Even Tabs has bad hair days
Poor Tabs had a pretty bootsy week. It rained a lot here, so he never got to go outside except to go to his Bikram yoga class. And now he’s moping around the house and tearin’ sh*t up.
This is sort of random, but did I ever tell you about the time he opened for Whitesnake? Yeah, Bieber canceled on them, which really put them in a bind, and since Tabs happened to be in town that weekend, he rushed down to the Filmore in San Francisco for the show. Yup, it was all very exciting and marked a major milestone in his entertainment career. 🙂
He even got to sing one of his favorite songs. Of course, he made some minor changes to the lyrics.
“Here Tabs Goes Again”, The Whitesnake Remix
He’s just another cat in need of rescue,
Waitin’ on love’s sweet charity
An he’s gonna hold on
For the rest of his days,
‘Cos he knows what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An’ here Tabs goes again on his own
Goin’ down the only road Tabs’ ever known
Like a drifter Tabs was born to walk alone
An’ he’s made up his mind
He ain’t wasting no more time…
Who is Tabs the Cat? About three years ago I befriended a stray, flea-bitten tabby cat with a bad case of worms. I could see he’d fallen on hard times, but his profound knowledge of high fashion and department store cosmetics led me to believe that he was more than meets the eye. We became fast friends, and now he’s actually my boss (and a successful kitty model). 🙂
Here are some other things you may not know about Tabs. He…
Started a stitch ‘n’ bitch group with the neighborhood cats
Made it to the final four in season 7 of Top Chef
Loves the look of a black liner along the waterline
Is currently obsessed with Kate Spade’s spring shoes
Has repeatedly denied any involvement in “The Christmas Tree Incident”
Is in the process of developing his own line of accessories
Teaches breakdancing to elementary school children on the weekends
Hates modeling with others
Has been clinically diagnosed as a narcissist
Man, I just love that song… “An’ here Tabs goes again on his own, goin’ down the only road Tabs’ ever known!”
Have yourself a great night, young lady. See you soon. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

January 16th, 2011 at 7:54 pmHAHAHAHA I can’t believe you wrote lyrics about Tabs to that song—wait—-yes I can!
So AWESOME! Except now I’m gonna be singing ” An’ here Tabs goes again on his own
Goin’ down the only road Tabs’ ever known” all night! Love it!

January 16th, 2011 at 8:21 pmHahahaha I’m pretty sure ALL cats would be clinically diagnosed as narcissists… if they would ever bother to see a therapist in the first place, because really, they’re all just too damn hot for that kind of thing, don’tchaknow.

January 16th, 2011 at 8:38 pmMissy’s on my lap reading this, and when she gets to the part about the Christmas Tree Incident, she mutters something that sounds remarkably like “deny, deny, deny, my friend!”

January 17th, 2011 at 11:11 amFor once my assistant brought home a pair of shoes worthy of my presence. Believe me; I’m picky about my footwear.

Heh!

January 17th, 2011 at 5:02 amSweet shoes! And this from someone who basically only wears sneakers! 🙂
Yeah, they’re all towing that party line regarding Christmas tree incidents!
PS It’s minus 15 degrees here this AM. Just thought I’d share. Sorry, for all our international comment readers, that’s Fahrenheit. Brrrrrr…
Tabs says
January 17th, 2011 at 11:05 amFor the record, I have sworn under oath that I had nothing to do with “The Christmas Tree Incident.”

January 17th, 2011 at 6:04 amOMG those shoes are totally gorgeous but also totally LOVE the slouchy cabled hat that Tabs is sporting in the first pic…did he knit it? If so will he share his pattern?
Tabs says
January 17th, 2011 at 10:58 amI wish I could say that I knitted this, love, but I didn’t. It’s a knitted hat by Eugenia Kim.

January 17th, 2011 at 9:58 amTabs is most definitely too cool for school.
My cat looks a lot like him but even leaving apart their size (she is small, my dad calls her the pocket rocket), you can tell she is a girl and he is a boy. Or maybe I am just imagining that bit!
Tabs says
January 17th, 2011 at 10:52 amYou know it’s all about the tabbies — big AND small!

Instant Karma (formerly L) says
January 17th, 2011 at 8:59 pmLOLLLL the “has been clinically diagnosed as a narcissist” is amazing. I think that’s true for just about any cat. In fact, just a couple hours ago, someone asked me what mental health issue Aisha is most likely to have, and my response was “narcissistic personality disorder.” 😀
