The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Supurr Smooch's Throwback Selfie ~ Way Back to 2017

 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.

An epic throwback selfie starring BBHQ's tripawed Supurr Hero, Smooch!

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!

We're so glad mew're here, seriously, as Smooch found this photo of himself from way, way, way back in 2017, and couldn't wait to share it with mew!!! MOL

Supurr Smooch's Throwback Selfie  


Smooch, a white cat with bold black markings and a proud tripawed stance, sits upright on a neatly cut green lawn. He wears a shiny teal‑and‑purple superhero cape that drapes over his back and catches the light. Behind him, autumn leaves scatter around a brick‑edged garden bed filled with plants, creating a colourful outdoor backdrop. Smooch looks calm and confident, giving this throwback selfie a playful, heroic vibe for the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop at BBHQ.

Oh, this photo does tickle us tremendously... if mew want to see the original Crafting with Cats post where we made the cape, click here.

As mentioned in the Midweek News, we did have torrential rain; the courtyard was completely flooded, luckily it drained away pretty quickly.

At the P.A.'s and Cat Dad's work: Cat Dad got two big trash pumps out because he thought with the black clouds roiling and the storm forecast they were going to be toast, soggy toast, 4ft underwater toast, and he was prepared for the worst... but the Rain Gods spared them... Thank fluff for that.

Thank mew Rain Gods for showing mercy! 

Anyhoo, we'll be back in the morning as it's 

PARSLEY'S 14TH BIRTHDAY PAWTY

And we know mew won't want to miss that, as OH MY COD, mew'll never believe what's happening!!! MOL

Here's a quick teaser: it's big, it's black and hopefully Parsley-proof!!!

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!
