Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 258

Dear Tabby is written by Tabs the Cat, unremarkably regarded as "the world's commencement plus-size kitty supermodel." Founded in mid 2012, it has rapidly get the almost widely syndicated true cat advice column on earth — known for its fresh, feline perspective on lifestyle, fashion and style bug affecting cats and humans.

A dairy dilemma

Honey TABBY: What's the proper etiquette when it comes to disposing of leftover milk in your basin?

I experience similar dumping information technology out would be wasteful, and when I try to lick upward every final drop, the bowl skitters and scoots across the floor, which but seems like bad decorum.

I'm thinking about having my assistant spoon feed it to me, but even that seems a bit much.

Does the answer depend on whether you're eating in or dining out?

— Got Milk in One thousand Junction

Honey GOT MILK: If y'all're dining out — say, visiting a neighbour cat — you should become easy on the basin. Yous definitely don't desire to lick it with so much force that it scoots across the floor. That would be faux paw.

Simply if yous're at home, well, anything goes!

Club your banana to spoon feed it to you one of these days, and meet how she does. I haven't tried that yet (not notwithstanding), but I do accept my assistant hand feed me echinacea leaves from my garden, one leaf at a time.

Cat-nipped conversationalists

Love TABBY: I was wondering, why do some cats get and so talkative on catnip? And they always, E'er talk about themselves?

— Curious in Chicago

DEAR CURIOUS: They're probably doing information technology because the catnip has lowered their inhibitions, encouraging them to open up.

Or, because they think the subject is fascinating, and you're a skillful listener.

Tardy nanny a source of stress

DEAR TABBY: My electric current assistant/nanny, Laverne, has adequately assisted me and my ii kittens for the past six months.

She'southward non a terrible assistant by whatever ways, and I know I could do a lot worse. The kittens appear to like her, and I'grand generally satisfied with her performance, simply I do accept two issues with Laverne that I'thousand not sure how to address.

She spends too much time away from the function, and she'southward ever tardily for the afternoon/evening shift. She leaves first affair every morning, and and so strolls back in betwixt vi:05-6:15.

It's unnerving.

Tabby, her shift starts at vi on the dot. Not 6:x or six:05. six o'clock sharp.

Peradventure it shouldn't issues me, just information technology does…

And the other thing is really only a problem this time of year. You see, on hot, boiling days, Laverne smells pretty stinky. Like wet dog food.

In the wintertime, it'southward non a problem, but one 24-hour interval last week the scent was so bad that I had to hide in the linen closet all day.

What should I exercise, Tabby? Am I making mountains out of two mole hills?

— Punctual in Poughkeepsie

DEAR PUNCTUAL: A proficient employer sets the ground rules, kitty. I trust yous made them clear when Laverne was hired.

Remind Laverne about the hours stated in her employment agreement, and inform her that she runs the risk of having her pay docked if her tardiness continues.

If she takes public transportation to and from your office, effort to be flexible, but politely suggest that she leave her other engagements a few minutes earlier, to ensure her arrival to work on time.

Every bit for Laverne's personal hygiene, exist direct. Tell her that you expect her to shower and put on fresh clothes before arriving at the function in the evening. Where there's a volition, there'due south a way.

A bulletin from beyond?

Dear TABBY: Coco, my precious kitty employer of fifteen wonderful years, crossed over to the rainbow bridge earlier this yr.

Sometimes the Television receiver volition mysteriously plow on in the middle of the nighttime — to Creature Planet, which we would always watch together — and I'm wondering if it'southward a technical glitch or a sign of something more.

A fellow assistant suggested that it could be Coco's spirit letting me know that he'south still thinking about me.

I want to believe, Tabby, merely I don't know. Have you ever heard of anything like this before?

— Mystery in Milwaukee

DEAR MYSTERY: Hmm… Well, in one case as I was playing with the remote control, the TV mysteriously turned on to a show about ghosts.

But that'southward not of import. What's of import here is what y'all believe.

If you experience like Coco is still with you, and it brings y'all comfort or joy, then it'due south real.

Thinking about ink

Beloved TABBY: My banana of several years is because having my proper name and face up tattooed on his arm, simply I am not a fan of tattoos and would prefer that my proper noun and likeness not be displayed in this manner.

Do I have the legal correct to stop him? And if I practise, should I even try? My assistant is quite willful, and I'grand agape that if I endeavor to put my manus down, it will only encourage him more.

I value your stance, Tabby. What would you practise in this situation?

— No Tats in Toledo

DEAR NO TATS: Unfortunately, yous can't control what your banana does with his body, but y'all can enforce an existing employment agreement after the fact. Does your workplace have a dress code? If and so, y'all might want to remind him of that.

I know you're trying to avoid a disharmonize, but have y'all even broached the subject? Sometimes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Be polite notwithstanding business firm. Who knows? He may change his mind.

Good luck, and allow me know how it goes.

Your friendly neighborhood dazzler addicts,

Karen and Tabs
