Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

How's your week going? 

We had a bit of a technical accident this week, the P.A. was working on the Catmas Header banner for the blog, and she'd just finished when she had the bright idea to resize it to use on our other social media.

Anyhoo, she accidentally resized the original picture, instead of resizing it as a new template as she would normally do. Needless to say, she completely fluffed it up along with all the other banners, and when she tried to reverse the action back to the blog header size, it had completely messed up all the graphics, shrinking them and creating extra hours of work to try and fix it. 

Plus, to add insult to the fluff up, for some reason she hadn't downloaded the Catmas banner after she had originally completed it. Mew can imagine the P.A.'s absolute horror after all those hours of work and then having to do it all again. 

And the moral of the story is, always resize as a new template! MOL

And that fluff-up led to another total disaster, as this years Crafting with Cats Catmas Special has now run out of time. We were hoping to post something tomorrow, but the time gods are sadly against us this season.

But the good news is this, mew can see all our previous Catmas Crafting Specials here:

Many apologies for the crafting disappointment, though we will make up for it with our Valentine's post in February.

Pandora's Bed Gets Moved


The Midweek News Round Up©BionicBasil® Pandora's Bed Gets Moved

The sitting room had a pre-Catmas deep clean last week, and Pandora's favourite bed was moved from in front of the patio doors next to the radiator while the weather has been supurr frosty.

The jury is still out on whether she's fully accepted the swap, but she seems to like it when the radiator is on! MOL

What do mew think if your pawrents move your bed?

And finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


The Festive Unicorns bandana won by a majority on the last post, so here's Melvyn in all his modelling glory! MOL

The Midweek News Round Up©BionicBasil® Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick - Festive Unicorns

Melvyn's usual modelling gig was disrupted again by Fudge, who seems to know Melvyn's modelling schedule now. Where he used to be snoozing when we were videoing, he now wants to be part of it, so in the new year, we'll get his contract sorted, and he can get a bit more catwalk time in.

Check out this week's final catwalk videos:

Wearing the Festive Unicorns bandana on YouTube featuring a really energetic run and on Instagram where Melvyn's got his sedate stride happening.

Doesn't he look furbulous?

And if mew missed last week's Catwalk Chaos video: Click here to view.

Which one should he model next?

  1. Darn. We are sorry about thoe technical difficulties, but your P.A. is human, so these things do happen from time to time, right?

    Pandora, how disorienting to have your bed moved! And Melvyn, how about New Years Pawty next?

  3. Sorry about the header issues. I hate it when I can't get it right.

    Love what was in the box. Lots of fabulous goodies.

    Jingle is my next choice and then we'll move to the New Year.

  4. Sorry to hear of the problems with the header, but it's looking good now. Love the cute picture of Pandora, and Melvyn looks so suave modeling this week. I like the New Year's Pawty one but I'm sure Melvyn will rock either bandana!

  9. Loved that video. Fudge is the best box-opener and keeps track of everything. Then he takes the box! His tail is stupendous. Merry Christmas!

  10. What a great Christmas box and Melvyn you look super cool. Jingle all the way would be a purrfect choice.xšŸ˜»šŸŽ„♥️

  11. Hello, all! Your PA still did a great job with the header even if it took longer than it should, i hate when that happens to me.

    All of you are wonderful kitties and i do not think beds should be moved more than an inch or two at a time, to let you get used to it being in a new place slowly. Yeah, that doesn't work well here, either, but i try.

    Melvyn is a great model, i think he'd look great in anything, or perhaps more accurately, he'd make any bandanna look great.
