Tabs and Rosie have wildly different personalities, but one thing they do have in common is their absolute love for alone time, a.k.a. meow time.

Both cats, without any prompting, have abruptly shuttled us out of the house so they could spend time by themselves.

Tabs cherished his quiet time in large part because of his hectic schedule. His weekends spent alone were few and far between due to the demands of celebrity, but when he did have a quiet weekend, he did some of his best career planning and creative thinking.

He was really good at refilling his well. When he felt tapped out, he made sure to take a 15-hour nap.

Rosie

When Rosie’s alone, I want to believe she’s napping, because she’s also a workaholic and tends to come at things, even relaxation, with intensity.

When she kicks us out of the house like she did this weekend, I hope she doesn’t spend the whole time calculating and formulating and science-ing the heck out of everything. I hope she takes a cue from Tabs and chills out a bit.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
