear kitten commercial? From one cat lady to another, it’s the best cat commercial ever!
