So, indeed. One of Tabs’ lesser-known ventures could have boosted his popularity even further within the community, but alas, he had to conceal his true identity.
<p He wished to promote it, but his agreement with Easter Bunnies Inc. included a strict NDA.
Thus, it was quite an unappreciated role, yet still…incredibly fulfilling.
As you might imagine, Easter was especially loved around these parts.
Everyone at Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC was always hard at work during that essential first quarter, striving to maximize the company’s revenue, so by Easter, we were completely exhausted.
That was when Tabs would typically outline his spring objectives, and when they were positive, it distinctly influenced the mood for the rest of the year. 😹
<pYour ever-enthusiastic beauty aficionado,

**Weekly Feature: Tabs the Cat – Mascot of Makeup and Beauty Blog, Volume 858**
For more than ten years, beauty lovers and cat aficionados alike have been mesmerized by the charisma, cleverness, and undeniable star power of Tabs the Cat, the cherished feline emblem of the Makeup and Beauty Blog. Now in Volume 858 of the weekly series, we honor the lasting legacy of Tabs, whose paw prints have imprinted on the realm of cosmetics and online beauty culture.
### A Glamorous Beginning
Tabs the Cat, a dashing tabby with a talent for style and an instinct for the freshest beauty trends, first graced the Makeup and Beauty Blog in the late 2000s. Adopted by beauty blogger Karen, Tabs swiftly transcended the role of a mere pet—he transformed into a genuine beauty icon. With his expressive gaze, camera-ready poses, and cheeky demeanor, Tabs infused the blog with a distinct voice, providing insights on makeup launches, skincare regimes, and the occasional red carpet review.
### The Weekly Feature: A Tradition of Feline Fabulousness
The “Sundays with Tabs the Cat” segment became a beloved fixture of the blog, giving readers a whimsical yet sincere glimpse into the exquisite life of the world’s first feline beauty executive. Each week, Tabs would “compose” a post, typically alongside photos of him parading through the garden, basking in the sunlight, or examining the latest PR packages. These entries were more than just adorable cat content—they served as a creative expression melding humor, storytelling, and beauty journalism.
Volume 858 continues this tradition, featuring archival images of Tabs at his best, alongside tales from his most unforgettable “campaigns.” From his fictional partnerships with top beauty brands to his status as the CEO of Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC, each post highlights the creativity and delight he contributed to the blog’s community.
### Tabs’ Impact on Beauty Blogging
Tabs was a trailblazer in blending pet culture with beauty blogging, well before the surge of pet influencers on social media. His presence helped to humanize the blog, making it relatable and enjoyable for readers. He illustrated how narrative and personality could elevate a beauty blog beyond mere product reviews and tutorials.
Through Tabs, Karen was able to delve into themes of self-care, confidence, and creativity, often using his “voice” to discuss the significance of inner beauty and the happiness derived from self-pampering. His legacy continues to motivate other bloggers and content creators to inject their work with authenticity and creativity.
### Remembering Tabs
Although Tabs departed in 2019, his essence endures through the weekly feature and the memories cherished by his admirers. Karen has since introduced readers to her new feline friends, including Rosie, who sporadically makes guest appearances on the blog. Nonetheless, Tabs remains irreplaceable—a true original whose impact is still sensed in every aspect of the Makeup and Beauty Blog.
Volume 858 is not merely a homage to a cat; it’s a celebration of the connection between pets and their humans, the delight of creative expression, and the lasting influence of a well-placed whisker in the beauty industry.
### Final Thoughts
As we move on to another chapter of “Sundays with Tabs the Cat,” we’re reminded that beauty is not solely about products and palettes—it encompasses personality, passion, and the small moments that make us grin. Tabs may have been a cat, but to his enthusiasts, he was a muse, a guide, and a meowdel of excellence.
Keep an eye out for next week’s feature, and don’t forget to shower your own furry companions with a bit of extra affection—and perhaps a dab of (pet-safe) highlighter—in honor of Tabs.
