**VALENTINE'S 2026** Brain Training with Cats #97 with your Epic host ~ Professor Basil P.H.D. **PLUS** An Epic Throwback To July 2016

Professor Basil, a tabby and white cat wearing a black bowler hat with a red rose and a red bow tie, sits in front of a large black‑and‑white crossword puzzle background. He’s surrounded by red and pink heart‑shaped balloons and a bouquet of pink roses. A speech bubble beside him reads, “It’s time to give those little grey cells a wurkout!” The scene is styled like a playful, academic-themed poster for a brain‑training activity.

Happy Monday guys

Welcome to another furbulous Brain Training sesh on the blog today, and since it is Valentine's Day on Caturday, I've got a Valentinesy theme for mew.

And this week I'm sharing a throwback from July 2016, when the world was an epic place! MOL

The lighting highlights the texture of the cat’s fur, showing soft tabby markings on the head and ears and bright white fur on the face and neck. The background includes a textured carpet and part of a piece of furniture, creating a warm indoor setting. At www.bionicbasil.com

I was in a very contemplative mood that day.

Just look at that focus! MOL
