Tabs was a big personality. He was like a movie star in his own life, and he was always surprising us. I swear, every single day he did something that made me shake my head in amazement. He was truly larger than life.
But, you know, that cat also had quirks. Like most cats do. I mean, he did some things that were just…unexplainable. For instance, he always — and I’m talking about years here — always hopped up on on the bed from the same side. It was always the right. Never the left.
I guess you could say he was many things, including incredibly consistent about his bedtime ritual.
Why?
You tell me… I have no idea. It was just one of the mysteries of the world, and I think once I tried to get him to climb up from the opposite side, and he nearly short circuited. He grumbled, hopped down and raced out of the room.
Some may say it was good old-fashioned cat neurosis, but I attribute it to his incredible discipline. After all, you can’t build a global kitty modeling empire without consistency, and he took his beauty sleep as seriously as he took posing.
Maybe he just wanted to stick to what worked. He knew how to sleep well and achieve his dreams. Can’t fault anyone for that.

That is too funny about Tabs’ penchant for the right. Do you think it was like Zoolander not being able to turn left? 😉 All our cats seem to be bi-sidel but they usually choose the left since it’s closer to the door. Then, right to the pillow/head area because that’s the most comfortable for everyone…. HAHA!.
PS The Little Red Riding Hood look definitely suits Tabs. So awesome!!
Do your cats stay with you all night? Tabs was a “love ’em and leave ’em” kind of cat. Rosie will stay with us or with Connor the whole night!
That Red Riding Hood cape was pure magic!
Red was one of his best colors!
He was absolutely right there – I would not risk a good nights sleep by experimenting either!
