The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Smooch's Red Peril 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 Smooch BBHQ's tripawed supurr star in his vintage racing car!

A vibrant summer garden scene filled with colourful wildflowers in shades of yellow, pink, purple, blue, and red. 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 delightful Sunday!

Smooch is back again, as he really wanted to share this from Melvyn's Motor Muster last weekend!

Smooch's Red Peril Selfie 


Smooch, a white cat wearing goggles, a leather jacket, and a red scarf sits confidently in a vintage red sports car marked with the number 7 and the licence plate “RED‑PERIL.” Beside the car stands another cat in blue overalls and a cap outside a rustic tyre shop, with stacked tyres and flower pots completing the cosy village scene. The playful, character‑filled moment captures Smooch posing with the Red Peril for the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop at BBHQ.

This is his pride and joy. Nopawdy, and I mean nopawdy, is ever allowed to drive it EVER!!! 

So I won't mention the time I went for a spin in it and did burn-outs!!! MOL

We adore this effect!

We're still in the midst of a scorchio heat blast. Later next week, hopefully it'll start to cool down, so today we're just hanging out in the house with the fans on and the aircon running. Later, when it's about 8 pm, we'll go outside for a little pawtrol to see what's happening in the BBHQ garden! MOL

We'll be back in the morning with a supurr fun post, but it's a surprise for now, but do join us as mew know how much we love your visits to BBHQ, it really makes our day! 

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!

      Woot indeed!!! MOL Thank mew so much. I do try to look my most handsome when I’m behind the wheel of the Red Peril 😺❤️🏎️

      She’s my pride and joy… polished to purrfection, tuned like a dream, and always ready for a dramatic entrance. Fresh ride, fresh floof, fresh cattitude.

      Thanks for stopping by, mew’re furbulous! 😻🐾✨

      Oh Mimi, thank mew so much. I’m delighted mew liked my selfie… I do try to look extra dashing when I’m in the Red Peril 😺❤️🏎️

      As for giving rides… well… Yes indeedy, I love driving my furiends around for a gentle cruise. But only if they promise not to touch any buttons, levers, switches, knobs or the steering wheel. Or breathe too close to the paintwork!!! MOL MOL 😹😻🐾

      Oh Lynn and Precious, thank mew so much. Don’t worry, I’m very careful in the Red Peril 😺❤️🏎️

      I only go fast enough to feel the wind in my whiskers… and maybe make the gravel rattle a tiny bit… but never fast enough for a speeding ticket. The local constabulary know me, and they know the Red Peril. If they ever saw me zooming, they’d just shake their heads and say, “Not Smooch again!!!” MOL 😹

      And the art… well, mew know how much we adore a good arty‑farty transformation. The Impressionist Soft GFX+ effect really made the Red Peril look like she belongs in a fancy gallery instead of outside the tyre shop!!! MOL 😹🎨

      Mew absolutely cracked me up with that one 😹 Big Fluff does not mess around, especially when he’s suited up, scarfed up, and revving the Red Peril. He likes everypawdy to know he means business… even if that business is mostly posing dramatically and looking outrageously handsome 😺🏎️✨

      Have fun with the puzzle… and good luck. 😻🐾

      I am deeply impurressed by your impurressed‑ness. Truly. A compliment from mew is like premium fuel for the Red Peril 😹🏎️✨ a passenger seat cruise for a glamorous ladycat? I think we can arrange that 😎💖

    We absolutely love Smooch's roadster. It has our mom's lucky number: 7. The art is absolutely meowvolous as well. We just need you to explain Gribbers and Puddling. Mom searched asking for the meaning in the UK but was unsuccessful in finding anything. Thanks for hopping with us! Have a wonderful week and try to stay cool.

      Oh Kitties Blue, thank mew so much, mew always make my whiskers twitch with happiness when mew visit! I’m thrilled mew love my roadster. The Red Peril is very proud of her number 7… clearly she knew it was a lucky one 😺🏎️✨

      And thank mew for the lovely words about the art, the Red Peril thinks she should be in a museum now!!! MOL.

      As for Gribbers Puddling - here’s the scoop straight from BBHQ:
      It’s another village near Mewton‑Clawson. One of those quaint little places with odd names, lots of charm, and a pub that serves suspiciously strong catnip cider. We love sprinkling our local “map” into posts!!! MOL 😹

      And mew have excellent taste… red is the most dynamic, dramatic, utterly purrsonality‑packed colour for a motorcar. The Red Peril agrees completely, she says it makes her look fast even when she’s parked!!! MOL 😹🏎️✨
