**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!

Happy April Fools Day ~ Did mew prank anypawdy today? 

We didn't because that kind of behaviour happens all the time at BBHQ, so we thought we'd take the day off! MOL

Oh good gravy, the weather, let's talk about that for a moment, it's been windy, blustery, gusty and cold. Mew know the really funny thing, that after it's been a supurr blustery day right up until bedtime and later, blowing wildly and being totally obnoxious, guess what?

In the middle of the night, it's calmer than a mill pond, every night, not a puff of a breeze or whisper of air, just completely still. How's that work? It's not a recent thing either.

Anyhoo, it's a full moon tonight, so here's Monday night's offering, not great, but better than nothing.

A nighttime garden scene featuring a small white shed outlined with warm string lights, framed by bare branches and a metal archway. A bright almost full moon glows in the deep blue sky above, casting soft light across the quiet BBHQ garden.

We'll take some proper pics tonight, for next week.

Good news, the hedgehogs are visiting, three so far, so we'll keep mew posted on that.

The tulips are bursting forth in a riot of colour, which pleases us tremendously as we are so over the winter.

A black circular planter filled with bright red tulips and lush green foliage sits on a gravel surface outside a building. The tulips are in full bloom, their vivid red petals contrasting with the greenery and the reflective window behind them

Look at that red, isn't it glorious? Here's hoping that more will burst forth for next week.

Anyhoo, let's look at what's been happening at BBHQ.

A bright spring border made of lush green grass topped with alternating pink and white tulips, accented by small yellow flowers. Taller blades of grass rise behind the blooms, creating a fresh, cheerful, garden‑themed decorative frame.

First up in the news this week...

Smooch Says Mew Missed A Bit

White cat with black markings stands on a wooden deck, mid‑meow, looking up as if calling for attention. A white bench and a metal planter with greenery sit behind him, creating a cosy outdoor BBHQ scene.

Smooch was on the rear deck by the pond, complaining that somepawdy had missed a spot of green algae under the bench. Yep, he threatened that whoever it was needed to get back out there and finish the job properly.

We can't share the P.A.s response, as we're nice cats, and what she said fell well outside those parameters! MOL

Next up in the news...

Fudge's Favourite Grass Spot


Fudge, a fluffy ginger cat, walks through long green grass in the BBHQ garden, partially hidden by plants. A large weathered terracotta pot and dense evergreen branches create a rustic, leafy backdrop, with a small black garden light nearby.

On a little pawtrol Fudge went to his favourite clump of grass and had his fill. Then he furry kindly left a furball on the doormat by the patio doors.

He is so thoughtful, don't mew think?

Parsley's Outdoor Snuggle Spot


Parsley, a sleek black cat wearing a green collar, lounges in a patch of sunlight on a wooden threshold. He’s stretched out on an orange‑and‑red patterned mat, with soft indoor carpet behind him, enjoying his favourite cosy outdoor snuggle spot.

We did get a bit of sunshine yesterday, so while the P.A. was in the craft room, Parsley enjoyed a supurr snuggle spot in the doorway.

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


And now, fashion fans, it’s time for Melvyn’s moment…

He got a head start with the Cute Pink Cats bandana.

Melvyn, a white, black and brown tabby cat, stands on a dark kitchen countertop wearing a colourful bandana decorated with pink cats, flowers, and leaves on a black background. Soft daylight from a nearby window brightens the kitchen, with pale cabinets and small appliances in the background.

Apologies, the photo is a little blurry, Melvyn was supurr effervescent yesterday and couldn't keep still! MOL

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 April Bandana collection.

 As spring is now officially here, we chose some more colourful and bright bandanas for this month. 

Five colourful triangular bandanas are arranged on a light wooden surface, each with a different vibrant pattern. Designs include hot‑air balloons and animals, stylised floral motifs, large pink flowers on teal, playful pink cats on black, and a yellow‑and‑pink floral print. Text reads “The April Bandana Collection at BBHQ.

What The Fluff ~ BBHQ Q&A Episode 2

Crafting with Cats

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
