Welcome to another fab Brain Training sesh on the blog today.

This week, I'm sharing a throwback from December 2017, when I was feeling most festively feline! MOL

Basil, a white and brown tabby cat, sits calmly on a brick pathway in a garden. He wears a red collar with a black tag and a digitally added red and white Santa hat, adding a festive touch. The background features green grass and garden plants, framed with a sparkling white holiday border. Text at the bottom reads: “copyright www.bionicbasil.com”

    That is a lovely Catmas flashback of you Wing Commander Basil. Thanks for the puzzles. I originally shortened Wing Commander to WC, but it looked inappropriate for a cat of your standing!
