What's In The Box? ~ LoveBug Insect-Based Cat Food ~ NOM ON FLUFFIES! **PLUS U.K. GIVEAWAY**

Welcome to

What's In The Box on In The Spotlight ©BionicBasil®

Wunderpurr greetings fabulous fluffies

Today we're sharing one of our *sponsored posts with mew from the fabulous peeps at...


...who asked us a few weeks ago if we'd like to try their ameowzing insect-based cat complete kibble.



So let's show mew what was in the box

As always, Fudge was furst on paw to see what was happening and if there was anything delicious on offer.

TYPICAL of The Ginger Dyson! MOL 


 Let's take a Closer Look

What's In The Box ©BionicBasil® Lovebug Insect-Based Cat Food - Kibble

This is the furst 100% insect-based cat food available in the U.K. today, and the basic ingredient of this food is black soldier fly larvae. It looks and smells just like any other kibble/dry food, although for more in-depth info, purrlease check out Lovebug's FAQ page here; we were there for a good 30 minutes reading all the data, it's really informative.

Though as with all new foods, if mew have any concerns at all purrlease check with your purrsonal veterinarian before any switch occurs.

Anyhoo, let's show mew what Melvyn and Fudge thought to these noms.


If the video doesn't play, purrlease click here to view direct on YouTube. (It is scheduled to go live at 12.15am GMT, but if the interwebs gremlins are playing up, many apologies, and we will fix it asap.)

As mew can see, Fudge couldn't wait and nommed it with much vigour. Melvyn gave it all paws up too, although his style of eating is pawsitively snails-ville compared to Fudge's! MOL



Our closing thoughts

If mew didn't know what it was made from, mew'd have no idea mew're eating insects. It smells really nom'a'licious, and has a great crunchy texture which helps keep our fangs clean, in fact we were extremely impurressed by it.

What we really like:

It's a supurr tasty and sustainable alternative to regular complete dry food and is easily digestible.

It's been developed with pet nutritionists.

Mew can subscribe to their pawesome subscription service.

It is a protein alternative to regular cat food, therefore being a sustainable product and better for the planet.

All their full-size packaging is 100% recyclable, and the sample boxes we got to try have a recyclable cardboard outer and a compostable inner bag, or this can be recycled too.

It contains no palm oil either.

It's an easy transition to switch to this new cat food.

There are oodles of pawsitives for moving to a cat food like this, not only because it's a greener product, kinder to the planet with completely recyclable packaging, it's also better for our farmyard furiends, and that in itself is a huge plus in our book.

This cat food may not appeal to everyone, though we would suggest that it doesn't hurt to try new things, mew could be epically surprised and be a total convert. And by adopting greener and more environmentally furiendly products, we're helping our planet for future generations, what's better than that?

We think Lovebug insect-based complete cat food is totally

TOP PAW!

If mew're looking for a tasty and nutritious alternative to regular dry cat food, we think this is definitely worth trying.


GIVEAWAY

Sadly guys, this is only open to U.K. residents only, but feel free to share with your furiends on social media and other channels. Share the love.

Up for grabs are two prizes of 7 x trial boxes of LOVEBUG insect-based cat food as seen being modelled by Fudge.

Welcome To Our 8 Things About... Post And Today It's All About Pandora

Welcome to

8 Things About The B Team @BionicBasil®

WOO HOO pawesome pals

Welcome to another:- 8 Things About...  

8 Things About WHAT though?! we hear mew ask. Well fabulous furiends it could be 8 things about anything, but today it's all about...
Pandora ©BionicBasil®
8 Things About The B Team @BionicBasil® Pandora


8 Things About Pandora

1.  Pandora has been with The B Team since last Spring [2017] and this was her shelter mugshot...

8 Things About The B Team @BionicBasil® Pandora

... doesn't she look so sweet?

The P.A. had no idea when Pandora arrived that she would get any fluffier, but aftur a few months with us, she basically turned into an Ewok/Sasquatch cat aka Supurr Furry Anipal! MOL 

She was found in a field and was pregnant. She had her kittens at the shelter and they all got adopted instantly and Pandora was left alone. She was incarcerated fur 3 months, well that is until we saw her and went and broke her out!

2. She is so fast, and I mean seriously fast and while she zooms around she meows and mews until she stops.


3. Pandora is the only cat we've effur met that doesn't like any of the following:

catnip and catmint - dried or fresh
dry food/kibble
or
any sort of  kitty treat

4.  Though she will eat - sometimes - fresh chicken, fresh prawns, silverside beef and on a rare occasion ham off bone. [expensive taste]

5. Pandora is our resident Feline Fashionista so if mew're looking fur cute, kitty apparel and accessories fur your Pet Hooman, Pandora Von Der Plume has mew covered!

6.  Pandora also speaks English with a French accent, apparently she spent time with The Resistance - though what she did fur them is still a bit of a mystery.  Howeffur she does have some amazing weapons skills, can hot-wire any vehicle, is an expert translator and top-notch negotiator, though we can't tell mew anymore because it's classified.


8 Things About The B Team @BionicBasil® Pandora

She is an invaluable memfur of The B Team

7.  She's quite a feisty diva too and will hold her own if effur a spat breaks out BBHQ [quite a rare occurrence] and she can stare anypurrdy down. In fact, she can be quite fierce - Don't Mess With Dora - she doesn't suffer fools and she has exceptional TORTI-TUDE!

8 Things About The B Team @BionicBasil® Pandora

8. And finally, though her official name is Pandora, we often call her Dora the Splorer as she loves to breach the perimeter fence and go on solo missions, and guys we don't know what she does, where she goes or who she meets - I need to put a tracker on her! MOL  



And that sadly brings us to the end of 8 Things About Pandora, we do hope mew enjoyed getting to learn more about our younger sisfur. 

Oh and there will be a new jigsaw on the puzzle page fur mew tomorrow just in case mew feel a need to while a few minutes away until our next post.

And if mew missed our previous 8 Things About posts, here are the links:





Thanks effur so much fur visiting today

Welcome to

Friday Fluffers withThe B Team @BionicBasil®

Happy Friyay Fab Pals

Welcome to our Friday Fluffers post where we showcase a selection of photo bloopers or photo fails from BBHQ, the photos that we thought would neffur see the light of day, buried deep, deep, deep in the archives on level 12 of our secret bunker, with no chance of effur being seen on the interwebs fur the wurld to see... UNTIL NOW!

Are mew ready fur some fun outtakes from The B Team? Of course, mew are!

And as it's the last Friday of the month, today is also...

This week we're also joining in Friday Fill-ins with the fabulous 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.
1. If I were one of the 7 dwarves, I would be _________.

2. I think television is _________.

3. _________ is a rule that I regularly break.

4. I can't believe _________ isn't more popular.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. If I were one of the 7 dwarves, I would be Hungry, LOL I know there's not one called Hungry, but there should be! 

2. I think television is pretty dull and uninspiring at the moment. There's not one show I'm watching regularly, as after a first episode of a new release I think, that's an hour of my life I'm not going to get back. In fact, Josh and I are only watching DVDs at the moment, so every night is movie at BBHQ.

3. ________ is a rule that I regularly break. You know I can't think of any thing for this, I'm a total law-abiding citizen! LOL

4. I can't believe ________ isn't more popular. If you'd asked me this 18 months ago I would have replied; gardening, tarting up old furniture, making your own clothes and soft furnishings, curtains etc... but I see that lockdown has spawned a trend of all the aforementioned. Way to go for getting a hobby. Epic!
