You know how the notion of balance is big these days? Balance at work, balance at home, work-life balance, balancing life, love, career? Well, Tabs was big into balance way before it was en vogue. In fact, one of his first jobs was working in the Marin County Circus. It was there he learned to tune out distractions, focus his chi, and achieve the perfect poise and balance that propelled him to the top of the kitty modeling world. He only left because he wanted more from life than the circus could offer… Mostly he wanted to wear better clothes...

This morning Tabs turned to me and said, “You know, it’s a funny thing… Legacy.” “How so?” I replied. He paused, slowly poured himself a second cup of catnip tea and plucked a chamomile cookie from his favorite white porcelain dish. “I just… I hope you didn’t mind taking care of me all these years. You really have been the best pet assistant and friend I ever dreamed of.” I sighed. “Oh, Tabs,” I said, scratching him between his ears, “you’ve made me the happiest, luckiest girl in the world.

Have you heard of Saje Wellness? They’re kindasorta like the Canadian Aveda, and all of their products, which are cruelty-free, are made using plant-based essential oil blends, with lots of products for your body and your home.

When you’re well into your second decade of life, sometimes you can’t help but look back at the cats, toddlers and humans you’ve known, the places you’ve been, the flowers you’ve sniffed, the collars you’ve rocked, and the makeup looks you’ve inspired. Call it a fall career retrospective, if you will. Tabs (and I) got a little emo today looking back at old pics from falls of yore. Fall has always been one of Tabs’ favorite times of year, and not just because the turkeys are plump and the grass is extra green and tasty, but also because of fall...

G’morning! As I sipped my coffee from my favorite cat teacup this morning, I got to thinking about matte nail polish… It’s not my favorite thing. They look like a car with a paint job that was suddenly abandoned halfway. But that dark purple matte from the Chanel fall collection, though? *swoon* It’s everything. I’ve been hemming and hawing about whether I should “go there,” because I promised myself after The Great Gel Nail Polish Debacle of Summer 2018 that I’d take better care of my nails, and I told myself I’d care for them and paint them every week....
