Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday everypawdy, and great news, we've had rain!!!! WOOOO HOOOO! 

It's not that exciting, but after the scorching weather of the last few weeks with hardly any rain, it was very welcome at BBHQ. And it was the nice steady pitter-patter stuff, the hulking deluge that the weather peeps forecast. The temperatures have dropped to a very clement low 20s Celsius, so it's a lot more tolerable.

We don't have any flower photos for mew this week, but we do have this:

Parlsey was fixated on the wall under the gazebo the other day, so the P.A. went to investigate what was so alluring, and this is what she saw.

A dark, fuzzy caterpillar climbs vertically up a red brick wall at BBHQ, with green leaves partially framing the foreground. The caterpillar’s detailed texture and movement contrast sharply against the rugged brick surface, creating a dynamic nature shot perfect for wildlife photography, garden exploration blogs, and seasonal insect content.

Just look at that fuzzy fluffer! MOL

No wonder Parsley was intrigued!

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

Among the blossoms, butterflies in soft hues of blue, lilac, and white flutter gently, creating a dreamy, spring-like atmosphere. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility and gentle movement—an ideal natural break between blog sections or story chapters on BionicBasil.blogspot.com.

First up in the news this week

Amber Says No Fudge, Get Off My Sofa


Ginger cat Fudge at BBHQ steps down from a black leather sofa, beside a white plush toy cat posed upright. The sofa is decorated with a grey-and-white striped blanket and a fluffy white cushion. Green houseplants frame the cozy room, while a window reveals an outdoor garden with a barrel planter blooming pink flowers. A whimsical and warm indoor-outdoor pet scene from www.bionicbasil.com

So the other day, when Amber was enjoying a snooze on HER sofa in the catservatory, Fudge thought it would be a really good idea to join her! 

Yep, that didn't happen...

 Parsley's Quality Control Checks

Mew remember the deck Cat Dad was building last year? 

Well, we've finally decided on a design. Hopefully, the deck will be completed soon... (MOL MOL MOL!!! OR NOT!!!)

Parlsey is conducting his quality control checks, as he needs to ensure the wooden sleepers are suitable for the job.  

So far, his report is quite encouraging! MOL

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


This week Melvyn is modelling the fourth bandana of July, and mew voted for Popcorn Purrlease.

Melvyn, BBHQ’s white and tabby cat, models the Popcorn Purrlease bandana—a vibrant yellow accessory featuring playful popcorn illustrations. Seated confidently on a plush, dark purple chair, Melvyn showcases the bold neckwear against a cozy indoor backdrop.

    Cactus bandana gets my vote.
    Wonder what type of butterfly will emerge from that caterpillar?

  2. Nobody disturbs Amber, you'd think everyone would know the drill by now.

    I'm glad you got rain and hope you get more, but not too much.

    Great modeling, Melvyn!
