Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 252 - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Beloved Tabby is written by Tabs the Cat, commonly regarded as "the world's get-go plus-size kitty supermodel." Founded in mid 2012, it has quickly become the almost widely syndicated cat communication column on globe — known for its fresh, feline perspective on lifestyle, fashion and way issues affecting cats and humans.

Justifiably jealous?

DEAR TABBY: While watching Animal Planet on the couch with my banana last nighttime, I caught a glimpse of what looked similar a fluffy tail on the screen of her visitor-issued iPad.

My banana, Pam, appearing to notice my sidelong glance, pivoted the screen away from me, at which point I feigned disinterest by intensely training my inner thigh (you know how it is).

When Pam got upward from the burrow to prepare my afternoon snackies, I swiped my paw across the iPad's screen, entered the code to unlock information technology and saw what she'd been reading — a dog adoption site for our town'south local shelter.

Quite frankly, Tabby, I was shocked and dismayed. Despite being a shelter kitty myself, I very clearly told Pam when I hired her that I required her undivided attending. I specifically told her that I needed an assistant who could commit to one cat.

This is difficult because Pam has been an infrequent banana, and I've been very happy with our organisation. When I confronted her about information technology, she laughed and handed me a care for.

A care for!

Tabby, I'grand trying to be reasonable here, but every time I think of Pam considering other employers, I wing into a jealous rage. Am I overreacting?

— Diva in Detroit

DEAR DIVA: I understand your concern. I enforce a similar arrangement with my assistant.

Only consider this: has Pam always tended to your needs? Has she gone above and beyond the call of duty? If so, then possibly she was merely web surfing.

Haven't you always looked at things you didn't intend to bring home? Window shopping? I can't tell you how many hours I've spent browsing the Chanel website, filling my cart with Chanel-branded true cat towers and toys, knowing full well that I wouldn't be making a purchase that solar day.

I monitor my assistant'due south Net usage and have caught her looking at true cat adoption sites several times. When it happens, I climb upon her chest, rev up the purr machine, and evidence her who's boss.

Now, I tin can't speak for Pam, but you may want to postpone taking any disciplinary action, for at present. Refrain from making a genu-jerk decision. Be vigilant, but I would bet a bag of Feline Greenies that you lot're going to be just fine.

Is eye age too late for a career change?

Honey TABBY: I am an 8-yr-one-time cat considering a mid-life career modify.

I've worked security all my life, merely now I'1000 thinking of chasing my dreams of becoming America's Adjacent Acme Kitty Model.

I'thou not afraid of crowds and savour performing. What practise you think? Should I go for it, considering my advanced years?

— Senior Superstar in San Diego

DEAR SENIOR SUPERSTAR: Bravo! I applaud your courage and sense of adventure. I think information technology's a great idea. I suggest attending casting calls in your surface area to test the waters.

While the mature kitty modeling market is a narrow niche, it's quite possible to have a successful career. If yous don't endeavour, you'll never know. I wish you luck!

Privacy please?

DEAR TABBY: My assistant, George, has absolutely no regard for my privacy. He feels the need to share my every activeness with all of our acquaintances and business associates, including the members of his book lodge and his many Facebook friends.

George fifty-fifty posts pictures of me on his website, and some are rather embarrassing (like when I'm grooming or taking a nap). Sometimes he even tweets!

Whenever I try to talk to him most it, he calls me silly.

I do think that I crave more than privacy than other cats, but I don't call back information technology's right to tell everyone on the planet when I accept tummy troubles! What can I practice, Tabby? How practice I make this cease?

— Individual in Petaluma

DEAR Private: Your assistant may be posting these pictures of you lot because he's proud.

I find that's often the case, only y'all yet have the right to live a life exterior the limelight.

To convey this to George, yous could try making yourself less available. Hibernate in closets, boxes and under the bed. I must tell you, though, that hiding can lead to a lonely life. I know many cats who would beloved to be so adored and revered by their assistants.

Why can't they cut it out?

DEAR TABBY: When did true cat-kind all of a sudden decide that king of beasts cuts were "stylish"?

I can empathize shaving off patches of fur for medical purposes, but to walk effectually with everything just hanging out like that, except for tiny tufts of fur on your head, your paws and the tip of your tail, seems incorrect and ridiculous to me. Please tell the cats of the earth to finish shaving their fur!

— Perturbed in Portland

Dearest PERTURBED: I fancy myself a style-forward feline, and I tin see why you find this upsetting. Lion cuts tin look a little questionable on some cats.

However, sometimes it works! Cats blessed with costly, fluffy coats may as well work it, correct?

A tummy fetish?

Honey TABBY: I met a cat recently — a cute enough young man — simply the thing is, I really like his stomach. Like, really, REALLY like it for some reason.

Information technology just hangs then perfectly, and the way it swings back and forth when he walks or runs…

Anyway, I love how fluffy it is and the shape and everything.

Ironically, I've never actually paid much attending to tums earlier. Just his. So does this count as a fetish? Am I weird?

— Tummy Obsessed in Topeka

Dearest TUM OBSESSED: No, I don't think you lot're weird. Now, if tums were the simply affair you ever liked almost cats, then you might take a abdomen fetish, but this just sounds like a crush. I wouldn't get ordering that gimp costume from Amazon just yet. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addicts,

Karen and Tabs
