Whats up, buddy. How’s it hopping? Hope you’re having a hoppy Easter. ?
Right now I couldn’t assist however assume again to all of the enjoyable Easters we had with Tabs. That cat made every little thing really feel like an occasion. A part of it was his character. He was a boy cat, had that assured swagger. He may very well be calm, even round a bunch of children, vehicles and different loud noises. He’d simply casually lick his paw, sluggish blink, roll over and flash his tum. Little issues didn’t section him.
He additionally liked consideration, which he received lots of additionally due to this weblog and the place I used to be in life. We labored on the weblog collectively. He was each my employer (hehe!) and my inventive muse. For a lot of, a few years I labored hours and hours each day running a blog, and Tabs was proper there for all of it. He liked each picture shoot, or not less than he appeared to, even once I was bossing him round. “Come right here, Tabs! OK, image time. There you go. Have a look at me, take a look at the digicam! Good boy!” And I’d be snapping away with my digicam. He’d simply meow, saunter over and flash his beautiful tum once more.
On holidays like Easter, I’d costume him up in, sure, a custom-made felt cat collar or different flashy outfit, and he’d associate with it for a photograph shoot. It at all times took a number of photos to get a very good one, as is mostly at all times the case for running a blog or social media. The pics look good more often than not, however you understand how it’s. It most likely took 12 pictures to get one good one. That’s how it’s.
However, I child you not, each time I’d take down his costume field / wardrobe from the closet, Tabs would come working from wherever he was in the home. I’d hear a thud from someplace upstairs (him leaping down from a counter or the mattress to the ground), after which doomp, doomp, doomp from his paws on the ground and down the steps. He knew it meant we had been 1) going outdoors for a stroll and a pair of) going to be spending time collectively. Two issues he liked.
The character we conveyed on the weblog was his and mine. Certain, I added one thing to the combo. I imply, cats usually don’t keep a Spring to-do checklist. ? However I don’t assume it was removed from the reality both.
To me and our household, Tabs was bigger than life. He was a celeb to us, and he gave nearly as good as he received. He liked the eye. He might not have been “posing for the digicam,” per se, however he was posing for me.
Connor nonetheless remembers him and talks about him when she sees his pics. She is aware of he was her first animal buddy, and I like that they’ve so many photos collectively due to the weblog. A whole bunch if not hundreds of images from the 4 years they’d collectively earlier than Tabs handed.
Rosie is our cat now and he or she’s our particular feline member of the family, however I do miss the theatricality of life with Tabs. He was the right cat on the good time in my life, and I’ll at all times cherish it.
Thanks, buddy. Completely happy Easter, Tabs. Love and miss you at all times.
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
Karen
