Tabs grows catnip for personal use

Tabs is like an enigma wrapped in a chubby, fur-covered riddle. I learn something new about him every day. Like, today I found out that he worked on a fishing boat in Alaska one summer to save money for modeling school. 🙂 Who knew?

Here are some other things you may not know about Tabs. He…

How was your weekend, young lady? I hope you did something fun. Right now I’m cooking stir fry and getting ready to watch The Walking Dead.

Can’t wait!

Tabs was busy modeling again this weekend. No traveling though. He stayed local, which was nice because we were able to meet for lunch during the week (Pacific Catch; he likes their ahi bowl).

It ain’t gruel, but cold pizza and protein powder aren’t exactly gourmet fare. I’m not in the mood to cook, and Tabs went out to dinner with some modeling friends, so it’s prefab food for me.

Speaking of Tabs, he had another busy week. You’ve heard of Microsoft’s new game system Kinect, right? It’s their new motion control addon for Xbox 360, supposedly the big thing this season. Well, Microsoft’s also coming out with a version for cats called Katnect. Guess who’s the spokeskitty? 🙂

Dear Diary,

I’m so furious right now — FURIOUS!

What’s that old saying? Something like, if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself? Well, I told my good-for-nothing assistant WEEKS ago that for Halloween this year I wanted to dress up as Lady Gaga.

I was thinking either a bubble dress or big Coke can curls like in the Telephone video, and I told my assistant to “get on it” last month.

Per usual, she waited till the last minute, and now I’m stuck with this stupid yellow submarine.

She actually said, “I found the perfect costume for you!” Really?

I mean, how hard is it to find a Lady Gaga costume for a cat? It’s called the Internet, woman!

And you know I’m pretty sure this thing was made for a dog. Yup, just keeps gettin’ better.

Now I have to model with this ridiculous pumpkin next to me, which I can’t even eat.

I can’t work under these conditions…
