Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 406

July 17th, 2016 by Karen 17 Comments

We really don’t know how old Tabs is.

Our best guess is that he’s about 11, or 10.

Our vet thinks that’s about right, but we don’t really know. He looked like he was near the end of his kittenhood when he first came into our life as a stray, and that was around 2007.

He was a kitty model right from the start, as you can tell. He took to the camera right away.

2008

He also lavished me with lurvies from the start. He’s always loved hanging out.

2009

For kitty modeling, 2009 was his breakout year. That’s when he really picked it up.

And he hasn’t let up, although he doesn’t like to work as many hours as he used to (who does?).

2010

Professionally, he still has a lot he wants to accomplish. I guess that’s how it is with driven cats.

    My sweet Owen, who looks like a slightly smaller, fuzzier Tabs, turned 17 this week! He’s still kittenish in some ways but his age is starting to show. I try not to think about how many years I may have left with him- he is my very bestest friend!

    Nice to see some old pics, Tabs hasn’t changed much at all! Ernesto is also 10, time flies…

    Tabs, still rocking it after all these years! He does look ever so slightly less Plus Sized Model in the early shots, but he was still very handsome and you can see the potential. 😉

      LOL, I think he was doing more outdoor bootcamp workouts then. You know kittens. They have so much energy, LOL!

        HAHA! I agree 100%. Those workouts are hard on the joints and definitely for the young. 😉

    Tabs is so adorable. How lucky that you two found each other and that he is a part of the family 🙂

      Hi Maria,

      I did get really lucky. It’s not often that you get to find your once-in-a-lifetime cat.

      I hope that you and your family have found ways to cope with your recent loss of Tiger. Tabs sends hugs and kisses. 🙂

    I don’t know what it is about those tabby cats. They are just so affectionate, friendly, snuggly, and have super personalities.
    I definitely need to get one of my own.

    Sunday’s with tabs are something I really look forward to seeing on a Monday morning when I get into the office ^_^. Lots of good kitty juju from Tabs No 1. fan in New Zealand

    If that’s a handknit hat in 2010, I think I know the pattern…

    I’m a sucker for handknits. And cats.

    The NARS compact cat mountain definitely made me laugh! Your posts about Tabs always pull at my heart strings in such emotional ways, Karen! lol It’s such a delight when people think of their fur babies as a best friend, rather than just a pet. 🙂

    OMG! I love this. I burst out laughing at the photo showing all of the NARS compacts in a circle around him. 🙂

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).
