Above them, a festive sign with red and blue ribbon accents reads: "Midweek News Round Up with The B Team @BionicBasil®". To the right, Basil has has his mouth open as if speaking, with a speech bubble that says, "WHAT'S THE GOSSIP THIS WEEK?"

Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Let's start with the weather report: It was cold, wet, squally and damp until  Monday, then yesterday it got drier and a bit more sunny, so that was quite nice to get a couple of sun puddles.

Remember on Friday, as part of the Fill-ins from 15 and Meowing, asked when the Catmas Tree goes up.

And then we found a picture of this, from 2023!

A festive Christmas tree at BBHQ is adorned with whimsical ornaments, including a standout felt mouse dressed in a red sweater. The mouse holds a small bunch of red berries with green leaves and hangs from the tree by a twine loop. Surrounding it are green pine needles, glowing string lights, and other decorations such as a red circular felt ornament and a white ornament with red dots. The scene radiates holiday cheer and cozy charm. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Yes, we have Catmas Mice on our tree, and no, they have nothing to do with the library mice

We did ask, but they refused! MOL MOL


Last week, the epically epic Tabbies of Trout Towne asked:

Iz de PA gonna get de tardiz box stiker 😸😸😸‼️🤎🧡

Well, now there's a thing, especially since she actually installed that Tardis wall sticker and saw how good it was. She just needs to find a space! MOL

First up in the news

Who's On The Roof Again - Fudge


Fudge, a ginger cat with a blue collar, stands alert on a moss-covered tiled roof. His wide eyes gaze upward with curiosity and intensity, capturing a moment of feline focus and adventure. The sky above is mostly cloudy, adding a dramatic backdrop to the rooftop scene. The image is framed with a white border and includes the text "copyright www.bionicbasil.com" at the bottom

Fudge couldn't help himself the other day and had to get on the roof again!

Next up in the news

Smooch, Pandora, Melvyn and Fudge


Smooch, Pandora, Melvyn, and Fudge are gathered indoors, viewed through a glass door from outside. Smooch, a white cat with black markings, sits directly in front of the door. Pandora, a fluffy dark-colored cat, stands slightly behind Smooch. Melvyn, a white cat with black patches, lies further back in the room. Fudge, an orange tabby, sits near the left side of the door. All four cats rest on a woven rug over light wooden flooring, gazing outward with curiosity. The image includes the text "copyright www.bionicbasil.com" at the bottom

Four sneaky cats are watching the wood being fetched in for the fire.  

They said, and I quote, "Fluff me, it's cold in here, any chance of getting it totally tropical?"

Yep, it got so tropical that we all moved into the catservatory where it was pawsitively Baltic! MOL

Melvyn's Taken Over The P.A.s New Office Chair


Melvyn, a tabby and white cat, is curled up asleep on a plush grey cushion atop a grey upholstered swivel chair. The chair sits in front of a desk with a pink mouse pad, white computer mouse, and a small potted plant. To the right, a fluffy pink cushion or blanket adds warmth to the space, while a colorful patchwork quilt is visible to the left. The room exudes a cozy, peaceful vibe with soft textures and pastel tones. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

The P.A. bought a new office chair, as her old one is supurr old, the gas lift no longer works, and it's literally on its last legs.

So this one arrived a couple of weeks ago, and after she built and put it in place, Melvyn decided that he really liked it, and now the P.A. is using her old chair again, as she can't wake him up when he's catnapping! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


Melvyn's getting festive wearing the Candy Canes bandana, so here's BBHQ's furry own supurr meowdel in action.

Melvyn, a white and tabby cat, sits elegantly on a round cushion near a window, modelling a festive red bandana adorned with peppermint candies, holly leaves, and swirling designs. A small yellow tag featuring a black cat illustration hangs from the bandana. The cushion has a white base with dark floral patterns, and the background reveals a cozy indoor room with furniture and a view of a brick wall outside. The image exudes seasonal charm and feline poise. The bottom reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"


Fudge was on the catwalk again this week and even tried to beat Melvyn by taking a detour around the kitchen island! MOL

  1. That bandana is purrfect for the holidays, Melvyn! Fudge, you be careful up there, okay? Good job watching that firewood getting fetched, Smooch, Pandora, Melvyn and Fudge. You have to make sure the humans do things correctly, right? Oh, and Melvyn, we think that is YOUR office chair; how nice of you to let the P.A. think it is hers. MOL

  2. Fudge has to get as close as he can to properly communicate with the mothership!

  3. Fudge, you remind me of my #2 Son. He likes being on roofs, too.

    I hope none of you got too warm or too cold this week, although it's hard to stay at a good temperature in winter.

    Melvyn, great job on the modeling!

  4. Melvyn did a good job of modelling the Christmas bandana. Melvyn looked very handsome too. It seems the PA has lost the use of her new chair.
