Some cats are giant. Tabs was too. In truth, he was bigger than life. Virtually 20 kilos of fierce feline fabulosity. I miss him a lot this time of 12 months. Each Christmas, I’m reminded of all of the Tabs-ian misadventures he embarked upon, just like the TIMEs — plural — he knocked over the Christmas tree. Yup, not simply as soon as. It was his factor for some time, however I digress… Right here’s a look again a number of years at a Christmas weekend starring Tabs. 🐱🎁🌲

Earlier than we left the home yesterday, and truly I do that each time I go away for a visit, El Hub, Connor and I spent a very long time telling Tabs that we love him, that we’re going to overlook him, and that we hope he doesn’t throw any ragers whereas we’re gone.

It’s true, although. At any time when I am going wherever with out Tabs, I really feel like I go away a part of my coronary heart ? behind (though I don’t know if he cares that a lot about me, to be sincere).

As you may see from these pics from his newest picture unfold together with his favourite pet sitter/freelance photographer, he was very enthusiastic about getting dressed up and celebrating Christmas Eve on the dwelling workplace on his personal.

He despatched me a textual content earlier to ask if it was OK if his previous CIA buddies came to visit for a go to, and at first I used to be like, “You have been within the CIA”? And he mentioned, “Mrow,” which, loosely translated to human communicate, means, “Sure, how may you haven’t recognized? I didn’t precisely preserve it a secret.”

After all, being within the Christmas spirit, I advised him “positive,” so, as you’re studying this, half a dozen CIA kitties have descended upon Novato, California, and no person is aware of or has any thought what’s occurring, as a result of they’re sneaky like that…

Oh! — Tabs let me pick his Christmas tie this 12 months (I assume he was feeling beneficiant). I went with purple and white as a result of I assumed the purple would play off the inexperienced in his eyes, and the sweet sample is symbolic of his sweetness. 🙂

Earlier than we left the home, El Hub tucked a number of deal with into Tabs’s stocking, I wouldn’t be stunned if Tabs tucked some presents beneath the tree for us, too.

Wishing you and your kitty household a really meowy Christmas,
