Professionally, in the kitty modeling world, Tabs has a reputation for being intense and driven, and he is definitely those things. Like, I’ve read ridiculous rumors on gossip blogs about his so-called diva behavior, but I’m here to set the record straight. Most of the rumors aren’t true. According to one of these blogs, Tabs is said to have thrown his iPhone at me, but that never happened. He actually threw my phone! — and it barely grazed my head.
Other rumors, like that he swats his water bowl or refuses to eat when he doesn’t get enough gravy, are also patently false. He will always eat his food, no matter what. He’s really not a diva at all. He’s actually very sweet, and I feel like I’m lucky because I get to see the real Tabs.
His sweetness shines through when we’re just hanging out together doing simple things, like when we go for our walks around the neighborhood. He’s kind and considerate and always down to hang out, like a good friend.
Of course he enjoys bird watching, obviously, but he also likes to sit for long periods of time to take in the sights and sounds of our neighborhood and our hill. He also likes guiding me to the best flowers to sniff and plants to explore.
Here are some of the pictures we snapped this morning. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Look at him, even if he is off-duty he is still practicing the kitty-with-a-leaf-poses. A driven person, never not working!

I love you Tabs!! The leaf hat is the best ever. Xoxoxo and kitty-scritches!
musical says
Tabs you look so handsome and adorable (like, I will never get tired of saying this).
So nice that you take the time to survey your territory and go for walks with your assistant. Pay no attention to those rumors in gossip magazines. We all know your fluffy, softer side :). Purrs and meows.

Tabs is so cute!! I can walk Tulip on a leash but only in the backyard. I don’t trust her to go anywhere else since she easily gets spooked. I love the look on your face when he climbed the tree!
Alexandra says
Awww Tabs is awesome. Tell him my tuxes Vince and Loki say meow.
Heloisa says
