The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **More Spring Flowers & Blue Skies** ~ Fudge's Rooftop Mission, Parsley's Garden Pawtrol, and Smooch Got The New Rug First ~ **PLUS** Melvyn's Modelling

**Alt Text:** A colourful collage shows ten cats lined up in a row, each with different fur patterns and expressions. Behind them is a decorative backdrop of pink cherry blossoms, pastel bunting, and newspaper‑style graphics. Bold text in the centre reads “Midweek News Round Up with The B Team @BionicBasil.” In the top right, a cat with its mouth open appears to shout, with a speech bubble saying “EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!” The bottom edge is framed with pink and white flowers.

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

As mew can see, we've moved on from the St Paddy's Day festivities of recent days, so don't expect any leprechauns, rainbows or pots of gold to unexpectedly appear, although given the nature of things at BBHQ, all of the aforementioned could actually pop up anytime! MOL

Right, let's begin with the weather. Last week's news mentioned that it had remained dry with a few light drizzles. This week, no drizzles whatsoever, in fact, it has been intermittently sunny with dark clouds threatening rain, but it never reached BBHQ. Well, if it did, it was overnight, and we missed it.

And the most shocking thing so far this year - we've had blue skies in the last few days more than once.

Now for this week's **SPRING** update.

A vibrant spring garden filled with colourful flowers, moss‑covered rocks, and bright green foliage. A birdbath with two small bird figurines sits to the right, reflecting the surrounding blooms. Shiny garden spheres are nestled among the plants, and bare branches in the foreground hint at early spring growth.

It's so lovely to finally see a little splash of colour in the garden ... and yes, we know there are lots of dead leaves in the flower bed. There's a reason for this: while the main bulk of the fallen leaves are composted in the autumn, the P.A. makes sure that all the flower borders have a nice thick layer over them, so it not only protects the bulbs and plant roots from frost, it also acts as a habitat for insects and other creepy crawlies in the garden.

She will probably put fresh compost on top in the warmer months, once the inhabitants have woken up and come out of hibernation. Plus, it acts as a lovely weed barrier too. Much cheaper than the bark, which the birds fling everywhere.

Yep, the birds at BBHQ are that rude, no due care or attention, or fluffs are given when they are in the midst of bark flinging! MOL 

Are mew ready for this week's news?

First up in the news this week...

Fudge's Rooftop Mission


FUDGE - An orange tabby cat walks carefully along the edge of a tiled roof, looking down as if planning its next move. The reddish‑brown tiles have small patches of pale lichen nestled between them, creating a dramatic backdrop for the cat’s rooftop adventure.

Fudge was back on the roof, for a change. He said he needed to spy on Smooch because Smooch keeps showing up with black, dusty paws.

Fudge's sneaky report details that Smooch does, in fact, go into the coal pile, for what, remains to be determined.

Also, Smooch hates getting his mittens washed after this excustions! MOL  #OHDEAR

Next up in the news...

 Parsley's Garden Pawtrol


A black cat wearing a collar sits on a stone garden path surrounded by purple flowers, green foliage, and a large ceramic pot with a solar light. Trimmed bushes and tall trees frame the sunny garden scene as the cat looks off to the side, appearing to survey the area on “pawtrol.”

Parsley was enjoying the sunshine on his pawtrol around the garden. He found a nice sheltered spot where the cool breeze didn't ruffle his fur.

He said, and I quote, "It was epic until a large cloud came along and ruined all the warms!"

Smooch Got The New Rug First

The P.A. got a new rug the other day, and rolled it out in the catservatory temporarily while it fully unfurls and becomes less of a trip hazard.

It hadn't been there for two minutes, and this happened.

Yep, Smooch is now the proud owner of a brand new porch rug ... MOL

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Last week, mew obviously all voted for The St. Paddy's Day bandana, so here's the little dude sharing all the luck of the Irish! MOL

A white‑and‑tabby cat stands on a glossy black granite surface wearing a black bandana patterned with green shamrocks. A modern kitchen with cream cabinets and a large stainless fridge appears in the background, along with a white orchid. The cat looks alert and slightly to the left, framed with a clean white border.

Doesn't he look epic?

Oh, and W.D.G. still hasn't arrived back at BBHQ; he's decided to extend his vacation a little longer!

As Melvyn's modelled this bandana before, mew can watch his previous catwalk strut on your preferred social media channel:




A curved string of pastel pennant flags hangs in gentle arcs, with triangles in soft blue, pink, yellow, and green. At each peak of the curve sits a white flower with a yellow center, giving the decoration a cheerful, festive look suitable for celebrations or spring‑themed designs.

Which one should he model next?


Here's the March Bandana Selection, and as we're headed full steam into Spring, we chose some colourful and bright bandanas for this month. Plus, it's St Paddy's Day, too, and how could we not have one for that epic day! MOL

Four colourful triangular cat bandanas are arranged in a neat grid on a textured background, each labelled 1 to 4 as part of the March 2026 Collection. Bandana 1 has a purple base with bright floral and butterfly patterns. Bandana 2 features a green background with whimsical spring illustrations including a girl, birds, flowers, and a dog in a basket. Bandana 3 shows a cream background covered in multicoloured owls with pink and blue rickrack trim. Bandana 4 has a black background decorated with vibrant green shamrocks for a St Patrick’s Day theme. The overall look is cheerful and seasonal, showcasing the variety of designs available for the BBHQ cats.

The March Collection:

1. Spring Vibes

2. Pretty Garden

3.  Colourful Owls

4. St Paddy's Day

One more to go! MOL

What The Fluff ~ BBHQ Q&A Episode 2

Hoping mew have a furbulous day, and remember to always...

The phrase “STAY FLUFFY” appears in large, bold letters coloured soft yellow with a pink drop‑shadow effect. The playful, rounded typography gives the message a cheerful, light‑hearted feel against a plain background.
... and utterly furbulous

    Hooray for spring, mew guys! How nice to see some color in your garden. We loved seeing Fudge and Parsley on patrol, and good job getting the mat first, Smooch! Melvyn, we guess it will be Pretty Garden next week, right? XO

    Good job claiming the rug, Smooch, but remember you need clean paws or you will ruin it. What in the world are you going in the coal bin for?

    The spring flowers are a delight and I hope you get sun and rain in just the right proportions to keep you in pretty colors until winter rolls around again.

    Melvyn, great modeling!
