There are also big cats. So was the tab. In fact, he was larger than life. Approximately 20 pounds of ferocious cat magnificence. I miss him so much during this time. Every Christmas, I think of all the misadventures of the Tab family he started, like the times (plural) where he knocked over the Christmas tree. No, not just once. That was his hobby for a while, but I digress… Let’s take a look back at the Christmas weekends Tubbs performed over the years. 🐱🎁🌲
Before I left home yesterday, which I actually do every time I travel, El Hub, Connor, and I took a long time to tell Tubbs that we loved him and that we would miss him. We told them what would happen and what we hoped for. He doesn’t throw a rager while we’re gone.
But it’s true. Do I feel like I’m forgetting a part of my heart if I go anywhere without tabs? (To be honest, I’m not sure he cares about me that much).
As you can see from the latest photo published with his favorite pet sitter and freelance photographer, he was very excited to get dressed up and celebrate Christmas Eve alone in his home office.
He texted me once and asked if it was okay for his old CIA buddies to come visit. At first I thought, “You were in the CIA?” And he said, “Mallow.” This roughly translates into human speech to mean, “Yes, how did you not know?” It wasn’t exactly a secret. ”
Of course, I was in the Christmas spirit, so I told him, “Sure.” So while you’re reading this, six CIA kittens have descended on Novato, California, and no one knows what’s going on, or at all. You’re so sneaky…
oh! — Tubbs let me choose a tie for this year’s Christmas (I think he was being generous). He chose red and white because he thought red would complement the green in his eyes. The candy pattern symbolizes his sweetness. 🙂
Before we left the house, El Hab tucked some treats into Tab’s stocking. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tab hid presents under the tree for us.
I hope you and your kitty family have a very meowy Christmas.
