Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 363 - Makeup and Beauty Blog

I know that you know a lot about Tabs through his modeling, philanthropy and other endeavors — his fabled life — but here's a look behind the glam at what information technology'due south really similar to live with Tabs on a day-to-twenty-four hour period basis.

I worry sometimes that he'due south older than I always thought he was

I mentally ready myself — scratch that. I continue trying to mentally set up myself for the day when I wake upwards, and I don't accept Tabs there to greet me.

I can't fifty-fifty handle the thought… It makes me so sad. 🙁

A few months ago, we took him to the vet for his regular checkup, and the vet said, "I think he may be a little older than we initially thought he was…" His eyes aren't equally bright as they once were, and he'south starting to slow downwards. He's likewise getting ornerier, and he sleeps more than during the 24-hour interval.

I worry that I might non have the time I thought I'd have with him, and I know that seems very greedy of me and self-centered, but I can't help it. I merely want my companion to live forever.

I think well-nigh collecting his whiskers…

A couple weeks agone I found ane of his picayune whiskers — I phone call 'em little whiskees — while cleaning the living room, and his whiskees are interesting in that they aren't all white. Some of them are blackness, and some of them are blackness with little sections of white.

I picked it up, and I walked up to El Hub and asked, "Practise you recall information technology would exist besides crazy true cat lady if I saved all of Tabs'south whiskees?" because I'd been thinking near how when he finally goes to cross the rainbow bridge, I won't have anything of his with me, and El Hub said, "Yes, that would be very crazy cat lady of you."

So I threw information technology out…merely y'all know what? I'one thousand gonna commencement collecting his whiskees anyway, and then when he finally goes abroad, I'grand probably going to spread his ashes on the hill behind us, because he loves existence outside.

I experience guilty sometimes when I see outdoor kitties lounging effectually

Oh, Tabby, I wish you could be the outside cat that I know you meet yourself as, e'er running effectually, chasing things and lounging nigh.

When I see kitties outside, especially at the finish of the day enjoying the dusk or napping, I wish Tabs could have that same luxury, but I know that it's probably safer for him to spend the evenings indoors. Where nosotros live here in Novato, there are wide open spaces with coyotes (we encounter them a lot) and other predators around.

He gets all "bitey" now

Sometimes I wonder where my sweet cat has gone, or if he'southward just temporarily on hiatus.

Tabs has been doing this thing lately that nosotros call "being bitey." He'southward always been a very sweet cat, and he still is, but lately he's gotten more ambitious with bitter. He'll nip my elbows or my shoulder while nosotros're only relaxing, and I call up information technology'southward because we recently changed his food. Tabs gets iii meals a day now of wet food — morning, afternoon and night (his doctor idea information technology would exist better for his health), but he used to take free-range access to a bowl filled with crunchies, and then I recollect he's interim out.

Sometimes he'due south then needy, merely information technology'south very sweet

Tabs is a little needier than nigh of the cats I've known. He'due south very people-oriented, and he likes to be around his peeps all the time. He follows us effectually wherever we get in the house. If nosotros're in the living room watching Television receiver, he'll come downstairs and sleep on "the forbidden chair," which used to be the forbidden chair…but at present it'south just his chair. Or he'll sleep on the opposite side of the room, just every bit long as he's in the same room with us. He constantly has to be around me or El Hub, just we love it.

Late-nighttime lurvies when I go to the bathroom in the eye of the nighttime

I'k pregnant now, and I go to the bath — non kidding — three or four times in the middle of the night, merely Tabs doesn't seem to understand that these bathroom breaks aren't related to him partying.

I think that he thinks that whenever I go to the bathroom, then come back to bed and prevarication down, it's solely for his amusement, because he'll spring on the bed, crawl on pinnacle of me and start purring. Then he'll showtime kneading my hair and giving me head-butts. And he does this multiple times a night, every fourth dimension I go to the bathroom.

He goes into supervisory mode every forenoon

I joke all the time near Tabs existence my boss because sometimes it really does seem like he's my boss! 🙂 Like in the mornings, when I offset sit down down at my desk, the first thing he does is walk into my office and lie down on the flooring behind my chair to clean while keeping an eye on me. Basically, he's supervising and making sure I'm doing my work.

I think it'due south funny, only actually, I call back it's mostly because that room is the warmest room and gets the most sun in the morning.

Sometimes when he goes for walks he simply likes to sit in the forepart stoop and wait around

Tabs loves to go for walks on his harness, but sometimes he doesn't want to wander around our little circumvolve or go exploring down the hill. Sometimes he's merely happy to be a niggling baby-sit true cat sitting in front end of the house, where he can expect around and lookout man the birds.

I think he really enjoys that.

Your friendly neighborhood dazzler addict,
