There were a few months — a very brief window — when Tabs was just, like, checked out and burnt out from kitty modeling, and he actually packed up all of his things and headed to big sky country in order to pursue cowboy life.
Yes, it’s totally true! I guess I should’ve become suspicious when he had me play Bon Jovi’s acoustic version of Dead or Alive on repeat for three weeks straight. Next thing you know, I’m ordering cowboy boots, 10-gallon hats and elaborate belt buckles (which, believe me, are not easy to find for overweight tabby cats).
Don’t ask me why I was so shocked when he announced one day that we were moving to his ranch in Montana.
To be honest, I actually really loved it there. I liked being off the grid, and I appreciated Tabs’ affinity for horses. Looking at him, you wouldn’t think he was a horse cat. I mean, he was all soft paws and immaculately groomed fur, but he got down and dirty, man! Ranch life suited him well.
There were a few instances when I could have sworn he was communicating with his ponies telepathically. I asked him about it once while we were cooking beans out of a can over a campfire, and he said that he felt a deep camaraderie with the horses. He admired their inability to be tamed.
Obviously, we came back to the Bay Area. His tech companies kept calling, and the fashion people eventually found us, so he had to return to real life, and so did I.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Even Tabs needed a break sometimes. 🙂 Beautiful pics, btw! I think Connor inherited Tabs’ affinity for horses. And, on a related note, have you been watching the new TV show Big Sky? I think it would benefit from a bit less creep and a bit more horses. HAHA!

I haven’t heard of it. Is it Hulu or Netflix? I just started watching Virgin River season 2!
