Sure, I call this particular weekly missive “Sundays With Tabs,” but sometimes, when the resident feline overlord here at company HQ, does something spectacular, it’s all about Rosie.
And this is one of those times!
This week — oh, my gosh! — Rosie did something incredible.
Let me break it down.
A few weeks ago, Rosie and her team of cat scientists were awarded a grant to support their cutting-edge research into cat treat development.
You see, Rosie published a paper titled “Maximum Chonk: The History of High-Satisfaction Cat Treat Development,” in which she explained how ancient cat civilizations created high-yield cat treat recipes that have been lost to the sands of time.
Legend has it that one such recipe resulted in a single crunchy that could keep a cat completely satisfied for two weeks.
I know! Hard to believe, isn’t it?
So, this week Rosie embarked upon an expedition that took her around the globe, and not even a Pineapple Express could stop her!
First, she traveled to Egypt, but no luck. There was some evidence that the ancient Egyptian maus had created a special cat treat, but Rosie’s research was inconclusive.
After Egypt, Rosie’s team headed for the Arctic, but again, they left empty-pawed (except for some excellent seafood).
Following the Arctic, the team investigated the deepest chasm in Earth’s oceans.
The view was breathtaking! Unfortunately, there were no cat treats anywhere in sight.
After the ocean expedition, they ended their investigation in the Yucatan jungle.
Rosie thought she picked up a promising scent, and the team trudged through miles of wild jungle, but sadly, the expedition ran out of funding there without having made a discovery.
Rosie isn’t letting it get her down, though. She returned to Novato more determined than ever! Sooner or later, she’s sure they’ll find it.
In the meantime, she’s developed a new appreciation for seafood…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Oh, yeah! — since this series is still called “Sundays With Tabs,” here’s a beautiful photo of our gorgeous founder. 🙂
Good job Karen. This was a beautiful posts with your kitties. I enjoyed it ! I have been following your posts for years but today was outstanding. Very clever!
Pawesome!!
Meowza!
Rosie and Tabs are the best! Please never stop doing these Sunday posts. They always make me smile!
I’m so glad they brighten your day, Susan!
Meowvelous!

I just read Novato is really getting pummeled with rain. Hope you and yours stay safe and dry!
Hi Evelyn,
It’s been CRAZY! My windows have been shaking and rattling all day because of the wind and rain. We had to drive Connor to a dance performance today and all the creeks are nearly at full capacity. I’m just hoping the power stays on!
I hope it lets up. We’ve had crazy winter storms (ice, snow) and I don’t think excessive rain is any better. Though I’m always terrified of slipping on ice and doing some damage!
I hear you. I’m terrified of having to drive somewhere and getting stuck in the water! When we were driving home from Connor’s dance performance I was really glad that we didn’t have to be on the road for much longer; there were many sections on the side of the freeway that were being very close to flooded.
Yes, please continue these “Sundays with Tabs the Cat”. They make me smile, too!
Love Tabs with that stunning ‘Hallo Kitty’ pendant.
Rosie is so determined – still, I suppose that’s what you need to be a top cat treat scientist.
I’m in the UK and I feel like the wind hasn’t stopped howling for days. Ragnar ( my Siamese) asked me to make him a burrow from a blanket just now and that’s where he is..!
