Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 333

February 8th, 2015 by Karen 11 Comments

Sundays with Tabs the Cat: Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot

Dear Tabby is written by Tabs the cat, commonly regarded as “the world’s first plus-size kitty supermodel.” Founded in mid 2012, it has quickly become the most widely syndicated cat advice column on earth — known for its fresh, feline perspective on lifestyle, fashion and style issues affecting cats and humans.

An unconventional office romance

Feline office romance

DEAR TABBY: I’ve had a crush on the same cat since we were kittens, but I don’t think she even knows I exist. You see, I work late a lot. I’m a certified kitty accountant (you know how it is, Tabby, married to my job), and I think she must also work in the area, because I watch her through the windows of my office late at night.

Sometimes I’ll see her chatting with other cats under the street lamps and, yeah, it makes me jealous, but I’m also very introverted and shy.

I rarely, if ever, go outside, whereas she, on the other paw, is a free spirit who stays out all night. It’s a classic case of when opposites attract.

My question is this: how do I let her know I’m interested without coming on too strong, and should I even bother? We work in the same area, but it’s as if we’re worlds apart.
— Interested Introvert

Just let the rhythm move you
Let the rhythm move you

DEAR INTERESTED: I’ve counseled many cats in situations similar to yours, where one of the interested parties works indoors and the other one works outside, and here’s what I tell them: yes, I think you should absolutely let her know how you feel, and don’t worry about coming on too strong. Romance is all about taking risks.

I suggest interpretive dance. Express your feelings through dance one night, and try to get her attention through the glass. You’ll never know what might be unless you try.

A cat who wants to be more than friends

Cat friends and lovers

DEAR TABBY: This week, completely out of nowhere, my best guy friend cat brought me a mouse, then started nuzzling me and purring.

I was like, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?!” and he looked terribly hurt.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s a very cute tom cat, but he’s also seeing one of my friends.

What should I do, Tabby? I’m not against purr-suing a relationship with him, but not while he’s seeing another cat.
— Friendly Tension

You have to be very upfront with some cats

DEAR FRIENDLY: Your reaction was completely understandable. He’s putting the moves on you while he’s seeing someone else!

In this case, I think you just have to be crystal clear with him. Spell everything out.

Let him know that you would never consider dating him while he’s seeing someone else, and proceed with caution. Take it slowly when dealing with friendships and matters of the heart.

It’s the thought that counts

Kitty Valentine

DEAR TABBY: I want to get my boyfriend a Valentine’s Day card from my cat, but I don’t know. Is that weird? I think it would be awesome.
— Feline Feelings

What does your intuition tell you?
What does your intuition tell you?

DEAR FEELINGS: Is he feline friendly? You have to answer that question first. If he’s shown interest in your kitty companion, most notably, like, have you observed baby talking, or has he brought your cat any gifts? If so, then it would be completely appropriate.

If, however, he ignores your cat, sacrilege! Dump him.

Just kidding! (No, really, dump him.)

A cat with a question about gift-giving

A gift from kitty

DEAR TABBY: I’m thinking about getting a Valentine’s Day gift for my assistant. Would a mouse be appropriate, or should I just go with something like shoes or chocolate?
— Modern Mouser

I recommend See’s

DEAR MOUSER: Don’t waste your time spending half your day hunting for a mouse. Go with the chocolates instead. I speak from experience.

Much love, always,

Tabs

      You’re too kind, Vanessa. Thank you. It takes an awesome person to recognize an awesome cat.

      Kitty hugs and nose kisses,

    Kitteh love sure isn’t puppy love. Let’s face it, dogs would not even entertain asking such questions and with such finesse!

    While I was rubbing the tummy of each cat just now, Dear Husband happened upon me and sighed. He then asked me if I’d heard of St. Paul and The Broken Bones.

    I thought it was a religious story or Pre-Lent tale of symbolism. Nope.

      While Tabs is clearly the Sweetheart Cat, Bridget the Beagle is the Valentine puppy (born on the 24th). She starts celebrating her lineage around this time.

        I commend your work ethic, Debra. You are clearly a very pro-active, involved professional pet assistant. As for Bridget, when it comes to inter-species love, Valentine’s Day is non-denominational 😉

        xoxo,

    Such great advice!
    Getting your assistant a sparrow and letting it fly in the bathroom isn’t appreciated either.

    Still giggling over “interpretive dance.” Must find a way to use that for an answer at work today…..

    Tabs is full of terrific advice, as always. I think he’s spot-on with the chocolate over the mouse and I’m totally on board with the interpretive dance. HAHA!

    I used to say I don’t like Valentine’s Day because I didn’t want to be disappointed when the day turned out to be a sham. I think I want a nice Valentine’s Day now!

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).
