Splendiferous Greetings, My Pawesome Furiends!

 I've really missed my Brain Training posts, and I can't believe it was Easter the last time I shared one! Oh my, how time flies when mew're having fun in The Basilverse!!! MOL 

As mew know, it's that time of the year again, when the ghouls, ghosties, zombies and all things nasty that go bump in the night get to roam, so in true BBHQ style, we take our Annual Mewton-Clawson Zombie Hunt very seriously.

Yes, we have the purrmits and full authority to exercise extreme prejudice against all things undead, and this year we're making sure that every single one of those muther fluffers gets bagged and tagged, plus we get paid out on how many we get, so it's great for the environment, the local villagers and us - total purrfection! MOL  

A distressed, vintage-style Halloween zombie hunter identification card for the BBHQ Mewton-Clawson Annual Zombie Hunt 2026. The card features Basil, a grey-and-white tabby cat wearing a red military beret, tactical gear and ammunition belts, holding a futuristic weapon against a moonlit, zombie-infested backdrop. Stamped “APPROVED,” the official zombie hunter permit identifies Basil as Wing Commander Basil and includes mission details, authorisation information, rules of engagement and a Mewton-Clawson crest. Blood splatters, paw prints, skulls, biohazard symbols and weathered parchment textures enhance the dramatic post-apocalyptic design. A bold red banner along the bottom reads “OFFICIAL 2026 ZOMBIE HUNTER,” with the motto “CLEANER VILLAGES • SAFER ROADS • HAPPIER CATS.”

Oh, and if mew're wondering how we got this year's photo a few days before the main event, remember we've got Astrid the T.T.T.B. - Time Travelling Telephone Box - so we were able to get all the footage and then share with mew ahead of time - epic, huh?

OPERATION A.M.C.Z.H. 2026

A dramatic, action-packed Halloween zombie hunt scene featuring Wing Commander Basil, a tabby-and-white cat wearing a red military beret and futuristic black tactical armour. Basil stands heroically in the centre of a ruined, fire-lit village street, gripping a high-tech rifle with glowing red laser sights as hordes of snarling zombie cats and other undead creatures close in around him. A sign reading “The Quarter Moon” hangs outside a tavern, while a weathered “Mewton-Clawson” sign marks the village. Behind him, a Gothic clock tower rises beneath a huge glowing full moon, with bats circling overhead. Burning buildings, swirling smoke, scattered debris and eerie orange streetlamps create a spectacular post-apocalyptic battlefield, rendered in richly detailed cinematic fantasy style. ©BionicBasil®

It was a full-on night, and I think extra undead were secretly shipped just for the occasion, but as mew can see, I wasn't fazed; it was just another Tuesday in the Basilverse! 

And mew know how I love Tuesdays!!! MOL MOL

Crossword, Sudoku and word-search sheets are scattered across a desk in the foreground.

Wow, even I'm impressed we've done that many over the years!
