The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Pandora's Weedy Lawn Selfie

 A bright, cheerful collage featuring four cats surrounded by colourful summer flowers including daisies, sunflowers, and lupines. The cats include an orange tabby, a black cat with a blue butterfly perched on its nose, a white cat with grey markings, and another white cat with darker markings. Above them hangs a decorative banner reading “Sunday Selfies ©BionicBasil®,” with bunting flags and string lights adding to the festive feel. Scattered around the scene are black‑and‑white Polaroid‑style snapshots of other cats, creating a playful, nostalgic atmosphere for BBHQ’s July Sunday Selfies.

Another pawesome selfie starring Pandora. BBHQ's brindle tortie floofball trying to ignore the weeds in the lawn!!! MOL!

Butterflies in various colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow atmosphere. The composition is bright, lush, and full of movement, evoking a warm July day in a flourishing garden.

Meowvellous greetings, pawesome furiends

Welcome to BBHQ on this furbulous Sunday!

Pandora was the purrfect selfie star today, as she sat on the lawn, and it was the easiest selfie she's ever taken. 

And if mew were here on Wednesday for the Midweek News, mew will already know about the 'weedy' lawn - yep, Fudge was complaining horribly!!! MOL

Pandora's Weedy Lawn Selfie


A long‑haired tortoiseshell cat named Pandora sits gracefully on a green lawn dotted with small yellow wildflowers and a few weeds frowing through the grass. Her dark, fluffy fur blends shades of black, brown, and auburn, and her bright green eyes gaze calmly toward the camera. The natural outdoor setting and soft lighting highlight her serene expression, creating a charming, candid “selfie” moment amid the grass and blooms.

One day the P.A. will get her bowling green lawn back... just not this year!!! MOL

Pandora doesn't actually care and gives zero fluffs about what it looks like; she just likes to pootle around and enjoy being outside.

That's all that's impawtant, and she's right!!!

If mew want to see how epic it looked, check this post out from 2017 and see just how purrfect it was, and now it's the totally fluffed lawn! 

Here's the story: the P.A. hated the lawn here and after 18 years, and nothing working to make it look nice. She decided that new turf was the way to go. So she had the old lawn ripped up, the nasty soil removed, and 20 tonnes of new topsoil put down before the new turf was laid.

Now Cat Dad was working abroad at the time, so the P.A. had a gardener come and mow because she's banned from using anything sharp and whizzy, i.e., a mower. (Don't ask, mew don't want to know!)

So the mower dude comes and mows the brand-new turf with a filthy, disease-ridden machine that had never been cleaned after being used in all the other infested gardens he mowed, and then the next thing, the brand-new bowling green lawn got infected... and well, here we are...

There have been many treatments, scarification, reseeding, lawn sand, aerations, seaweed, etc etc etc., and it still looks hideous.

This for the P.A is like mental cruelty; all she wants is the bowling green lawn. Is that too much to ask? Apparently it is!!! MOL

Butterflies in various colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow atmosphere. The composition is bright, lush, and full of movement, evoking a warm July day in a flourishing garden.

We're also joining Athena's Fabulous Art Hop, so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

We are loving this effect, Pandora's art should be in a museum!

And the lawn looks pretty incredible here!!! MOL

Artified with Impressionist Soft GFX+ - A long‑haired cat with dark fur and bright green eyes sits in a grassy field, surrounded by swirling, painterly strokes of vivid greens, blues, and yellows. Small yellow flowers dot the grass near her paws, while the sky above curls in expressive, Van‑Gogh‑like patterns. The stylised artwork captures Pandora posing on her slightly weedy lawn for the Caturday Art Blog Hop.

The effect was created with Befunky - AI enhancer, Impressionist Soft GFX+ with no other changes.

It's been another warm few days, and according to the latest weather forecast, it's allegedly going to remain around the mid-twenties and up... but not exceeding thirty degrees, so that's not bad. And there's been a nice, gentle, fur-ruffling breeze. So we're all delighted about that.

We'll be back in the morning with a super fun post, but it's a surprise for now, as we've decided Mondays are the new 'wildcard' day!!! MOL

 So do join us as mew know how much we love your visits to BBHQ, it really makes the start to our week epic! 

In the meantime, don't forget to...
Bold pink letters outlined in light blue spell out the phrase “STAY FLUFFY” in a playful, three‑dimensional style.
... and utterly furbulous!

    Parsley you look amazing. But what a nasty thing to have the mowing man ruin the new lawn. How can you play croquet on it now! We have a lovely cool front but it came with the smelly and harmful smoke from way up north. Maybe 2,000 miles it has traveled here.

      Croquet is definitely off the table for now!!! MOL 😹🌱
      We’re sorry mew’ve got that horrible smoke drifting so far south, it’s awful how far it can travel. We hope it clears quickly and mew get to enjoy the cool front without the stink.😽🐾

      The lawn saga has been truly epic… and not in a good way!!! MOL 😹🌱 The P.A. still dreams of her bowling‑green purrfection, but for now we’re embracing the ‘wild meadow chic’ look.
