Supurr Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Last week we mentioned that we were hoping to crop the catnip plants, weather permitting. And on Sunday afternoon, the P.A. got the secateurs and off she went like Edward Scissorhands! MOL

This was two pots prior to cutting.

The P.A. got six good-sized bundles in total, so not a bad haul, plus there's still some left as there were some spider webs that she didn't want to disturb. So there may be another crop in a couple of weeks if the spiders move on.

We didn't make the bundles too big, as they need the air to circulate, and after tying them together, they were carefully conveyed under the carport.

And this is where they will hang for the next few weeks until they've gone nice and crispy. So stay tuned for another update soon.

We will say this, this crop seems rather potent, so we can't wait to try it! MOL

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.

First up in the news

Smooch Snoozing on The Shroom

Smooch decided that some Shroom-time was needed the other day, and enjoyed several hours of catnapping on this sumptuous velvet delight! 

If mew feel like making one, here's the link to The Love Shroom.

And we're just working on another Crafting with Cats post for Halloween, so we'll be sharing that later in the month.

Next up in the news

Fudge Missing Out on a Second Breakfast

Apologies for the blurry photo, but the P.A. was actually laughing so hard at Fudge's utter outrage at missing out on a second breakfast while Amber, Melvyn, Smooch and Pandora were lapping it up! MOL

Too funny for sure!

 That'll teach him for not putting his alarm clock on.

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


Last week mew voted for the Black Spider Webs plus the Pumpkins & Black Cats Bandanas. 

So here's BBHQ's top model doing what he does best! MOL

  9. Looking good Melvyn. That is a lot of nip. I love that shroom. Your PA is so talented. XO

  10. That looks like quite a lovely harvest of catnip, I know you will all enjoy it.

    A velvet cushion bed! I'd want one. Of course, it would have to be much bigger.

    Fudge, you can simply say, "Oh, Fudge!" when you miss out on such a delightful treat.

    Melvyn is quite handsome in the spider webs, I'd love to see the other spider bandana as well as the Ravens. Those are some mighty smart birds.

    The Q&A would be fun to read, to get the details that were missed.
