Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Well, can mew believe we're a week away from the main event? The Catmas Trees still aren't decorated, they're up - mew will see in Melvyn's videos further down the post - but the Catmas Tree skirts the P.A. had, we're not cutting the mustard this year, so she ordered two new ones, and they only arrived on Monday evening. 

Hopefully by the time mew read this on Wednesday they will be decorated, well that's the plan. But in the meantime, here's a picture of a previous Catmas Tree from 2016.

It was so pretty, and I Basil, took great delight in climbing it, but that's another story! MOL

Let's look at this week's top stories...

 Smooch and Parsley Enjoying An Amble In The Courtyard


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch and Parsley Enjoying An Amble In The Courtyard

Smooch and Parsley we're bipping about the courtyard checking out what's been happening, as the other night a little tuxedo kitty was in the garden eating some of the crunchies that the P.A. leaves out to feed any passers-by who happen in the garden at BBHQ.

The little cat didn't have a collar on, so we are wondering if he or she has been dumped because all of the village cats wear collars except for one black one called Morty.

Anyhoo, we'll keep mew posted and the P.A. will keep leaving the food out, just in case.

If it is a stray or a dumpee, don't worry; we'll take care of the situation and make sure the kitty is well looked after.

EXTRA EXTRA!!!

Melvyn's Lord of The Pets Pawtrait

A few weeks ago, the pawesome peeps from Lord of The Pets contacted us, asking if we'd like a pawtrait in exchange for a review**. Well, how could we refuse an offer like that! 

The problem we had (not a problem really, see below! MOL) was which B Team memfur was getting his or her furry chops on said pawtrait, and then problem number two, which furbulous pawtrait theme to choose. As let me tell mew, they have the BEST selection ever, seriously EVER

Overcoming problem number one 

We put everypawdy's name in a hat, and Cat Dad picked the name, and Melvyn won! MOL

Overcoming problem number two, which theme to pick?

The themes available are, for want of a better phrase, just fluffing brilliant, and we had such a hard time choosing, but then BBHQ's resident Supurr Meowdel stepped up, he said, and I quote.

"Dude, I want a Game of Thrones vibe happening!"

Well, mew can't argue with that, so this is what we chose:


Just look at that EPICALLY EPICNESS!!!!

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Melvyn's Lord of The Pets Pawtrait

WOW!!!

It is AMEOWZING in real life. A top quality canvas, the printing is rich and has a real depth to it, and we think Melvyn is the purrfect GoT cat.

When we first unboxed it, Melvyn was right there, up close and purrsonal inspecting every detail, and he couldn't believe how pawesome it was! 

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Melvyn Checking Out His  Lord of The Pets Pawtrait

All we need now is a supurr frame for it, which the P.A. will source after Catmas and then put it up on the wall.

So if mew are looking for a pet pawtrait, go check Lord of The Pets, they ship to most places around the world, and we can tell mew this, it arrived so quickly, we didn't think we'd get it before Catmas and BOOM, it was here within a few days. So shipping is supurr speedy, the products are fantastically furbulous, and they sell other custom print items too, so if mew looking for a quirky custom gift, take a look at their Custom Pet Gift page.

Melvyn's pawtrait makes us smile so much; it's just a joy-inducing marvel for the eyes. The P.A. chuckles to herself every time she sees it, yep, it's that good. We're well tickled! MOL

We'd like to say very many thanks to the pawesome peeps at Lord of the Pets for bringing such joy to BBHQ this Catmas season, mew guys are epic!

**Disclosure ~ Even though we were given this item free of charge for a review, our review is completely honest and reflects our own experience with the product.

Parsley's Festive Cheer Selfie on The Sunday Selfies Blog Hop and Caturday Art Blog Hop

The Sunday Selfies Banner ©BionicBasil® Frost Garden Winter 24 (1)

Supurr Festive Sunday greetings epic furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection, and as Catmas is fast approaching, Parsley went out in the wilds to find the purrfect snow scene before he went and spread a little festive cheer on his way back to BBHQ! What a dude! 

Parsley's Festive Cheer Selfie

He's got such a kind nature and is always thinking of those less fortunate than himself. He loves nothing more than helping others; he is such a little sweetie.

However, he did have a bit of trouble wrapping some of the gifts because the sticky tape kept getting stuck to his fur! OH DEAR! MOL

Anyhoo it's time for us to go and snoopervise the tree decorating, as that is on today's programme. Smooch, as always, is in the kitchen snoopervising lunch, and hopefully, this afternoon, BBHQ will look as festive as Parsley! MOL

We'll see mew in the morning when we're sharing another furbulous Catmas Crafting with Cats, and if mew missed last week's post, click here to catch on how we made the Santa Paws Sled, in fact, similar to the one Parsely has today.

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

**THE BBHQ MIDWEEK NEWS ROUND-UP** Blanket Wars on The Windowsill, Smooch Enjoying a Sheltered Sunspot, Pandora's Plotting Retribution, and Melvyn's Modelling This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

The Midweek News Round Up Banner ©BionicBasil® Frost Garden Winter 24

Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Well, we had a rather blustery, gusty weekend and then a brief sunspot on Monday, with an overcast dull Tuesday. But at least it's not raining!

We have plans to put up a Catmas Tree this week, although the P.A. is so stretched for time right now, but as we said, it's ok we can help. Which she promptly declined. For the life us we can't imagine why she wouldn't want expert help from us when all those lovely, shiny, twinkly things are about! MOL

She said, and I quote, "Dudes, you have your own tree!"

See the evidence below.

Ah, indeed we do, and if mew'd like to see how the P.A. made it, we'll be sharing it on Monday. 

In the meantime, this tree will be getting a lot of attention, as demonstrated by Fudge the Heathen! MOL

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's news.

First up in the news

 Blanket Wars on The Windowsill


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Blanket Wars on The Windowsill

This is Parsley's afternoon catnapping spot, and there he was, just enjoying a lovely snooze when Fudge appeared and crammed his floof between Parsley and the plant.

As mew can see, Parsley was not giving up any ground at all, even though it completely ruined his zen vibes! 

This is so typical of Fudge! MOL

Smooch Enjoying a Sheltered Sunspot


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch Enjoying a Sheltered Sunspot

We had a couple hours of weak sunshine on Monday, and Smooch got in the courtyard and found this sheltered sunspot, which he took full advantage of, as Vitamin D is supurr furry impawtant! MOL

Pandora's Plotting Retribution

If mew read last week's news, mew'll know that Pandora was NOT a happy camper. 

If mew missed it, click here to catch up.

Anyhoo, she is plotting retribution. 

However, she told me exclusively that she's going to wait a while, as it will be all the more fun and satisfying when those involved least expect it! OH DEAR!!! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


Last week mew voted for the gorgeous Catmas Cats bandana, and here's the main dude, doing his thing! MOL
