Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 551

April 28th, 2019 by Karen 119 Comments

This is very hard to do, and I’m trying to do it without falling apart, but I can’t guarantee that I won’t…

If you’ve been with MBB since the beginning, you know that one of the cornerstones of the blog is Tabs, our — and I mean our as in all of us — our sweet, sassy kitty model extraordinaire.

There’s no easy way to tell you this, but my constant companion for the last 12 years will soon be leaving this earth.

We got news from the vet last week that Tabs has terminal cancer, and that if we’re lucky, he’ll be with us for anywhere from three to six weeks.

Not even that is a guarantee, though. He could be here for a day, two days… I just don’t know. And it’s been difficult to process all of this. On one hand, part of me wants to say, “You sweet, sweet cat. You came home to say goodbye to us and to let us have more time with you, and even as you’re on the kitty runway to heaven, you’re allowing me, El Hub, Connor and all of your fans to spend a little extra time with you, and to try to fathom how it’s going to be when you’re gone, just to allow us to love you a little bit longer.”

I can’t believe that this cat who has taught me so many things about love, and the unconditional giving of love, is still teaching me things… How to grieve and how to mourn.

The following pics were taken today on our morning walk.

I read somewhere once that grief is a lot like standing on the shore of the ocean when the tide is high and the waves pummel you over and over again. You don’t know if you’re going to drown, and then when the tide goes out, occasionally, it’ll touch you and your toes. Then, when it’s really far out but your feet are still wet, and you barely perceive it?

That’s what I’ve been feeling for the past few days. It alternates between the sense of dread of knowing that the house will be empty without him, but knowing how it’ll feel, if that makes any sense…



I’m wondering how our family will be — our family of four — how it will be as a family of three, and wondering how can I try to be happy or joyful when I feel this weight on my heart. And I feel foolish for not always paying as much attention to him as I should have, especially over the last few years… I feel foolish when he seems to have a good day, and I see sparks of his old tabby self — a little bit of cattitude, a lot of love, and the part of me that wants to hope, it says, “Oh, maybe a miracle will happen. Maybe he’ll get better.” But I know that’s not possible.

I know that after he leaves us, that life will go on, but I don’t know how it’s going to feel.

I wonder if I’ll ever be as happy as I have been with him in my life. I know that sounds so dramatic, but he’s been my constant companion every day for more than 12 years.

My best friend. 💖

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Oh Karen. I am so very sorry. It’s never easy to lose a pet, especially one that’s been with you for so long. Take solace in knowing that as much as he has enriched your lives all these years, you all have done the same for him.

    so sorry to hear about Tabs being sick…
    It’s hard to find words, but I want to say – your cat is wonderful!
    And though he lives so far away from me, it feels like I know Tabs (and you!) very well.

    My heart is breaking for you, and I totally identify with everything you have said after losing four beloved dogs, including one who was with me for 13 and another for nearly 15. They are our family and who have been with us through so many important parts of lives—it is so very hard to get ready to say goodbye and the grief and void left in our lives. You and your family have my heartfelt love, hugs, and prayers. Tabs has left his precious little footprints on all of our hearts.

    I’m so sorry to hear about Tabs, Karen. I loved getting to know Tabs through your posts. I went through something similar when my childhood cat Mario was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year. It’s not easy when they are such a huge part of our family and daily lives. I hope Tabs finds peace and comfort and gets spoiled with lots of love and favorite treats and toys. We did that for Mario and near the end, he seemed at peace and happy to be surrounded with his favorite people. I’ll keep you guys in my thoughts through this tough time.

    Oh Karen, I am so heartbroken to hear about Tabs. Don’t ever feel foolish that you didn’t pay enough attention to him. Everyone that has followed you through the years has seen and felt the incredible love that you have felt for Tabs, how much attention you have given him, and how much he has meant to you and your family. That is the terrible price that we pay for loving our animals so much – that we know they will never be with us for long enough, and some day we will have to say goodbye. It won’t be easy, but part of him will always be with you, and you will have the love and support of all of us that follow you. Thank you so much for sharing Tabs with all of us for so many years. He has been a gift to us all, and we will all miss him so much. Treasure the time you have left, and know that you and your family and Tabs are in our prayers. God Bless You and give you peace.

    Much love

Take comfort in all the good moments he provided you and in the knowledge that you have given him an amazing life full of fun, care and love. There will never be another tabs. And that’s how it’s supposed to be, no cat should be forced to fill such big shoes (paws?). Be strong. We are here with you. Best, Luiza.

    I very rarely post comments but hearing about Tabs has moved me to say something. There are no words to take away the pain and grief. It was 3yrs ago last week we lost one of our dogs to cancer. I know the pain well and i am here to say in time the pain will lessen. You will never stop missing Tabs and I never will stop missing my dog but in time the pain of loss will be replaced with all the wonderful memories. You won’t feel that crushing grief when you think of Tabs but you will smile and feel he is and always will be part of your life and family.

    Karen, Life won’t be the same. It will be rough and it will seem the grey cloud that hovers over you will never lift. I promise you, eventually it will. Ever so slightly day by day there will come one day that you’ll smile. You won’t even realize it. I put away all my photos of my 3 that passed away within 18mths. I couldn’t bear to see them. It was years before I could talk about them or look at them without physically feeling ill.

    I can now laugh and remember the funny things they all did and crazy ways they acted or how sweet they were. The one time the 3 of them in cahoots strew the calculator paper for my payroll when I was working and accidentally left it out overnight. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I had more of a gut reaction when my cat I raised from less than one pound passed away unexpectedly at only 10 yrs young, than I did to relatives passing away. I had a nervous breakdown. Really. 🙄 I know. Sounds stupid. You have to let yourself grieve. No matter how you do it, just do it. Make sure you have friends and family who support you and can listen without scoffing ‘he is just a cat’ THOSE people you can’t talk to, they will hurt your heart.

    I pray for you and Tabs and the family. It’s tough. I’ve had two with cancer (not the 3 above) I had to let one go at 13 & one at 15 years old. Both sisters had cats that lived to be 19 & 20 but kidney disease took them. Everyones grief is personal, and we don’t all grieve the same way. Find a way that makes you feel good. That makes your heart lighter. I promise. I PROMISE, it will get better with time. I love you and your Tabs. =^••^=

I know how an animal’s love enriches our lives and how heartbreaking it is that their lives are so short. I know it’s ridiculous to tell you not to feel guilty, but remember that you gave him a wonderful life and were an attentive and loving assistant.

    What helped me was keeping his social media up and encouraging my friends to talk about him.

    We lost our beloved Fanny, our gateway pug, six months ago to cancer. She was my third daughter. I will miss her all the years of my life. However, the day she let us know it was time to let her go, a friend I grew up with sent me a message that a pug had been dumped at her house the night before. Fanny knew we would be a family without a pug and so she waited for a pug without a family. A month later another friend I grew up with gave us a pug because she was leaving the state. Two months later, my husband and daughter were walking thatbsecond pug when they were stopped by people on our street saying they had pug puppies for sale. Fanny passed on October 25th, these puppies were born December 27th, pugs are pregnant for 8 weeks. So we bought our puppy. In six months I have felt every feeling. Being so distraught at losing Fanny that the thought of going with her crossed my mind (briefly and only because it hurt so badly), to the happiness of having two pugs, to the frustration of having a puppy, and to knowing that while things are different, and I will always always miss Fanny, life goes on and she would be so happy that we are sharing our love with more pugs.

    We also have her ashes, and that has helped having her home with us.

    I’m so sorry about Tabs, love him, kiss him, cry on him, for as long as you have him. He has been so much fun to get to know through you!

If he will accept it give him a kiss, pat, or little hug from me. Let the waves come and go, take time, breathe, and you will find a new balance.

    Karen, my heart breaks for you. Our Persian cat Smokey passed away from cancer back in October of 2014. He was 15 years old, and we had him for 14 years. It was one of the most horrible things I’ve have ever had to go through. We have one child, our daughter, and she was 7 when we got the cat, and she was 21, when he passed. She grew up with Smokey as her little brother. I’m so sorry to hear that sweet Tabs has cancer. My cat had cancer on his tongue. I found out really late about it though. He was getting bumps/acne around his mouth, so I took him to the vet. He was salivating, because of the tumor on his tongue. Poor kitty. Anyway, we found out he had a tumor, and within 2 weeks, he was put down. Very sad. Just thinking about what you’re going through, is filling me with tears. I will be praying for you, Tabs, and your entire family. I am especially emotional now, because the cat we got back in 2015, from a rescue, was taken from us by the woman who runs the rescue. We haven’t seen our cat since April 1st. Long story short, the woman took our cat for dental surgery, and won’t give us the cat back. The worst part is that she was charging us $990 for the surgery. When I called to confirm the bill amount, the University of Penn Vet Hospital, in Philadelphia, said that they had not operated on our kitty. We found out that it was done at a community college’s vet department in NJ. The college told me, that the woman who brought the cat in (rescue lady), was not charged for the surgery. The college doesn’t charge rescues for surgery. It’s a thing they do as a courtesy. The rescue woman told my daughter, that unless we agreed to pay all future medical expenses for the cat, and pay for the surgery bill, that we couldn’t have the cat back. We’ve had this cat for 3 1/2 years. I have been depressed and anxious the past few weeks, because of this. Sometimes, I just start crying. I feel so lonely that the cat isn’t here. But, I’m still fighting to get her back. It has now become a police matter, so I should be hearing something soon, on how to precede. They told me that it is considered theft, fraud, and extortion. The woman’s cat rescue should really be shut down. She’s probably stealing other people’s kitties as well. We just hope our kitty Shoshi can come back to us, and that she is alright. Sorry to lay all this on you. I will be praying for your kitty and ours without ceasing. Again, I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. This is one of the hardest things to deal with in life. Hugs and prayers for you Karen.

    I’m so sorry. Pets are members of the family and as such they are so hard to say goodbye to. I’ve lost pets and the solace I took was that I made their lives as comfortable and happy as I could make it. Tabs will be missed.

    Karen,
    I’m so saddened to hear this. Life can be so cruel with how it deals out events like this for us to endure. It will be hard dealing with the grief and pain in the beginning, but know that time and understanding friends and family will help heal this pain. There will come a point when you can reminesce without feeling that lump in your throat, I promise. But allow yourself the time to grieve. You and Tabs have experienced many life-changing events together over the years, and the impact of this must be felt and acknowledged before acceptance and healing begins.
    I also lost my beloved 15-year old kitty 8 months ago, and I still think of her almost every day. I swear, crazy as it sounds, sometimes I feel her walking across my pillow at night like she used to every night. Perhaps Tabs will also maintain his guardianship over your family, ensuring everyone is kept safe, sound, and comforted.

    Fighting back tears… So sorry and saddened to hear this. I know what you’re feeling and it hurts. I hope Tabs can carry out his days with little pain. I recently started following the Instagram account of James Middleton (brother of the Dutchess). He had a lovely tribute to one of his dogs that said something like, “yes, pets die. But they live up until the moment they pass.” Wishing you some comfort xxxooo

She’s in my prayers every day and you will be, too. My sadness is palpable, as I’m sure is yours, but at least you are young enough to have another fur friend. God bless you all . . .

I’m not usually someone who cries much, but the tears are coming today. The garden is the my best place to connect with the divine and I’ll be going there to pray for Tabs. You are a wonderful cat mom and you’ll always have a special bond with Tabs through all eternity. Sending much love and blessings to you, Tabs, Conner Claire and El Hub. Please give Tabs a hug from me and thank him for enriching all of our lives.

    I’ve been with MBB, you and Tabs since the beginning, although I don’t comment much. I never, ever fail to click on Sundays with Tabs. As the mother to 2 elderly rescue cats, I truly, sincerely feel your pain. One of my babies was scheduled to be put down a few months ago at 3 in the afternoon, when the vet called me that morning and said, “It’s a complete miracle, but he’s going to pull through.” These second chances to show our love and receive theirs are the most bittersweet thing, because you know the clock is ticking. These pictures are glorious; he is clearly pain-free, enjoying his walk and being back in his (your) world. Big hugs to you all, but especially to you and Tabs. God bless you.

    I’ve been a long-time reader. I check your blog almost every day and I’m guilty of not leaving a comment. I was however featured on your St. Patrick’s Day post several years back 🙂

    I have seen tabs every week for years and I look forward to the Sunday posts that are usually focused on him and full of puns or pics. I myself adopted a cat five years ago and she is my everything. My close friend who recently lost her pet and I have seen her go through the motions, so I can only imagine what you might be feeling. I am grateful you have coywolf and your hubby in your life. You have forever changed his life and gave him a happy healthy home. You will be reunited with him one day and please enjoy every minute with tabs. Take the time you need. I appreciate you letting us know. I am actually a therapist in real life and I am happy to connect with you at any time if I can help provide support. I am about to undergo a back surgery myself soon and I know friends are always welcome to help boost morale. ❤️❤️Lots of love, support. and well wishes for tabs and fam

I was already teary-eyed when you wrote the post awhile back about Tabs getting older and you were already in a way preparing your heart for the time when the rainbow bridge (for Tabs it would be a rainbow-festooned catwalk/runway) would appear for Tabs to do his final earth-strut to the fabulous fashion empire in the sky. Cherish every moment with Tabs, El Hub, Coywolf, and yourself, take a big break if you need to. Your MBB fam will be here thinking you, sending love and giant, mascara-run hugs.

I can only remember Mont(something) (maybe) and have tried to find it online today, but to no avail. If you wouldn’t mind sharing that, I’m sure there are many of us who would like to send you a note of cheer.

    Karen, I’m so sorry to hear about Tabs. One of the reasons I liked your blog was because Tabs looked identical to my tabby Lyle, who had the same markings and coat color. I rescued Lyle when he was a baby and we were really close. I lost him to stomach cancer 2 years ago. I tried chemotherapy but unfortunately lost Lyle after a few months of treatment. He was such an emotional and intelligent cat. It sounds sappy, but on the day Lyle passed I took the day off work and we cuddled on the couch together. I’ll never forget the way he looked at me, right into my eyes. He looked at me for a long time and held my gaze as if to say he knew he was sick and he would have to leave me. I’ll never forget it. He was such a remarkable cat like your Tabs. Enjoy your remaining time with your kitty.

    Please, enjoy all the time left with him. Give him all your love, all the food he’s craving, even if it is kinda “unhealthy”, this doesn’t matter anymore. Enjoy and cuddle up as much as possible.
    My thoughts are with you, I had a blog post on this topic, too and was deeply touched by all the good wishes.

    Karen, I read your post and just had to comment. I don’t usually post comments but I really wanted to say I am thinking of you and your family.

    I am so, so sorry to hear about Tabs. I have always enjoyed reading your posts featuring Tabs and your cat-related humour. My husband has always found your Tabs/cat posts really entertaining too. Tabs has always brought such a fun and unique dimension to your site. It’s so wonderful to see how he has grown over the years and become a companion to your little girl as well.

    Pets are members of the family just like us and it is heartbreaking when they leave us. We lost our cat Sophie a few years ago and it was heartbreaking. The house felt so strange without her and there are times when I still expect to see her when I go over to visit my parents (she was my parents’ cat, so a family cat). We used to call her my mum’s ‘Shadow’ as she was just like that, my mum’s constant companion, always with her.

    All I can say is that Tabs will live on in you and your family’s memories of him. He has enriched your life, been part of it, been part of your family and that will never leave you. We still talk about Sophie, look at photos, share memories and think of her. Just like any family member, we had such joy having her in our lives, mourned her loss, miss her and find comfort remembering her and sharing memories.

    I am thinking of you and your family.

    Oh Karen, such heartbreaking news…

    You know I’ve been through this with Odin and the only way I could look at it was that it had been a privilege to share my life with him and to accompany him right to the very end of his life.

    It’s possible to have such a bond with a cat that it’s agony to have to let them go. I don’t think they ever actually leave us – I’ve never had any experience with clairvoyance or spiritualism or anything like that, but Odin communicated with me for the first three days after he left and I was astonished. When the time came to think about another cat, I asked him to send us the right one at the right time and he did.

    My dear Karen, I may be many miles away in the UK but my heart goes out to you and you and darling Tabs will be in my prayers. XXXXX

    Karen, I so deeply sorry. For not being consistent with coming onto MB&B as often it as consistently as I used to, otherwise I would have have read this sad update on Sunday and said something then. Instead, I only began to know something was wrong when I saw today’s IG post and then immediately came on with a sense of foreboding in my gut. Then to backtrack back to this announcement, and that’s when the tears came. For you. For Tabs. For Connor Claire and El Hub. And for every reader who also became attached to Tabs. I mean, who wouldn’t, right? Such a huge Purrsonality and cattatude (but in a really good way!), of course we love him! This is just such sad news. I lost one of my favorite kitties a few years ago to FIV. She, too, was fairly young at 12 ½. It was heart-wrenching. For the longest time I kept thinking she’d suddenly jump up and tap me with her paw for attention, or that I would hear her low growly meow, or that I’d wake up and she’d be right there by my side ready to start the day. But, of course, that never happened. I won’t lie, I know this will be a very hard stretch for you band yours. Savor every single happy, playful, cuddles moment now. Don’t beat yourself up over times when you may have lost some time with Tabs, life just plain happens. We all get distracted. We never see this coming. None of us do, I believe. Much love and hugs to you and Tabs. Well, chin scritches for Tabs, because some strange Cat-Lady coming up and hugging him would be kinda crazy!

    I’m soo deeply sorry for the news. I have a cat myself and I know just how much we love them and how many times a day I tell my Galileo that I love him.
    In your heart you know you gave him the best life possible – a safe home, a loving family, best health care and food, toys and nature to play in. This might console you a bit, but the grief is inescapably huge.

    I’ve only just seen this post Karen, I’m so sorry to hear this. I have loved and lost a number of cats over the years and it’s heart breaking when they go. Try and focus on the fact that you have given Tabs a wonderful life for 12 years and how much he has enjoyed being with you and your family, remember all the lovely times you’ve shared. I can feel a lump in my throat thinking about my own cats from through my life and how much I still miss them years later. I am sure they never really leave though, I am sure they are just round a corner, just out of sight. Big hugs from the other side of the pond. XXX

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).
