Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends
Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!
We don't understand why some small factions of peeps want to eradicate heritage and try to rewrite history. We are all for forward movement and progress, but we can't change history no matter how we try, well not unless somepawdy steals our Time Travelling Telephone Box and goes messing with the timeline, but then would it really change for the better?
In our humble opinion, if we're allowed to have one anymore, that the best way to deal with history of an unpleasant nature is to learn from it and try not to make the same mistakes, not ram it up everypawdy that it needs to be eradicated. If things are deleted and omitted, then society can't learn and basically, that kind of thought process is akin to the events in the early 1940s when a certain person tried to take over the world and rewrite previous events, especially with the book burning and censorship that was being enforced.
It didn't end well for millions of innocent people, and yet today in 2023, eighty years later when we live in the most enlightened of times, with the best of everything compared to early generations, a small minority are deeply unhappy about how truly lucky we are. Everypawdy is entitled to an opinion, so if they all agreed to disagree, and purrhaps, they'd see life for how truly wondrous it is, and let's be kind and understanding to each other.
Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.
First up in the news this week
Early Cats Get More Breakfast
Every morning, it's the same four kitties who are first on the scene for breakfast, while Melvyn and Amber are still in a kitty coma until mid-morning. By the time those two finally arise, this lot are already on their second and sometimes if not third breakfasts.
The early cat really does scoff all the snacks! MOL
Next up in the news
Smooch Pondering a New Crafting Project in The Craft Room
Smooch was deep in thought on Sunday in the craft room.
He was pondering what we could make next for our summer crafting post and he thought by surrounding himself with previous projects, it might inspire him to new levels of crafting greatness! MOL
Mew can see three behind him:
And he was actually looking straight at: The Catmas Tree and the Haunted House. Mew can find all our previous crafting posts by clicking here.
Anyhoo, he's trying to come up with something really fun for the summer, and if mew have any ideas for him, leave them in the comments below.

The Coronation was quite an amazing spectacle, for sure. Wowzers!
ReplyDeleteWe're thinking stars and moon next, Melvyn! We love those shots of you four early (cat) birds getting the most noms. :) And Smooch, what crafts are coming next?
Concats to Mewz Oz, Bean and Winston on the win!
Looking food Melvyn!
ReplyDeleteI actually am pleased the UK has a new and open Royalty relationship with the world. It seems that most "regular" people are not allowed to have validated opinions on any subject. How did this come to be? Other groups do indeed have opinions that are voiced and overshadow the rest.
ReplyDeletePrecious would never ever ever miss breakfast! To think 2 of yours are still resting is amazing. We look forward to see your crafting. Lynn and Precious
TRUTH
DeleteLove your breakfast time. All getting along too.
ReplyDeleteSmooch and Melvyn are most good looking.
I choose #5 for next week.
Have a purrfect day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties and a big hug to mom. ♥
I choose #1...moon and stars. Concats to the winner just announced, and Mom was reading this bloggie to me...and she said she agrees 100% with your mom.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, especially the early breakfast one! And Melvyn looks really snazzy in the Caticorn bandana! I really like the catcus bandana for the next one but they're all cute. Many congrats to Mews Oz, Bean, and Winston. I did miss the coronation as I don't see much TV these days, may catch it later. I'm just glad to see British friends happy. I admire Queen Elizabeth's service in WW2, and as a side note, my husband has always credited Churchill with saving the free world.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. The Royal family and the pageantry that goes with it has been around for a very long time. From the worldwide viewing figures it is still very popular throughout most of the world. Imagining having a President makes me shudder!
ReplyDeleteMelvyn takes his modelling very seriously.
Congrats to the winners.
Concats to the Winner.
ReplyDeleteI saw some of the Coronation but maybe being American I just didn't understand it all but hearing some think they can get along without a King makes me Wonder if they really could. We have a President here in America and everything is in chaos so it makes one wonder...
If I had a time travelling telephone booth I would go back to yesterday so I would know what happens.
ReplyDeleteTea Party Bandana!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the lucky winner. I did watch some of the Coronation and enjoyed it. Looking good Melvyn. I choose the teapots for next week. XO
ReplyDeleteThe Coronation was fantastic; loved every moment of it.
ReplyDeleteConcats to the winners!
Tea Party Special gets my bandana vote.
I like the catcus bandana. I can't believe Amber and Melvyn miss early breakfast! Smooch, I can't wait to see what new craft you make. Congratulations to Mews Oz, Bean and Winston!
ReplyDeleteOur #1 enjoyed the coronation tremendously! She was in hospital (in France) and an English friend came with strawberry tarts to watch it together.
ReplyDeleteWe vote for trying out the first bandana next (stars and moon).
Purrs,
The Chans
Congratulations to the winner š» Melvyn you look awesome xx tea party bandana.šøxxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun contest you had, i'm very happy for the winners.
ReplyDeleteI was unable to watch the coronation, i work Monday through Saturday. There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want to do, or all the TV watching, either.
Melvyn rocks the bandana, maybe he should go from that straight to the cactus and get that one over. I like cacti, but not necessarily to wear, i'd want that one finished!
For a summer craft, how about something along the lines of a feline "swimming pool"? I'm picturing a big cat bed, or even a dog bed repurposed, and lots of fun things for a cat do to in or on it somehow. Might be too hard, but it also might be the start of the germ of an idea.
Thank you for joining Feline Friday!
