Even Tabs has bad hair days
Poor Tabs had a pretty bootsy week. It rained a lot here, so he never got to go outside except to go to his Bikram yoga class. And now he’s moping around the house and tearin’ sh*t up.
This is sort of random, but did I ever tell you about the time he opened for Whitesnake? Yeah, Bieber canceled on them, which really put them in a bind, and since Tabs happened to be in town that weekend, he rushed down to the Filmore in San Francisco for the show. Yup, it was all very exciting and marked a major milestone in his entertainment career. 🙂
He even got to sing one of his favorite songs. Of course, he made some minor changes to the lyrics.
“Here Tabs Goes Again”, The Whitesnake Remix
He’s just another cat in need of rescue,
Waitin’ on love’s sweet charity
An he’s gonna hold on
For the rest of his days,
‘Cos he knows what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An’ here Tabs goes again on his own
Goin’ down the only road Tabs’ ever known
Like a drifter Tabs was born to walk alone
An’ he’s made up his mind
He ain’t wasting no more time…
Who is Tabs the Cat? About three years ago I befriended a stray, flea-bitten tabby cat with a bad case of worms. I could see he’d fallen on hard times, but his profound knowledge of high fashion and department store cosmetics led me to believe that he was more than meets the eye. We became fast friends, and now he’s actually my boss (and a successful kitty model). 🙂
Here are some other things you may not know about Tabs. He…
Started a stitch ‘n’ bitch group with the neighborhood cats
Made it to the final four in season 7 of Top Chef
Loves the look of a black liner along the waterline
Is currently obsessed with Kate Spade’s spring shoes
Has repeatedly denied any involvement in “The Christmas Tree Incident”
Is in the process of developing his own line of accessories
Teaches breakdancing to elementary school children on the weekends
Hates modeling with others
Has been clinically diagnosed as a narcissist
Man, I just love that song… “An’ here Tabs goes again on his own, goin’ down the only road Tabs’ ever known!”
Have yourself a great night, young lady. See you soon. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
This is such a fun post and Tabs sure is a poser 😉 I love the look of the Kate Spade shoes *drool*
Tabs’ eyeliner is PURRFECT. He needs to do a tutorial on how to perfectly define one’s waterline.
HAHAHAHA I can’t believe you wrote lyrics about Tabs to that song—wait—-yes I can!
So AWESOME! Except now I’m gonna be singing ” An’ here Tabs goes again on his own
Goin’ down the only road Tabs’ ever known” all night! Love it!
Hahahaha I’m pretty sure ALL cats would be clinically diagnosed as narcissists… if they would ever bother to see a therapist in the first place, because really, they’re all just too damn hot for that kind of thing, don’tchaknow.
Missy’s on my lap reading this, and when she gets to the part about the Christmas Tree Incident, she mutters something that sounds remarkably like “deny, deny, deny, my friend!”
I need to join a stitch n b*tch group! I can’t stitch but there’s tonnes of the other stuff I can do!
Oooooooooh Karen, those shoes, my heart is all a flutter, it’s love !
For once my assistant brought home a pair of shoes worthy of my presence. Believe me; I’m picky about my footwear.
Fashion 4 life,
Tabs
…those shoes. I need those blue shoes!
Me too. I plan on “borrowing” my assistant’s pair when she’s not around.
Heh!
Xo,
Tabs
I am cracking up at the teaching break dancing to elementary kids picture lol. Your posts brighten up my day Karen :p
Thanks, babe. You know I’m all about b-boying it!
Word,
Tabs
I’m such a Tabs fan!!! I wish I had such a hip and awesome boss!
Thanks, Izzy! My assistant calls me a tyrant, but whatev. I think I’m pretty fair.
Kisses,
Tabs
Those shoes are beautiful *drools° And Tabs is awesome as always. 🙂
Finally, some footwear worthy of my presence!
Love,
Tabs
i want to cuddles with tabs!
I got plenty of love to give, girlfriend!
Hugs,
Tabs
look at that shoe!!!! its superb!!!
I plan on stealing them when my assistant isn’t looking. You better believe it.
Accessories rule,
Tabs
Sweet shoes! And this from someone who basically only wears sneakers! 🙂
Yeah, they’re all towing that party line regarding Christmas tree incidents!
PS It’s minus 15 degrees here this AM. Just thought I’d share. Sorry, for all our international comment readers, that’s Fahrenheit. Brrrrrr…
For the record, I have sworn under oath that I had nothing to do with “The Christmas Tree Incident.”
Innocent until proven guilty,
Tabs
OMG those shoes are totally gorgeous but also totally LOVE the slouchy cabled hat that Tabs is sporting in the first pic…did he knit it? If so will he share his pattern?
I wish I could say that I knitted this, love, but I didn’t. It’s a knitted hat by Eugenia Kim.
Kittehs are the best! I love practicing picture taking on my boys – they’re so camera ready!
We really are. The competitive world of cat modeling is a tough business!
Smooches,
Tabs
i totally heart the narcissist pic!
What a coincidence, I LOVE IT TOO!
Great minds think alike.
Love ya,
Tabs
This is hysterical!
Thanks, love! I’m actually thinking of adding stand up comedy to my entertainment repertoire.
Peace,
Tabs
Tabs is sooo strikingly cute! Love the CATLINER and the yoga/break-dance pose!
I’ve been b-boying with a crew for a while and finally feel like I perfected my six-step!
Breakdancing 4 life,
Tabs
Tabs is most definitely too cool for school.
My cat looks a lot like him but even leaving apart their size (she is small, my dad calls her the pocket rocket), you can tell she is a girl and he is a boy. Or maybe I am just imagining that bit!
You know it’s all about the tabbies — big AND small!
Kisses,
Tabs
I should have known you were a knitter!
It was hard at first seeing how I don’t have opposable thumbs and all, but I think if there’s something you REALLY want to learn, you can do it!
Love ya,
Tabs
Is it wrong that although I read your blog every single day and enjoy every swatch & review thoroughly, Tabs is my most favorite feature on here? If lovin’ him is wrong, I don’t wanna be right!
Lovin’ you right back, MKDallas!
Purrs and headbutts,
Tabs
Wow Tabs! There is so much I am still learning about you! Do you cook for your Mom since you did make it to the final 4 on Top Chef? you must have impressive cooking skills. How do you do it without opposable thumbs?
Your biggest fan!
Sarah
Wow Tabs! How did you make it to the final four on top chef without opposable thumbs? You are so impressive!
Your biggest fan,
Sarah
AHHH!!!! those goregeous shoes!!!!!i must havvveeee them!
Very cute pet! =] I enjoy the random cute cat pictures – I’m in awe of how he allows you to put a hat on him, my friend’s cat would scratch me if I tried (and I’ve tried before lmao).
OMG TOO CUTE!
LOLLLL the “has been clinically diagnosed as a narcissist” is amazing. I think that’s true for just about any cat. In fact, just a couple hours ago, someone asked me what mental health issue Aisha is most likely to have, and my response was “narcissistic personality disorder.” 😀
Haha! Thanks for the laugh Karen (and Tabs)!
EPIC WIN! 😀
p.s.
you and Tabs rock my webworld =^.^= purrrrrrrrrrrs your way
