Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 481

December 24th, 2017 by Karen 11 Comments

“I call this side profile look ‘selling the stud.'”

Before we left the house yesterday, and actually I do this every time I leave for a trip, El Hub, Connor and I spent a long time telling Tabs that we love him, that we’re going to miss him, and that we hope he doesn’t throw any ragers while we’re gone.

It’s true, though. Whenever I go anywhere without Tabs, I feel like I leave part of my heart ? behind (although I don’t know if he cares that much about me, to be honest).

As you can see from these pics from his latest photo spread with his favorite pet sitter/freelance photographer, he was very excited about getting dressed up and celebrating Christmas Eve at the home office on his own.

He sent me a text earlier to ask if it was OK if his old CIA buddies came over for a visit, and at first I was like, “You were in the CIA”? And he said, “Mrow,” which, loosely translated to human speak, means, “Yes, how could you have not known? I didn’t exactly keep it a secret.”

“Eggnog for everyone!!”

“Obviously, I was a very good cat this year. Obviously.”

“All I want for Christmas is Chanel and Dior.”
“I wish you a meowy Christmas…”

“And a happy new year.”

Of course, being in the Christmas spirit, I told him “sure,” so, as you’re reading this, half a dozen CIA kitties have descended upon Novato, California, and nobody knows or has any idea what’s going on, because they’re sneaky like that…

Oh! — Tabs let me pick out his Christmas tie this year (I guess he was feeling generous). I went with red and white because I thought the red would play off the green in his eyes, and the candy pattern is symbolic of his sweetness. 🙂

Before we left the house, El Hub tucked several treat into Tabs’s stocking, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tabs tucked some presents underneath the tree for us, too.

Wishing you and your kitty family a very meowy Christmas,

Karen

    He’s so handsome with his tie! Hettie and Loki (our doggo guest) are wearing festive kerchiefs. Cats are naked, as usual. My mom put antlers on her cat, Hoho, who was displeased with that.

    I told the kitty I met at PetCo the other day who was up for adoption that I loved her and she’d get adopted soon (as one does when they encounter adoptable kitties), and when I went back a few days later she was adopted 😀 Best Christmas for her.

    Merry Christmas!

    Karen! What I and many others would love for 2018 is to know you are writing a book about Tabs life!! Why should only we who love your Tabs blog enjoy it? Why not every single person out there who wants their child to learn to read by first reading their Tabs book? We think it’s a seller ! Just a thought gurl, just a thought ???

    Great to see Tabs looking even more handsome than usual for the holidays!

    Odin and Freya do not wear festive outfits as they celebrate Nordic Jul as opposed to Christmas, but they raced around the house re-enacting the battle for Battle for Castle Black from GoT using a large cardboard box. Freya always takes the part of Jon Snow, while Odin is a Whitewalker, attacking from outside. They never tire of this game.

    Just to show us what he thinks of Christmas spirit and goodwill to all cats/creatures, Odin chewed through the neck of his favourite mouse toy, Beryl. Even though she is only a toy, it was really disconcerting to see her head separated from her body on Christmas Day…

    Thanks for your friendship, Karen XXXX

    love his Christmas tie.

    sadly my Kate would not lower herself to allow any adornments, although she would be as cute

      I’m lucky that Tabs is so fashion-forward. 🙂 How old is your Kate? Is she a tabby, too?

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).
