Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 482

December 31st, 2017 by Karen 14 Comments

This morning was the last patrol of the year for Tabs, and it was relatively uneventful, until a neighbor’s dog started barking, which prompted Tabs to bolt all the way up the hill and around the house to the front door.

Of course, Sir Tabby still got in enough time to inspect the perimeter for intruders, nibble some grass and bamboo, and watch me slip and slide down the hill on my bum.

It was not one of my most graceful moments…

Overall, 2017 was a good year for Tabs, but it was a year of big change.

The baby, who isn’t such a baby anymore, finally learned how to pet without patting, which is a big deal, because now there’s another set of hands in the house capable of giving Tabs the lurvies he so richly deserves.

The neighborhood cat and dog situation, however, took a turn for the worse. There are now at least three big dogs and three nosy cat neighbors living on our little circle, and there were multiple “incidents” involving feline trespassers and cat confrontations this year. Thankfully, none of them resulted in all-out combat, but a couple came close.

When it comes to the cats, Tabs usually stands his ground, but he doesn’t mess around with the dogs.

One of the neighborhood cats must have trespassed on the company property at some point between now and last night, because Tabs’s favorite decorative catnip plant got straight-up mauled. Something ravaged it and shredded it to pieces, so Tabs wants me to review the security tapes tonight. If they reveal the culprit, I’m pretty sure Tabs will want to press charges.

One thing about having so many new feline and canine neighbors is that it keeps things interesting around here. I mean, a cat can’t live on bamboo alone. Even retired kitty supermodels need a little excitement.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Happy new year, my friend. 🙂 See you in 2018!!! 🙂

    Karen,
    Happy New Year to you and all!
    Tabs and Rose are similar–Rose is not a Dog cat.
    This past summer, a neighbor was walking a Great Dane who clearly has kitty siblings because when he saw Rose sunning in the front with me he stopped and wanted to meet her. So I picked her up and carried her over to meet the Great Dane.
    The dog was so happy and what did Rose do, she swatted his nose with her paw and hissed at him! Little Rose vs the Great Dane! I felt so bad for the dog–he wanted to make friends, but I knew how it would play out! LOL!
    xoxo Anne Marie & Rosie

      Hi Annemarie and Rosie,

      I can totally Rosie standing up to the Great Dane! Nobody messes with her. LOL!

      Did Rosie stay up to watch the ball drop? Tabs was mildly amused when I did my usual tradition of opening the front door after right at midnight to let all the good luck in. He was like, “Are we going outside right now? I’d love a midnight stroll.” Silly tabby boy.

    Good resolutions Tabs! I’m glad you’re not falling victim to the seasonal body shaming that comes with New Year’s Resolutions.

    I’d like Mina to resolve to not leave my husband’s old motorcycle boots in places where I’ll trip on them, but she’s cute enough to get away with it.

      Tabs is proud of his physique and loves his curves. 🙂

      Aww, Mina is just into footwear. You can’t blame a girl for that!

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).
