:Party 3: :H: :A: :P: :P: :Y: :A: :N: :N: :I: :V: :E: :R: :S: :A: :R: :Y: :Party 3:
Tabs joined us on Thursday, 28th June 2007, not altogether willingly at first. We don’t know how long he had been out there on his own, but he had been popping in to visit us for the odd snack or two since April that year.
It took quite a few months, before he became fully integrated into our furry family, as we had to take things very slowly when we found out that he had tested positive for FIV. In the early days, even though he seemed to cope with people reasonably well, it took some time for his hormones to settle down, and he just wanted to attack all our furbabes :scared:
As he gradually became calmer, he was given more access to the rest of the house, and more importantly to him, he had more access to his Daddy. Tabs has turned into a real Daddy’s boy :Luv2: :Luv2:
We gradually increased the amount of time that he was allowed his freedom during February this year, and since March, he has been able to go wherever he likes, whenever he likes. Tatty is in charge of upstairs where he hangs out in the bedrooms with Tommy and Suki, and Tabs is now in charge of our downstairs, and is perfectly happy to share the living room with Sweepy and Gizzy. Tatty and Tabs appear to have declared some kind of truce, and although they don’t like each other, they don’t fight when they occupy the same space any more ;D
I am so proud of my little boy - we have come a long way, in just one year :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Sometimes I thought we would never reach this stage. Here’s hoping for many, many more years together :wish:
Here are a few photos of our boy over the last year: :sneaky: :rofl:

I know this pic was in the Purrs Photo Cat Show, but it is one of my favorites, and I think Tabs looks like a little star in it

He is a glorious boy! The difference between the first pic and the second tells a story of pampering. He's extremely handsome and such a daddy's boy and a stunning tummy. You're a wee bit spoiled tbh Sylvia with your "little" troop and I am heartily jealous ;)

Happy Adoption Day Tabs ;D
I have loved Tabs from the very first pictures you posted of him, so handsome ;D

Gorgeous - I just love the close up photo of his face - so sweet and handsome. Hope you have many more happy years together.
One of the poses reminded me of my 1st cat Tibby who lived to be 26.

Tabs just wanted to say a big :thankyou: to everyone for your lovely comments.
He had a lovely day, and even though he turned his nose up at the prawns we offered him, he tucked into a bowl of Bozita with gusto :P
When we got back from picking strawberries in the afternoon, Tabs had great fun distracting me from assisting me with some gardening :rofl: , and later had loads of cuddles from his Daddy in front of the TV :Luv:
:thanks: once again to everyone, and purrs and headbutts from Tabs :Flowers:
