This was an exciting time of year for Tabs. Company coming over, trees INSIDE the house, blinking lights, the biggest turkeys of the year — for a cat like Tabs, the holidays were a cat cornucopia of comfy couches, fragrant foliage, tinsel, tasty treats and plump plumage.
As the head of the decorating committee for Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC, Tabs was responsible for the Christmas tree decorations, and I just sort of did what he said.
Normally, it would go down something like this: first week of December, and he hadn’t decided on the overall theme yet, but he’d have it narrowed down to something like baked red, green and silver catnip crispy ornament treats or strings of classic white lights and red Christmas balls.
Probably. But he wouldn’t be sure yet.
Whichever way it went, he always got a lot of help. The decorating committee was always on standby and awaiting orders.
And Tabs? Well, he was always late because of this or that. A lot of the time it was just because his morning patrol ran long. They were usually uneventful, except for one or two cats who’d try to steal one of the decorative catnip plants by the company main entrance.
But nine times out of 10, Tabs would stare them down, and they’d skulk away.
This is and always has been a great time of year for cats. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
