My dear friends. Our sweet Tabs left this world on Monday afternoon. It was peaceful and painless, and he was surrounded by so, so much love.
I’m not ready to talk about it yet, but I wanted to let you know what was going on, and to thank you for your support and love.
Thank you for loving him.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I am so sorry Karen. God bless Tabs and your family in this difficult time.
Oh Karen! I am so very sorry for your loss. I know your heart is breaking into a million pieces. Give yourself plenty of time to heal. So good to know that Tabs had you to love.
With heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. May it help you to know how much others care and how we loved Tabs. He was so special.
Karen, I have no words… I’m so sorry for your loss…
I’m so sorry for your loss Karen. Tabs was an amazing cat and I’ll ask my doggehs not to chase him up in pet heaven. Take good care of yourself. ❤️
Karen, I’m so very sorry. You and your family are in my prayers during this trying time. May you find comfort in the knowledge that you gave him an amazing life full of love, hugs, beautiful gardens and fabulous kitty patrols around the neighbourhood. I’m sure he continues to watch over you with tremendous love.
Sending you a big hug.
Karen, I’m so sorry. Sending love and fondly remembering your sweet kitty boy.
I’m so sorry Karen and Hubs and Connor.
OK BRB, heading out of the office for a short walk to be teary where no one will see. Remember to wear your Chanel, everybody.
Just had to do the same exact thing 🙂
I am so sorry. I will miss seeing him in your posts. So hard to adjust to a changed life after the passing of our special animals. My condolences.
I’m so sorry that you are going through this. Just know in your heart that you saved him: you gave him love, you made him your fuzzy baby, and he had a life he could never have had without you. And in exchange, he loved you a lifetime’s worth in the time that he had. You made him a better Tabs, and he made you the person you are today. He will always be your Tabs. And the devastating sorrow you now feel will be replaced by the knowledge that he was and always will be your gift.
Karen, so very very sorry. I understand completely the sorrow you must feel losing your little furry one. It brings a tear to my eye. Tabs was LOVED as much as possible, and you gave him a loving home, and we could all see how much he was cherished. Keep your memories close, and know that he loved you too.
I’m so sorry to hear about tabs, I will missed his Sunday post.
So, so sorry, Karen. I’ll be thinking of you today.
I’m so sorry Karen. He was so, so loved and I send my love to you, El Hubs, and Connor Claire. I hope my friend Kortni is up there waiting for him.
I’m so sorry. You had a great life together.
So, so sorry Karen!! He was loved by your awesome family and by so many others. Sending hugs to you, El Hubs and Connor Claire.
So so sorry to hear this. Tabs knew how loved he was, and what a handsome wonderful boy he was. Lots of love to you and the family.
Rest in peace, sweet angel.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Tabs was such a special boy. He was so loved and cared for by you and many others around the world. Thank you for sharing him with us. Sending you and your family lots of love and hugs.
Karen, I’m so sorry. We all know how much you loved him.
I’m so sorry, Karen.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Karen. You gave him a wonderful life. Thank you for sharing him with us. May he rest in peace.
I’m so very sorry.
Oh, Karen, I’m so sorry. I’ve been reading your blog for years and it always brightened my day to see Tabs. You gave him so many great years and he brought joy to so many other people as well through your blog. Sending love to you and your family <3
RIP beloved boy and condolences to your family. You brought so much joy to many and the impact you made will never be forgotten.
Warm and tight hugs, Karen.
Rest in peace, Tabs.
My deepest sympathy….
My dear Karen
So sorry gór your loss .
I know how much you loved him.
I will miss him
I’m so so sorry for your loss! You were a wonderful cat mom!
I’m so sorry Karen. He was the best kitty. I hope you can find some peace. ???
I’m so sorry, Karen. Thank you for sharing Tabs with us for all these years. He will be greatly missed. Your blog is a beautiful memorial to him and I’m so glad to hear that his passing was the best that any of us could hope for (painless, peaceful and surrounded by love). My deepest sympathy to you all in this very sad time. <3
Rest in peace dear Tabs, I will miss you. Karen, I am so sorry to hear this news, but remember Tabs is just around a corner, just out of sight … he will never really leave you. Sending hugs. XXX
It’s not good bye, it’s just see you later. I know I’m some way you and Tabs will meet again.
Please do not feel you have to talk about it; sympathy and love are beyond words.
❤️
Awwww. I am so so sorry. I totally understand what u r going thru! My family very recently went thru something similar. My love is with you! Stay strong ?
So sorry Karen- he was a beautiful cat.
I’m so very sorry Karen. There aren’t words to express how sorry I am. But you were so loved, and he was so loved by you. You were exactly what each other needed and Tabs will never be forgotten.
Sending you lots and lots of hugs and love! He knows how much you loved him! Please take good care.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been reading your blog for years and have always enjoyed your posts with Tabs.
So sorry that you lost a dear member of your family. Hugs dear Karen.. You will be missed, Tabs. Enjoy cat heaven. ❤️
Much love to you and the family.
Hugs.
Thinking of you, Tabs, and your family at this sad time. RIP Mr. Tabs
I’m so sorry to hear about Tabs. Lots of love to you and your family. I’m sure you will see each other again one day.
No words help the loss you feel. Know that you are wished peace and solace during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. We’re all thinking of you!
I’m so sorry for your loss. He was such a great cat.
My sympathy. I’m so sorry you didn’t get a longer time with him. He knew he was loved, I’m crying myself and I only knew him through you. Bless you.
So very sorry about Tabs and that you and your family are going through this. Thinking of you. *Hugs* ❤️❤️
Noooooo. I’m so sorry. My heart goes out to you.
I am so so sorry for your loss. If I could give you a hug right now, I would!!
I’m so sorry you didn’t get longer with him. He knew he was loved, adored and cared for. I’m crying and I didn’t know him except through you. I know there’s nothing that can be said to make you feel better, emotional pain cuts so much deeper that the physical. Bless you all. Time heals but it never quite lifts completely.
Oh Karen…you and Tabs have been on my mind. I’m so emotional about this, because we went through the same thing back in 2014 with our precious cat Smokey. He had cancer too. It makes me want to cry all day. Glad that Tabs is at peace now. Hugs and prayers for you Karen.
Take whatever time you need. Thank you for letting us be part of Tabs life.
I am so sorry, Karen. Sending you so much love right now. When I lost my sweet boy a couple of months ago someone said to me, “If he could do it again, he would choose you as his mom.” As I think the same about Tabs and you. He would choose you again., if he had the choice. He knew so much love having you as his mom. So much love to you and the family, Karen. Take care of each other during this hard time. ❤️
I can’t believe I’m sitting at my desk crying. God bless you.
Oh, Karen! Sending love to you and your family right now.
I know how hard is to love a pet.
Sending you so much love and light <3
He had a wonderful life with a wonderful family
I’m sorry, Karen.
I am so sorry for your loss, Karen.
Tabs has been with you from the start! May we all have fond memories of Tabs and his antics.
Love,
B
Oh, Karen, I’m so sorry and sad to hear this news. We all loved Tabs, and we love you, too. Our hearts go out to you in this sad time. You gave him so much love and a wonderful life.
Karen, condolences to you and your family. Tabs and you were both so blessed to have each other and the kind of immense love you shared in your lives. May you find strength and comfort in all the precious memories of the time you spent with dearest Tabs. Hugs.
Oh Karen. I have been dreading this post–I am so so sorry. Please know that we’ll all be here whenever you are ready to come back and talk (or not talk). Grief is so personal and if you never feel like talking about it, that’s perfectly understandable and nobody will judge you. You and your family are close to my heart as you go through this very sad time.
Rest in peace, Tabs, you are so loved.
I’m so sorry to hear of Tabs passing Karen. The MBB will not be the same without him. I appreciate what you are going through having lost my own tabby a few years back, who also came to me as a stray and adopted me at a difficult time in my life. Cat love is a very special kind of love and I hope all your cherished memories of happier times will help you through this difficult time for you. You were lucky to have him in your life and he was lucky to have you! Take care
Very sorry for your loss.
RIP Tabs.
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of Tabs. He was the reason I joined your makeup site.He is playing with my pets and one day I will be at Rainbow Bridge when I am spotted and the circle of life will continue.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am sending you all my love.
I’m so sorry for your loss Karen. Rest In Peace Tabs.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Karen. Pets are part of our family, and we’ll never stop loving them.
Oh, Karen, I have been dreading this moment since you first delivered the terrible news. My heart is breaking for you and your family. I cannot thank you enough for sharing Tab’s final journey with all of us. You have been so generous and so, so brave. Tabs will live on in all our hearts and memories, and it will never be the same without him. Take care of yourself, and when you are ready, we will all be here for you. Rest in Peace, Tabs. You will be missed so much, and remembered with much love, always.
I’m so sorry for your (our?) loss, Karen. RIP and play hard at the Rainbow Bridge, sweet Tabs. Say hi to my departed fur-kids over there too. Until we all meet again when we cross over that bridge. you were loved and you are missed. XOXOXOXO
Georgia, Marbles & Josie
I’m so sorry that Tabs has passed. You and your family were so amazing to share everything with us. I wish him a peaceful passage over Rainbow Bridge and that you all have peace xx
Rest in Peace beautiful Tabs.
Dear Karen,
I’ve almost never commented on your website, but you and Tab have been part of my day for almost 5 years now and it’s with true sadness that I present you my sincere condolences.
I’m truly sorry for your loss, which is very felt inside your MBB community. Wherever he is, I’m sure that he knows that he was truly loved. He will be missed.
May he Rest In Peace.
Much love and positive vibrations to you and your family.
Oh, Tabs. <3 Karen, I am so sorry.
I know he is resting and happy now in the place our loved, innocent pets go. Sending you so many hugs right now. Love to you and your family.
I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing him with us. We love you!!
Till we meet again Tabs. Our Sundays were the best.
My deepest sympathy. He was a sweetie.
Literally bawling right now…what a devastating loss for you, your family and your readers who loved him. I know you don’t want to think about it right now, but when we had to put a beloved cat down when our daughter was 5, the vet told us to get 2 rescue kittens soon after, to help our daughter and us get over the loss. We said, “why 2???” She told us that they would play together and that having 2 cats was so much nicer for the kitties themselves, so they would have company when we went out of town. 13 years later, we still have those 2 rescue kitties and are so happy we followed her advice. No one will replace Tabs, but it is amazing how quickly your heart starts to heal. I have never felt more unprepared as a parent to help my child in dealing with the loss of her kitty than when I walked in the door ugly-crying after we had put her down. The promise of new kittens in a month’s time went a long way towards brightening my daughter’s spirits. I am so terribly sorry about your lovely little man Tabs, Karen. xoxo
I’m heartbroken! A cat that I never met but knew so much about. Thanks for sharing his life with us. My thoughts are with you.
I’m very sorry you had to say goodbye to your Tabs. We lost our beloved dog only about a week earlier, so I empathize. Tabs was a highlight of your blog and was sure to bring a smile to my face!
Thank you for sharing him with us. Big hugs for you, Connor, and El Hubs. When the time is right, hopefully another kitty supermodel will need adequate representation for their career. ❤️
Tabs will forever be in your heart, Karen.
I am so, so sorry for your loss! It won’t be the same without him. He was so loved.
My thoughts and sincere condolences are with you and your family. My sweet Maggie is caring for your sweet Tabs over the rainbow bridge.
So so sorry for your loss, I just loved seeing at beautiful boy in your posts, he will be missed by al of us ?????
Thank you for sharing Tabs with us all these years, Karen. He will be with you and your family forever. Please take all the time you need to grieve. We’ll be here when you come back. <3
So sorry, Karen. Tabs was more than loved: he was beloved. Remember the love you gave him, & how he returned it to you. There will be another for you.
My heartfelt condolences. It’s so very hard to lose a pet. Our oldest dog, went to pet Heaven in October and it devastates you.
Sending love and healing
Ilene
I’m so sorry that Tabs has passed. God bless and keep you. Tabs is with the Lord & with your family in heavenly places, safe in their loving care. So many of us have been where you are now, and I/we support you in any way you need. Bless you, sweetie!
The world won’t be the same without his cattitude, sass and love. But how lucky you are that you got to be his person.
I’m so sorry Karen. I’ve been following you and Tabs from the beginning. I never comment anymore. I’m an old lady myself now…..but I’ve still been watching and happy for you with the birth of your sweet daughter and now unfortunately, the death of Tabs. Take care and much love to you and your lovely family.
I’m so heartbroken for your loss, Karen. Tabs was such a good, sweet boy and it was so clear how much you both adored each other. You gave him a wonderful life and so much love and I hope it comforts you that Tabs knew how loved he was.
Karen,
I am so very sorry for your loss. He is running freely in heaven. You will see him again, I am sure.
Kelli
Karen, I am just heartbroken over the loss of your beloved Tabs. I started following your blog years ago because of him. I have been a lifelong lover of cats and years ago when I first saw Tabs and the love that you showed for him, I knew that you were a very special woman. I love all things when it comes to makeup, but just seeing the special relationship that you had with him always made me smile. My husband and I had to say goodbye to our beloved gray tabby, Louie, in February because of terminal cancer as well. He was 12 years old. I know how difficult this time is for you and your family. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of Louie and how much I miss him. We still have five rescue cats and they bring such joy to our lives. I hope that maybe after you have had some time to grieve properly, that you will think about getting another kitty. Someone as special as you deserves the love of another cat and you would give a kitty such a wonderful life filled with love.
Awww we’re really going to miss old Tabs. But we’ll always remember him.
Dear Karen, i’m so sorry for your loss. It is our loved ones that makes us who we are and i wish you patience and strength for rhis hard time.. May Tabs rest in peace and always know he will be loved and missed..
Blessings and love and strength to you and your family.
Dearest Karen – what a deep loss. Tabs was very dearly loved and cared for, he lived the best life he could have ever wanted. My deepest condolences. I’m a fellow cat lover and last year lost my first kitty. It was a very hard time. -internet hugs-
Karen, I burst into tears just reading the headline of your article. I know your precious boy was so loved. As mama to a furbaby who recently crossed the rainbow bridge, my heart is breaking for you. Hugs to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Karen. May you and your family find peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Karen, I am so very sorry for the loss of precious Tabs. He was the best kitty model ever, and we will all miss him so much, but of course not as much as you will. It’s so heartbreaking to lose a furry family member – it really is losing one of the family. Try to find comfort in knowing he’s at peace now, and waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. Hugs to all of you.
Dear Karen, really sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Tabs was a very special kitty. He spread so much love and happiness in your home and even to me. I loved seeing him in your blog. I’ll miss him as much as you do.
I’m so very sorry. He was such a sweet boy.
I’m sorry for your loss. Sending you love ❤️
God bless you and Tabs on journeys and know that when you reach the end of yours, he’ll be there waiting to welcome you home. Until then, find peace and love in the memories you hold in your heart.
I’m so sorry Karen. Tabs touched so many people and he will be missed so very much. The tears are really coming now. You and Tabs will always share a bond of love and he’ll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. He will always be with you. Sending you, El Hub and Conner Claire much love, strength and catlady hugs. Blessings of light and love to Tabs and you family.
I hope it will give you some comfort (when you are ready) to see these comments and realize how you brought so much happiness to your readers with your very creative photography, writing, and Tabs’ own special personality. I’m not aware of any other beauty blog with this special addition – condolences on your loss of a truly unique kitty.
Karen: I’m so sorry for your loss. The fashion world will not be the same. Your posts of him in various advertisements are priceless. He was an extraordinarily cat. I’m crying and only know him through your writings. Thank you for sharing him and giving him a voice and a sassy personality. I will miss is Sunday patrols in the neighborhood and his fashion sense. He is at the Rainbow Bridge waiting to give you hugs and lurvies.
Hugs to you, Karen.
Im so sorry, Karen. Tabs brought so many smiles to all of us. hugs to you and your family.
Sending you, El Hub and Connor all my love from PA. I found your blog just around the time my husband convinced me to get my first cat and I loved following your Tabs as I learned how to be a “Gato Mom”. He was truly lucky to have such a loving home. Thanks for sharing him with us. <3
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, Karen. May the days ahead provide you with all the kindness and comfort that’s needed for you and your family during this time of grief. ❤
Karen for almost 10 years I have followed you , Tabs , the birth of Connor Claire and El Hubs .
This is very sad news for all of you .
He certainly is a beautiful boy . I will remember that thought .
Love ❤️ to all of you .
When you didn’t post anything yesterday, I thought we might have lost Tabs. You were the best caretaker and I hope it gives you comfort that you gave him a great life.
Thank you for sharing him with us. I always read the Sundays With Tabs postings and felt like he was part of my world, too.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you go through this difficult time.

Karen, I’ve been following yours and Tab’s journey for many moons but have never left a comment.
My heart goes out to you. Warmest hugs.
My friend recently lost her senior cat under similar circumstances. I’m sure her cat, Pud (Pudding) will keep Tab good company until you meet again.
Best wishes and take the time and care you need.
Much love from Australia x

Karen,
I’ve been dreading reading this post as much as you have surely dreaded having to write it.
I’ve never loved a cat that I’ve never met as much as your Tabs. What a special friend.
Thank you for sharing him with us all these years. What a gift he was to you, what a gift you gave to us.
So sorry for the sadness you will be feeling…I think I speak for a lot of us when I say we will be feeling it too.
Much love, many tears, and hope for happier times with future furry friends in it…
Longtime reader & fan-
Paige
I will never forget losing my beloved cocker spaniel when I was 19. I cried like a baby. I think we all know how you feel today. I also know you will never forget Tabs and neither will your readers.
❤️
Sending you and your family so much love. Tabs will always be in our hearts.
https://www.rainbowsbridge.com
As the mom to two furry babies, I know the love you had for Tabs. My sincerest condolences to your family.
Tabs had a full, wonderful life. I will miss him so much and I know it is nothing compared to how much you will miss him. ?
Karen, I am so terribly sorry! He was such a special boy. Sending hugs your way.
I’m so sorry to read about your loss.
He was a very special supermodel cat. Many of us will miss reading about him and seeing his photos.
Many of us have lost pets and know how hard it is. He will live on in his familys hearts, as the two dogs I’ve lost lives on in my heart.
Take time to mourn and be with your family.
All the very best!
Anyone who’s ever had a “soulmate” pet knows how you are feeling. It takes a long time to get over (if one ever does) that kind of loss. My condolences to you and your family.
Dear Karen,
I’m so sorry about Tabs. I always enjoy reading your blog, and I’ll miss seeing Tabs surrounded in lipstick (or getting hugs).
Shelley – from Toronto
Karen – your love for Tabs was immense and beautiful – sending you all the love you need in this time of sorrow and healing. Bless you all … hope
Karen, I’m so sorry for your loss; I know you loved Tabs dearly. Thank you for sharing him with us. I remember reading your blog way back when Tabs adopted you. I was a lonely, homesick college student missing my own cats, and you and Tabs helped ease that painful year.
I’m sending lots of love to you and your family. <3
I am so sorry for you loss and always really enjoyed reading about Tab’s adventures. One silver lining is you have so many memories in print and pictures. You and your family will be in my thoughts.
Karen, I am so sorry for your loss…
I have loved and lost a number of pet companions and at such times of sorrow I always try to remember that they now are in Pet Heaven running free and happy, waiting to welcome me when time comes…
This always brings a smile to my face…
Hope it helps you too…
I’m so sorry for your loss. Tabs looks so much like my fur baby. But Tabs was a better model for sure. My grandma loved animals. Any fur babies she came across. I like to think of her looking after all the pets we’ve lost until we meet again. I know she will be thrilled to give Tabs all the belly rubs he wants.
Sorry for your loss. God bless you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Sending Love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
&kitty kat kisses. God Bless.
Sending much love to you and your family.
So quick 🙁 A big hug for you, I know so much how you feel right now.
I’m so sorry to hear this, Karen.
Sending you and your family lots of love.
i am so sorry for your loss. no doubt you loved him till the end, and him, you.
I am so sorry for your loss… I know that no words can ease your pain. I know it because I have lost my 15 year old cat past January. I just want to tell that you had posted numerous lovely photos of Tabs to this blog and made him immortal in a way. He was like a friend’s cat for me, I was looking forward for his new photos. Thank you for sharing him with us.
Dear Karen,
Oh, how I will miss Tabs; it feels as if he was my cat too due to your excellent writing and photography He was a beautiful cat in every way; you were very lucky to have found each other.
Love to you, Connor, and El Hub.
However long it is, is never long enough. ?
Hugs to you and your family. 🙁
I am so very sorry for your loss. Amber
I’ll be seeing you in all the old familiar places that this heart of mine embraces all day through…
I’ll be seeing you in every lovely summers day. I’ll always think of you that way.
I’ll be looking at the moon but I’ll be seeing you.
See you Tabs…it was a hell of a party.
Love, Nina’s Mom
I am so sorry to hear about this, Karen. Big hugs to your family.
Aw, I’m so sorry. I’ve followed your blog and the adventures of Tabs for so long—there wasn’t a more loved cat. Hugs.
I’m so sorry for u and your family. It’s always so difficult when we loose a fur child. We lost my therapy dog end of Jan and I was the same too hard to talk about u take the time needed to really grieve and when u r ready that’s when u r ready. Everyone is different I couldn’t talk or look at pics for almost three months. They become a huge part of our lives. Maybe one day when u r all healed and the family u can bring in another pet that u will love too. Hugs hang in there.
Dear Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. God bless Tabs, as well as you and your family during this difficult time. Sending love from Pennsylvania.
Oh Karen, I’m so sorry to hear this. Tabs was a wonderful cat.
Rest in peace, sweet Tabs ?
I’m so so sorry for your loss. No words can console you but the thought that Tabs was a lucky cat who lived a happy life surrounded by love.
I am so sorry, Karen! Condolences to your family! Tabs will be missed!
Oh dear Tabs , rest in peace. I’m with you .I always love him.
I’m so very sorry for the loss of Tabs. Sending you lots of love and strength during this time. He is loved by so many!
So sorry to hear this! Thank you for giving him such a wonderful life.
I’m very sorry for your loss, Karen. Thank you for sharing Tabs’ fabulous life with us over the years. Sundays with Tabs has brought joy, smiles, and inspiration for me and my daughter (we’re both cat lovers). I only know him through your posts, but I feel a huge loss. Tabs will be greatly missed. Love and hugs to you, Karen❤️
I’m so sorry Karen. I’m glad Tabs had an amazing life, was surrounded by love, and had a peaceful passing. Sending hugs your way. <3
Lots of love and hugs. Tabs was a wonderful cat with a wonderful family, and I will miss his beautiful face xx
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Losing our fur babies is so painful. We wish they could live forever.
Hello Karen, I read you here in France every single day since a few years now, and I am so sad that Tabs is gone. I´m also a cat lady and makeup lover and I really wanted to send you lots and lots of sweet thoughts and courage to go through this hard time. I can testify that Tabs was an international icon in Chanel’s country 🙂
It’s awful to lose them. I’m so very sad for you, and hope you find peace.
Such a handsome and dapper guy he was- and admired from afar by so many! I know your hearts are heavy right now- wishing you comfort and peace. May all your wonderful memories and pictures of him be a balm to your hearts… sending cyber hugs.

So sorry for your loss… sending you love!
Hi Karen I’m heartbroken .. I have been a Tabs fan over 8 years and I always loved your blog.. I’ll miss him very much. Be strong!! RIP Tabs.
Hello Karen
Such sad news, I know how you must be feeling I have been through the same
with my dearly loved cats. I know it helps little at this time but you gave Tabs
a long and happy life with lots of love and cuddles, that’s priceless and a credit to you and your family.
With love
Michelle
Karen, I’m so sorry for your loss. I will miss him so… Sending love to you and your family!
Sending so much love to you and your family, Karen. My heart hurts for all of you, and I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy, Tabs. I have so enjoyed reading all about him through your blog. He was a special and much loved kitty, and I know you all must miss him terribly. I will miss him, too. You are in my thoughts.
I’m so sorry. I’m glad he had such a wonderful life with you ?
Karen,
I’m not sure that I have ever commented on your blog before. You don’t know me. But I’ve been reading your work for years now. I have you bookmarked in my favorite tabs and I check in you a few times a week. Needless to say, I’ve been following your kitty adventures for a long tine. I don’t know that a cat has ever been so loved as he. Take your time and grieve. Just remember to breathe. Just wanted to show my support here and tell you that it’s going to be ok.
I am so very sorry to hear about Tabs. I know how much joy and love he brought you and how much you loved and cared for him. Thank you for sharing your memories and stories of him. I know you and your family are heartbroken. I am sure Tabs is watching over you on the kitty catwalk up in heaven! I am thinking of you!
I only wish every cat on this planet could be as loved and as treasured as Tabs. Best wishes to you and your family as you grieve the loss of your family member.
So incredibly sad Karen, but so glad you had this fabulous feline in your life for as long as you did.
I’m so very sorry for your loss! Tabs was a wonderful presence on this blog but, I’m sure, moreso in your life. Losing a buddy like that is so hard…take care of yourself.
Karen, I’m so, so sorry for your family’s loss. Tabs will be fiercely missed!
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and yours during this difficult time. Thank you for sharing him with us all of these years.
Oh Karen, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve been reading your blog in 2009 and have loved Tabs from afar for the better part of a decade. I’ll be thinking of you and your family, and please take time for yourself. Thank you for sharing him with the rest of the world for such a long time!
You have my heartfelt condolences. Losing a beloved pet is difficult.
Dear Karen,
I am sending you Love in this very emotional time! I will miss Tabs. And never forget the Special Bond you two have. The Moment will come, when you feel only Joy for having him in your Life. Just Take your time! Be good to yourself.
Oh no Karen I’m so sorry <3
Oh my gosh! I don’t know why, but last week I was just randomly wondering how much longer he was for this world. Goodness, that’s so tough. All the best to you guys. He was a beautiful, beautiful soul! ?
I’m so sorry. RIP Tabs; more people loved you than you’ll ever know. Sending lots of love and prayers to you and your family, Karen.
I’ve been reading your blog for years but have never posted. You and Tabs helped me get through chemotherapy a couple of years ago. I am so sorry to hear about your loss, but it brings me joy that Tabs was so very loved and had such a wonderful life. It reminds us all to love our fur babies while we are lucky enough to have them, and I will give mine extra love tonight.
Sending you love and hugs! I’m so sorry for your loss.
Karen I’m so glad you were able to spend lots of time with Tabs in the past few weeks. That’s really important. I’m reminded of my brown tabby lookalike named “Lyle” who I lost to cancer awhile ago. I still miss him a lot and I am grateful for the wonderful friendship we had.
Take care.
April
Words can’t express how sorry I am. Sending love and hugs. Hold on to your memories, they are precious.
I’m sorry for your loss Karen! Thoughts and prayers going out to you and your family.
Karen, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve followed your blog since the very beginning and reading about Tabs passing was like learning an old friend had passed. It’s so wonderful that you’re taking this sadness to remind people to appreciate their loved ones while there’s still time. Always making people feel positive and loved, as usual for you.
Dearest Karen,
Longtime lurker here in Hawaii. Just wanted to send you virtual hugs
and to express my deepest condolences. Your blog has never failed to
bring joy, even when life is at its suckiest.
We lost our cat baby last year around this time. I am absolutely certain
that he is showing Tabs the ropes up there, in his own gentle way.
Thank you for sharing your precious kitty with all of us. And thank you
for sharing your daily sttuggles with us–life is damn hard sometimes, and
the way you navigate gives me so much inspiration.
You and your awesome boy are, and will always be, much loved and appreciated.
Karen, much love and sympathy to you and your family on the loss of beloved Tabs. May he rest in peace, and frolick at the Rainbow Bridge with our kitty friends who have passed before him, till we all meet again. We’ll miss him so. xo R
I am so sorry. He has had a wonderful life filled with love.
I am so sorry to read this. It’s obvious how much you loved each other. Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time. I’m so sorry for your loss, he was so special.
Karen! I’m so sorry!
I know nothing will ever fill this void, but I hope you find the strength to continue putting out more love.
Happy Mothers’ Day to You! ??
Karen, I’m sorry for your loss!
Dear Karen and family, my deepest condolences on the loss of sweet super-model Tabs. He was a wonderful kitty that loved you very much like you all loved him. May the beautiful memories of him sustain you during this difficult time. I also felt that Tabs was like my own kitty and thankyou for sharing him with us.
Thank you for loving him, Tania. ❤️
Karen,
I am so sorry to hear about Tabs!! I have enjoyed reading Sundays with Tabs. Thank you for sharing him with us! I lost my sweet boy, Simba in September and my heart still hurts. Wishing you peace and lots of happy memories.
End of an era. Been following you seen the beginning. So much love for Tabs! I’m so sorry for your loss. </3
I’m so very sorry for your loss. My love and support go out to you and your family. Thank you for sharing Tabs’s journey with us, even through the end. We’re all going to miss him.
Oh Karen, my sincerest condolences to you and your beautiful family. Hope you feel a sense of peace after you have grieved.
I am so sorry to hear about Tabs and that I only just found out (busy life getting in the way of my fav blogs 🙁 ). We lost our furry boy in March and my heart just aches for you because I know how large a hole they leave.
