Milla Jovovich did it. Famke Janssen did it. Jaime King and Rebecca Romijn did it. And now Tabs wants to do it, too — make the jump from modeling to acting.
Not since 2011 has a cat starred in so many TV shows and movies at the same time, and that cat was also Tabs. But those roles last year were small — a zombie kitty on an episode of The Walking Dead, a vampire kitty on an episode of True Blood, an English kitty on three episodes of Downton Tabby (a spinoff mini-series; it tested very well with cat ladies between the ages of 29-50).
This year, Tabs took Hollywood by storm, starring in five summer blockbusters in theaters at the same time, a first among felines in the acting world. 🙂
And this afternoon Tabs had me frame the movie posters from his summer films to decorate the walls of his new rumpus room/office.
Yup, a kitty assistant’s job is never done… You know how it is.
Who is Tabs the Cat? About four 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). 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. So, Prometheus. It was weird watching it this afternoon and seeing Tabs in 3D on the big screen… Made his tum look extra huge.
Frankly, I thought Tabs was the best thing about the film. He was great in it, but the story just didn’t live up to my expectations.
P.P.S. For more of America’s huskiest diva kitty supermodel/actor, check out the archives here.

I was refreshing the home page for Sundays With Tabs and…OMG! Too awesome for words. *faint*
Karen says
Hi, peach. Tabs wanted me to say thank you and to wish you a great week. 🙂
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
Tabs totally looks like he’d have a part in MIB!
Karen says
He was a shoe-in for the part!
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
aw thats too bad about Prometheus being kind of meh…but I had a feeling it would be based on the trailers. It just seemed like the story line was a little…confused and that the main draw were the special effects (as a lot of movies are these days)
Karen says
You’ve got to watch the version Tabs is in! It’s way better.
Twyla says
I absolutely love Tabs and his modeling abilities, he adapts to everything!!
And thanks Karen for helping me laugh so hard this morning that coffee came out my nose!! good times at the office for sure today!!
Karen says
Hi Twyla,
You’re welcome! I’ll let Tabs know you send your love.
Have a great week. 🙂
Naomi says
I did so want to see Prometheus! Not sure now, ok maybe just to see Tabs! hehe
Karen says
Hi Naomi,
He plays quite an important role as a kitty scientist. 😉
Ruchita says
My favorite is MIB. Tabs looks super cool in shades and I like how his belly is covering his back feet. The same thing happens with Ella and her low hanging belly. It’s great to see plus size kitties represented in Hollywood. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Ruchita,
Hee hee! I was wondering if anyone would notice that. You know it’s all about the big kittehs!
Nina says
I love love love Huntsman Tabby!
Karen says
Hi Nina,
That’s one of Tabs’ favorite roles. He loved working with Charlize.
Nina says
And I am sure Charlize felt the same way! 😉
musical says
Tabs is amazing in all these flicks! Way to go Mr. Fierce Feline!
Karen, thank you so much for covering the fashion and cinema adventures of Tabs!
Karen says
Hi Musical,
You’re welcome. 😉 I’m just happy to be around such talent!
Kim says
HAHA! I loved all of these!
I’m sorry you didn’t like Prometheus more. What did you think of True Blood? It looks like it could be a good season, and we haven’t even seen your Un-Stabler head of the Authority yet! 🙂
Karen says
Hi Kim,
I haven’t watched True Blood, so no spoilers yet! Did you like Prometheus?
Erin says
I can’t wait to see MIB and Cats this summer!! Tabs looks excellent in sunnies!
Karen says
Tabs tells me that a contract with Ray Ban is in the works.
Jennifer says
HULK TABS! You look especially marvelous in green! The wide-eyed Captain Americat was some great casting there too! I’ll be the first in line to get a signed (paw-printed?) poster at Comic-Cat-Con!
mn says
I can just imagine Tabs telling the evil queen exactly what he thinks of her.
Karen says
You know the language would be “colorful” LOL!
