**THE BBHQ MEW YEARS EVE NEWS ROUND-UP** Fudge's Living The High Life, Smooch Crushed The Cat Cave, Pandora and Parsley's Sit-Off (Stand-Off), and Melvyn's Modelling This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

A festive New Year’s Eve collage featuring ten cats wearing red and white Santa hats, arranged around a central headline that reads: “MEW YEARS EVE NEWS ROUND UP WITH THE B TEAM @BIONICBASIL” The background includes red and white patterns, holly leaves, and stylized newspaper graphics labelled “NEWS.” In the upper right corner, one cat has a speech bubble saying: “WHAT’S THE GOSSIP THIS WEEK?” The image playfully blends holiday cheer with feline-themed news, creating a whimsical and humorous celebration with The B Team.

Epically Festive Mew Years Eve Greetings Epic Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

We do hope mew've all been having a most epically epic holiday week, and are ready for 2026?

The weather at BBHQ has been nothing of note; in fact, it's been a grey affair with multiple drizzly, damp moments. Although to mix things up just a smidge, we had a mild frost this morning, it didn't last long.

Fudge and Melvyn have been having a great time, the Santa Paws Sled is still a firm favourite, with its catnip cushions.

Melvyn, the brown and white tabby cat, stands comfortably on a festive red and white Santa Paws Sled in a cozy indoor holiday setting. Nearby, Fudge, a ginger tabby cat, sits on the floor next to a cone-shaped Catmas Tree scratching post decorated with ornaments and gift boxes. A beautifully lit Christmas tree stands in the background, and large windows fill the room with natural light. Outside, a red British-style telephone booth adds a whimsical touch to the scene.

And the Catmas Tree Scratcher is the best thing ever since Smooch created the Mind-Bender Nip Cocktail a few years ago! MOL

We'll be in the bunker later for our annual pawty, join us if mew get time! The password to enter the bunker is: Amber's NOT a Lush!!! MOL

Let's look at this week's news.
First up in the news

Fudge's Living The High Life


Fudge, a fluffy ginger tabby cat with green eyes, lounges comfortably on a curved wooden shelf mounted to a brick wall. His body is stretched out with his tail hanging over the edge, capturing a moment of relaxed feline elegance. The rustic brick backdrop and white molding below the shelf add warmth and charm to the cozy setting. Text at the bottom reads: “copyright www.bionicbasil.com”

Fudge was enjoying an early-afternoon nap on the cat shelf in the catservatory. He was snoozing until the P.A. appeared. She tripped over the rug, swore loudly and woke him up! #OHDEAR MOL

He said, and I quote, "Mew need to look where mew're walking, not out of the windows!"

Sadly, I can't repeat the reply!!! MOL

Next up in the news

Smooch Crushed The Cat Cave


Smooch, a white cat with black markings, rests peacefully inside a cozy gray felt cat bed with a red and white striped cushion. He wears a collar with a red bell and looks relaxed and content. The surrounding area features textured pillows and blankets, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Text at the bottom reads: “copyright www.bionicbasil.com”

We brought the cat cave in from the catservatory for Smooch and put it on the sofa in the sitting room. We thought he'd get inside, and supurr comfy, but no, he decided that a bit of remodelling was required and promptly sat on it! MOL

Pandora and Parsley's Sit-Off (Stand-Off)


Pandora, a tortoiseshell cat with a mix of dark and warm-toned fur, sits in the foreground on a woven rug, facing away from the camera. Further down the hallway, Parsley, a sleek black cat, is also facing away, positioned near a white door and a column-style plant stand. The hallway features light wooden flooring and a cozy, domestic atmosphere with a beige chair and soft lighting. The scene captures a quiet moment of symmetry and feline companionship. Text at the bottom reads: “copyright www.bionicbasil.com”

Pandora and Parsley have a love mew one minute, don't look at me the next type of relationship. This was the other day, when Parlsey took ownership of the kitchen, and Pandora wanted to get to the laundry for snacks.

It was a bit like a Lord of the Rings moment with Gandalf.

"MEW SHALL NOT PASS!"

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


Melvyn's modelling the Jingle All The Way to start the New Year!

Melvyn, a white and brown tabby cat, stands on a wooden floor indoors wearing a festive holiday-themed bandana. The bandana features colorful words like “HOLIDAY,” “WAY,” and “WISH,” along with snowflake designs. Melvyn looks to the left, alert and curious. In the background, chairs and seasonal decorations hint at a cozy Christmas setting. Text at the bottom reads: “copyright www.bionicbasil.com”

 Melvyn is looking supurr epically cute, and he's really looking forward to 2026. He's decided that, even if a modelling agency wanted to sign him, commercial modelling really isn't for him; he just likes to do it because he can. 

Check out Melvyn's videos on your preferred social media channel:



That's us done for today, we'll be back tomorrow with a Mew Years greeting, and Amber will be back on Friday with another meowvellous book, and if mew missed any other posts, here are the links:

  1. Happy New Year's Eve! I've told Link Linker the Stinker the code to get into the pawty and he tried not to laugh. He'll be along shortly, I'm sure, after he begs one more snack out of his CatDad.

    It's great to see all of you. Melvyn, you are wise not to want to model professionally, I understand it's a rough business. Pandora, I hope you got snacks.
