Welcome to

Happy Friyay Fab Pals

Welcome to our Friday Fluffers post where we showcase a selection of photo bloopers or photo fails from BBHQ, the photos that we thought would neffur see the light of day, buried deep, deep, deep in the archives on level 12 of our secret bunker, with no chance of effur being seen on the interwebs fur the wurld to see... UNTIL NOW!

Are mew ready fur some fun outtakes from The B Team? Of course, mew are!

And furst on the podium is 

Angel Posie's Fluffy Fail

 Date: August 2008

Posie wasn't the most lady-like of cats, she would always sleep like this! MOL

We feel a fig leaf is in order.

Next up is

Angel Humphrey's Santa Paws Fail

 Date: December 2009

Poor Humphrey, he just wasn't cut out to wear a Santa Paws jacket and he protested most vehemently by laying totally inert on the kitchen floor! MOL

And finally 

 Angel Snowie's Sneaky Fail

Date: November 2007

Snowie loved getting into boxes, and she would also sneak under things and then spy on mew. In this pic she'd managed to get herself under the papers in the box and didn't think anybody knew where she was! MOL

This week we're also joining in Friday Fill-ins with the fabulous 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.

1. A sight I would like to unsee is __________________________.

2. I plan to __________________________ before the summer is over.

3. I sometimes forget that _________ isn’t considered normal by most.

4. If my life were a book, the current chapter I’m in would be titled _________.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. A sight I would like to unsee is __________________________. There are too many to mention, but I will say any horror movie I've had the terrible misfortune to stumble upon while watching/flicking through the tv channels would fit into this category.

2. I plan to try and paint the vintage wine pump before the summer is over. It needs pressure washing, then sanding, undercoating and glossing. But if it doesn't get done, then it'll just go on the list again for next summer! LOL (It's been on the list for two years - sssshhhhhh!)

3. I sometimes forget that having more than a couple of cats isn’t considered normal by most. Now, I know some of you have way more cats than me, and I love that, as seriously I'd have oodles more if possible. Years ago, if anyone asked how many cats I had, and I replied six, they'd look at me like I was deranged. It's not so bad now, as cats pretty much rule the internet.

4. If my life were a book, the current chapter I’m in would be titled Apathy Reigns Supreme. I think that says it all, I am hoping this is just a mid-life phase, and I can get my zest back at some point.

Welcome To 8 Things About... And Today It's All About Angel Posie **Plus** TOP SECRET BONUS INTEL

WOO HOO pawesome furiends

So what's this 8 Things About??! we hear mew ask. Well, fabulous furiends it could be 8 things about anything, but today it's all about...

Posie departed for the Rainbow Bridge in April of 2015 but that doesn't mean she isn't still a part of The B Team, she left a great big paw-print on our hearts.

8 Things About Angel Posie

1. Posie arrived at BBHQ in the Spring of 2000.  The P.A. went to the rescue to see Posie, who was described as; not suitable for rehoming as she was a little aggressive. She'd been a Christmas kitten and obviously soon after the festive novelties wore off, poor Posie found herself homeless. She was found on an inner-city housing estate looking rather bedraggled and in a bit of a bad temper.

The P.A. remembered the first time she saw Posie, although she can't remember the name the rescue gave her. The P.A. said she looked really grubby and was rather feisty and vocal in her outdoor pen, there was no chance of any interaction at all. Who knows what had happened to her, but from her behaviour, it couldn't have been very nice. Anyhoo, long story short, the P.A. brought her home as she knew that this little cat didn't have a chance of getting a home.

2. Posie was never a lap cat, her early life experiences ruined that for her.  Although she slowly accepted the odd cuddle and she did like a bit of brush after many years of perseverance. In fact, Pandora is very similar to Posie in a lot of ways. Above, is how Posie loved to relax.

3. In this pic from 2008, above, OMC was Posie hissed off!  The old kitchen cabinets were being ripped out and redone, so the doors were all shut and she couldn't get to the lounge - she gripped and grumbled for days.

4. She also liked to go to next door to the P.A's Uncle's place. He had a fake Well in his garden (A lot of English peeps have fake Wells, don't ask us why, because we don't know!).  Anyhoo, Posie would sometimes get inside the little roof and hang out. 

5. Posie adored being in the garden and outside. And in the early days at BBHQ, the P.A. had some comfy chairs under the carport and that's where Posie, Snowie, Mildred and Humphrey would be waiting when she got home from work in the evening.

6. Posie loved the sofa, that was her main spot to snooze and she loved a fresh blanket. Often Snowie would be nesting in one of the cushions behind her on the back of the sofa. 

7. She also liked to play, and loved a bit of catnip.  She liked to remove the decorations off the bottom of the Christmas Tree too, apparently, that was good overnight sport! MOL 

8. Posie was such a pretty cat with the most amazing golden eyes. We miss her feisty, diva-esque ways, and we miss her cuteness because she was adorable, bad-tempered but totally adorable!  

TOP SECRET BONUS INTEL

 Posie was terrible to crate, so the one thing Dad and the P.A. don't miss is trips to the vet with the whirling dervish. The P.A. would wear thick leather gauntlets to wear while getting her into the crate or box. Over the years they tried all types of crates; front loaders, side loaders, top loaders. Wire ones so it wasn't so confining, also bags with mesh sides and top. Posie hated each and every one with a passion.

Also, the P.A. would take the gloves with her to the vet and wear them during the visit. Better that than scratched hands if Posie decided she didn't like that particular vet, on that day.

She also had lots of names: Flumpy, The Flumpster, Pose, Miss Grizzle, Grizzelda, Princess Powderpuff, just to name a few! MOL

Although Posie was a feisty diva, we're just glad that after a really rough start in life, she got a forever home on her terms. 

And that sadly brings us to the end of 8 Things About Angel Posie, we do hope mew enjoyed getting to know her a bit more and we'll be back on Wednesday so do join us then.
