Once upon a time, there lived a handsome tabby supermodel in a village called Novato. One day, the tabby asked his assistant if he could visit his agent who lived in a village on the other side of the forest, and his assistant said, “Of course, Tabs. You have a non-exclusive contract and can visit your agent any time you want, but please be careful, and don’t dilly-dally, because the forest can be a dangerous place. Go straight there, and text me when you arrive so I know you’re alright.”
“Sure, sure,” said the tabby. “Peace out.”
But when the tabby noticed a bird’s nest high up in a tree, he forgot his promise to his assistant. He watched the birds flit about, listened to some chirping and even attempted, unsuccessfully, to climb the tree.
The tabby was enjoying the day so much that he wandered off the trail and became lost.
He tried retracing his steps, but that only led him in a circle. “Man, this sucks,” said the tabby, “and I can’t even get a signal on my phone!”
Just when he was starting to worry if he was ever going to have another can of gravy, the tabby heard a familiar sound.
“Tabs! Tabby! Where are you?”
It was the voice of his assistant calling to him in the distance, and he promptly followed it back home.
When he walked up to the door, it opened, and there stood his assistant. “When you didn’t text me,” she said, “I called your agent. What happened to you? Where did you go?”
“I’m the CFO [Chief Feline Officer] of this company. I can go wherever I want,” said the tabby, and his assistant frowned.
Secretly, though, the tabby was relieved and grateful. His assistant may have saved his life, or at least his night. It’s true what they say: Good help is hard to find. ❤️
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Tabs looks so cute in his little red riding hood! I’m glad he found his way back home. <3
Becca says
Kareem seriously have you ever thought of writing children’s books?!? I was like on the edge of my seat reading that and it just dawned on me – it would be great to have a series of Tabs stories!!! I would purchase for sure!
Anyway hope all is well for you. Still follow you faithfully and love hearing about your trip to Hawaii and of course, Connor Claire!
Peace out, (as Tabs says)
Becca!
Tatiana says
I agree with Becca, you’re a fantastic story teller and would make a great children’s author. This story has the same feel as the “Good Dog Carl” books, which by the way don’t have any words, just illustrations.

I love Tab’s hood and cape !
Glad he returned home safe !
Have a Happy Sunday !
Julie says
I was worried something happened to Tabs! Thankfully everything turned out ok. I second what Becca said – you should write a children’s book series with Tabs the Sleuth. Glad he’s some again!!

That cape is really stylish on Tabs. I happen to have an exact copy myself which I wear when I perform one of my monologues… (True!)
The thought of him never getting a can of gravy again was almost too much to bear..!

I’m so glad Tabs found his way back home and to his favorite gravy. He always looks so stylish. I’m loving his little red coat. Can’t wait to hear about his next adventure and see pictures. I love Tabs posts!
