A lot of people don’t know that Tabs was considered a ballet prodigy, among his many other extraordinary skills and accomplishments, and rose to stardom despite not starting ballet until the age of 3.
But two years later, he won the Novato Music Center Spotlight Award as the best dancer in Novato, California. Shortly thereafter, he became the first American Shorthair to be promoted to principal dancer in the Novato Ballet Theater’s 12-year history.
As if that weren’t impressive enough, he also served as Head Pastry Chef at Le Chat, Novato’s premier eatery for cats, and was named The World’s Best Catnip Pastry Chef in 2015.
On top of all that, between kitty modeling stints and his years as a chef and professional feline football player, he was also an award-winning feline fisherman.
Sure, most people know about his kitty modeling feats, but Tabs was so much more than that. It’s truly amazing just how remarkable he was at so many different things. ❤️😊
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
