Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 556

June 2nd, 2019 by Karen 7 Comments

You know you’re a cat lady when you do the following:

  1. Buy a catnip plant that you keep in your front yard — not just for your cat, but for all of the neighborhood kitties.
  2. You never feel fully dressed unless you have a handful of cat treats in your pocket or a can of gravy in your purse.
  3. You make up new song lyrics for your favorite tunes, replacing words with references to your cat.

El Hub and I will be cruising down the highway and a song will come on the radio, and suddenly we’ll start singing the Tabs version that suited his personality or what he was doing at a particular time in his professional life. Treasure by Bruno Mars is still one of my faves. I heard it this morning on my run. When Bruno sings, “Pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl, you should be smiling,” I hear “Pretty boy, pretty boy, pretty boy, pretty boy tabby!”

Sing it out loud. Trust me it works.

But THE BEST is Fleetwood Mac’s Little Lies.

Replace “tell me lies” with “tabby thighs,” so instead of “Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies,” we have, “Tabby thighs, touch his sweet tabby thighs.”

You’re welcome. 😊

Another favorite is I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys. This one is more of a straight-up ode.

Let me ask you this: Is Tabs your fire? Your one desire? Believe when I say, “Tabs wants it that way.”



Oops! I Did It Again by Britney Spears was an El Hub creation. “Oops! Tabs did it again. He played with my heart. Got lost in the crowd.”

I’m pretty sure those lyrics are completely wrong, but he still made it work. I just stood in the corner and did a slow clap. 👏

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I prefer these Tab-ified lyrics.

    Mina was once crying on the way to the vet (she was a free spirit who did not like to be contained) so I made her her own version of “That’s What I Like” by Bruno Mars – “Flea collar shining so bright, kitty food in a bowl at night, lucky for you that’s what I like, that’s what I like.”

    Oh my gosh, El Hub. That made me laugh out loud. Hey, it’s close enough. The Hubs once clapped one of our cat’s front paws together to Lady Gaga while singing “I live for the a-paws, a-paws, a-paws”. We still kinda laugh at that. And non-cat related, I was watching TV the other day instead of cleaning and substituted for Buckcherry with “sigh, I’m a lazy b*tch”. Sad but true. HAHA! I hope you all had a great weekend and some nice weather!!

    Oh my gosh I thought I was the only person who did that!! Lately we’re having a Simon and Garfunkel moment (Hello Watson my old friend, I’ve got a lap for you again)

    He also talks to us and has his own “voice” that we use when it’s his side of the conversation. I have found myself getting into arguments with my cat, which I always lose, even though I’m responsible for both sides…

    Aaww, Karen . . so sweet, and nice of you to share. And, yup, still tearing, but not wildly.

    My hub and I used portmanteau with our Amy; calling her
    Amyvanderkelen, from her name, Amy, with Amy Vanderbilt, of etiquette fame, and Ron Vander Kelen, of football fame.

    (Ronald Vander Kelen (November 6, 1939 – August 14, 2016) was an American football quarterback.[1] He played at the collegiate level at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and is best known for his MVP performance in the 1963 Rose Bowl, where he broke several Rose Bowl records, some of which still stand. In that game, he orchestrated a legendary fourth quarter comeback attempt against the USC Trojans in the first #1 (USC) versus #2 (Wisconsin) bowl game in college football history. Vander Kelen was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 1991.)

    Maybe TMI! But you get the idea!

    Make yourself the best day; hugs to EH, CC,

    Love,
    L

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).
