Indeed, Tabs was an exceptional leader, a brilliant mind, a complete game-changer who excelled at everything he attempted, but let’s not kid ourselves… He was quite a demanding boss.
He had high expectations! “Meow!” he’d exclaim, or “Mrrow!”
Much of his guidance related to treats (naturally), or petting — particularly, an intense kitty massage.
I tried my hardest, but being human was, well, a slight drawback. That’s why Tabs dedicated years to crafting the ideal robotic assistant.
We even launched a couple of fairly impressive models. In fact, our Tabby Dynamics branch was the first to introduce a bipedal humanoid cat assistant to the market.
When Rosie became CFO, I hoped she would bring a different vibe. She had a somewhat gentler side compared to Tabs, but it didn’t take long to discover she also had high demands.
She may not be as tough as Tabs was, but it’s fair to say that one of our pet assistants struggles with bananas.
That’s one way to frame it…
She might not be the most effective assistant.
Due to this, a couple of weeks ago Rosie revived the Tabby Dynamics personal pet assistant initiative. She uncovered the original blueprints for the designs Tabs created and commenced work on an updated version.
A prototype is already in place, and things are looking promising! Today it reached an important milestone. It successfully filled Rosie’s food bowl with crunchies.
Huzzah! Victory!!
I just hope it doesn’t replace me.
Your friendly local beauty enthusiast,
Karen
**Weekly Feature: Tabs the Cat – Mascot of Makeup and Beauty Blog, Volume 857**
For over ten years, beauty aficionados and cat lovers alike have followed the spectacular escapades of one of the internet’s most legendary pets: Tabs the Cat. As the cherished mascot of the Makeup and Beauty Blog, Tabs infused charm, charisma, and an impressive sense of style into the world of cosmetics. In Volume 857 of the Weekly Feature, we reflect on Tabs’ legacy, his influence on the beauty blogging scene, and how his spirit persists in inspiring others.
### The Birth of a Feline Fashion Icon
Tabs the Cat was welcomed into Karen’s life, the creator of the Makeup and Beauty Blog, in 2007. What started as a simple companionship blossomed into a creative collaboration. Karen, a beauty blogger with a talent for storytelling, began featuring Tabs in her work—initially as a comedic sidekick, and eventually as a full-fledged feline fashion icon and beauty expert in his own right.
Tabs’ weekly articles, often penned from his own perspective, showcased him modeling the latest beauty fads, critiquing products, and providing his “expert” insights on everything from lip gloss to luxury skincare. His posts blended satire, style, and authenticity, delighting readers.
### Tabs’ Distinctive Style
What distinguished Tabs from other internet-famous felines was his flawless fashion sense and dedication to his “career.” In his fictional universe, Tabs wasn’t merely a house cat—he was a powerful kitty executive, a supermodel, and the head of a global beauty brand. He donned bow ties, posed with makeup collections, and even had his own fictional line of beauty products.
Every Sunday, followers eagerly anticipated the latest edition of “Sundays with Tabs the Cat,” where they could catch up on his lavish adventures. Whether he was dreaming of attending Paris Fashion Week or overseeing his team of human assistants (aka Karen), Tabs’ escapades offered a whimsical blend of beauty content and storytelling.
### A Legacy of Affection and Joy
Tabs left us in 2019, but his legacy endures. Karen continues to celebrate him through the blog, frequently sharing memories, photos, and reflections on their shared experiences. Tabs’ impact remains evident in the tone and creativity of the Makeup and Beauty Blog, which continues to thrive as a lively space for beauty enthusiasts.
Volume 857 of the Weekly Feature stands as a tribute to Tabs’ lasting charm. It features a carefully curated selection of his most iconic looks, beloved blog entries, and behind-the-scenes stories from Karen about what it was like to collaborate with such a “diva.” Readers are also treated to a special segment on how Tabs inspired a new wave of beauty bloggers to inject personality and narrative into their work.
### Tabs’ Successor: Rosie the Kitten
Following Tabs’ passing, Karen welcomed Rosie, a sweet and inquisitive kitten who has stepped in as the blog’s new feline muse. While Rosie possesses her own distinct personality, she upholds Tabs’ tradition of Sunday updates and beauty-themed escapades. Fans have warmly embraced Rosie, and her presence guarantees that Tabs’ spirit continues to shine brightly.
### Conclusion
Tabs the Cat was more than just a pet—he was a muse, a model, and a beacon of creativity in the beauty blogging realm. Through his weekly features, he spread joy, laughter, and a sparkle of glamour to countless readers. As we celebrate Volume 857, we remember Tabs not only for his fabulous fashion sense but also for the love and inspiration he brought to the Makeup and Beauty Blog community.
Long live Tabs—the original feline face of beauty.
