The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Fudge's Spidery Basket Selfie

Four illustrated cats pose together in front of a bright field of yellow tulips. From left to right: Fudge, a ginger cat; Parsley, a black cat; Smooch, a white cat with black markings; and Melvyn, a brown, black, and white tabby. Around them are scattered black‑and‑white Polaroid‑style cat selfies, and above the group is a white sign with a paw print and the text “Sunday Selfies ©BionicBasil®.

Lazy‑day lounging at BBHQ; red‑blanket snuggles, wicker‑hamper shadows, and Fudge perfecting his smug ginger‑selfie aesthetic!


Pawesome Sunday greetings furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection. Today, the ginger maestro himself is here!

Fudge's Spidery Basket Selfie


A close‑up of an orange tabby cat with bright green eyes lying on a red blanket, wearing a collar with a small orange bells. Behind him sits a wicker log basket and part of a door, creating a cosy outdoor scene. Featured in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop at BionicBasil®, this is Fudge’s “spidery basket” selfie moment

Yep, the spidery blanket in the basket under the gazebo is still unwashed and still extremely spidery.

The P.A. keeps going to check if Sydney is still living his best life, and yes, he is. Utterly unbothered and fully committed to his outdoor zen space.

(Though in reality, she just peeks in, sees the long, hairy, spidery legs, shudders, tries not to scream, and walks ... sorry ... runs away at speed!)

And now it seems that Sydney and Fudge are having deep and meaningful conversations too, not just Smooch! 

Sydney is really making new furiends and expanding his tribe! MOL

Plus Fudge has banned Melvyn from the basket, as Melvyn has a 'taste' for spiders, yes, there's evidence, and several chalk outlines around BBHQ.

Of course, mew can! MOL

Anyhoo, it's time for us to go and do the usual Sunday vibe, lunch is on, and gardening is temporarily postponed due to blustery and rather inconvenient rain. That has also ruined all our pre-planned pawtrols! MOL 

 But so it goes ... though we did ask Humphrey if he could build a weather-manipulating machine, aka W.M.M., but he said they are already being deployed, so he heard, but don't quote him, and if he built us one, it could possibly make the weather even worse.

We're having a weather summit this week, and we may look at building a biosphere over BBHQ. We'll keep mew posted; planning permission will likely be an issue due to the conservation caveat on the village.

Anyhoo, we'll see mew bright and breezy in the morning when we're back with a supurr fun, Crafting with Cats post that has an Easter twist.

We do hope mew have an epic day, and remember to ...

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

Four illustrated cats pose together in front of a bright field of yellow tulips. From left to right: Fudge, a ginger cat; Parsley, a black cat; Smooch, a white cat with black markings; and Melvyn, a brown, black, and white tabby. Around them are scattered black‑and‑white Polaroid‑style cat selfies, and above the group is a white sign with a paw print and the text “Sunday Selfies ©BionicBasil®.

Early‑spring vibes on the BBHQ deck; green shoots, sleepy garden pots, and Pandora striking a purrfect selfie pose.

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection. This time, Pandora said it was her turn, and here is the little furry feline on the deck. It was a bit overcast the other day, but mew can see the pots in the background, yes, there is life, and hopefully, this next week or so, colour will burst forth. 

We're quite excited to see, as these were only planted in autumn/fall, so we have no idea how colourful they may be! #excitingtimes #worththewait 

Pandora's Deck Selfie


A long‑haired tortoiseshell cat sits on a wooden deck, looking back over her shoulder toward the camera. Behind her are terracotta plant pots with green foliage against a brick wall, creating a calm outdoor garden setting. This photo is titled “Pandora’s Deck Selfie” for the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop at BionicBasil.com, featuring Pandora from The B Team.

Smooch and Fudge were just out of shot, and she warned them, "Don't come any closer, mew'll ruin it!" MOL

Oh yes, she can be quite bossy at times, just like Amber. But for Cod's sake, don't tell Amber we said that, as all library privileges will be revoked faster than mew could say:

I'll have a niptini, shaken, not stirred, with a spring of catmint on the side!

Anyhoo, it's time for us to go and get outside, the garden is calling most strongly, well, we have to go and snoopervise the P.A. as she's 'doing things' that need our expert guidance before she cuts the catmint in the millwheel by the pond too much.

If this happens again this year, we're not sure if Fudge will keep it together! MOL

As always, Smooch is getting ready for lunch ... he keeps staring at the oven with wanton aggression whilst growling intermittently. The P.A. said he will have to wait until she's finished in the garden, and no, we can't repeat his reply! MOL 

Then we'll be commenting and hopping around everypawdy's blog catching up as we do every Sunday, because there aren't enough hours in the week at the moment.

We'll be back bright and breezy in the morning, and look forward to your company then with 'something', we're not sure what, so we'll just say SURPRISE! 

We do hope mew have an epic day, and remember to ...

Epic Sunday greetings, furiends

AS IT'S ST PATRICK'S DAY THIS WEEK, WE'RE GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT OF THINGS EARLY!

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection. This week, we decided to bip back to the wilds of County Kerry, Ireland, in the Time Travelling Telephone Box and visit the epic Uragh Stone Circle. 

The B Team's Uragh Stone Circle Selfie


A whimsical scene of the B Team cats gathered around a stone circle in a lush green landscape. One cat sits proudly atop the tallest stone decorated with shamrocks, while others perch or pose on the surrounding stones. A tabby cat in the foreground wears a green leprechaun hat and bow tie. A bright rainbow arcs across the sky, and a red British telephone box stands to the side, adding to the playful, fantastical atmosphere.

As mew can see, there was a little magic at play with the rainbow!

Mew know how much we love ancient standing stones and stone circles, see our previous trips to:

Greetings to all the history aficionados and travel enthusiasts out there!

This week we just had to visit the magical Uragh Stone Circle in County Kerry, Ireland, and it was an experience that left us paw-struck, not just about the ancient history and magnificent craftsmanship of the people who built it, but the magical energy which just purrmeated the area, it literally thrummed through our paws. Located in a remote part of the countryside, the circle is surrounded by verdant hills and lush greenery, making for a breathtaking view. The circle is much smaller than previous ones we've visited, and has a diameter of approximately 2.4 meters (8 feet) and consists of five standing stones that are arranged in a perfect circle. There's one enormous monolith, the one Fudge is purrched upon at the north-east /south-west axis. Each of the stones is of varying height and is local sandstone, which is known for its unique shape and colour. The Uragh Stone Circle was constructed between 3300 to 900 BCE, during the Bronze Age, and its purpose remains shrouded in mystery. Experts believe that it may have had religious or ceremonial significance for the people who built it. Some theories suggest it was used for astronomical observations, as the circle aligns with the winter solstice sunrise, while others believe it was a place of worship or a burial site. Walking around the circle, we immersed ourselves in the primal power of the ancestors who placed them here so long ago, using only simple tools and the ingenuity of the people who built them. Our visit to the Uragh Stone Circle was an unforgettable experience that transported us back in time to the ancient world of Ireland's magical past. It's a must-visit site for anypawdy interested in history, archaeology, or just seeking a serene and beautiful spot to reflect and appreciate the wonders of the world.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MEW PAWESOME MUMS AND MOMS CELEBRATING TODAY!

We're off to take a quick stroll around the garden and make a list of all the jobs that the P.A. and Cat Dad need to take care of in the big spring clean-up. It was sunny yesterday, so mew never know, things might get done outside today! MOL

Smooch is already waiting by the oven; he knows exactly when it needs to be switched on, so he can have his lunch at precisely 1pm! MOL 

See mew bright and breezy on the morrow with a St Paddy's Day Brain Training post. In the meantime, we hope mew have an epic day, and don't forget to...
