 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

It has cooled down a lot at BBHQ over the last few days which has been nice, and we've been working on the new raised garden beds. Though it's still been too breezy to start the gloss on the telephone box, we're hoping for a non-breezy weekend! MOL

First up in the news this week

Pandora Tries Trampolining

The Midweek News Round Up©BionicBasil® Pandora Tries Trampolining

The P.A. has a small fitness room/gym at BBHQ and often Pandora will keep her company while she's working out, only yesterday she actually got on the mini trampoline and stopped the P.A. from going jogging! MOL

She said, "Jog on meowmy, this is mine now!"

We Tried The Cat Litter Box Odour Eliminator

A couple of weeks ago the epic peeps from Moodify Pet asked us if we'd like to try their Cat Litter Box Odour Eliminator* and of course we did, as who doesn't want a fresh smell in the litter box room?

The Midweek News Round Up©BionicBasil® Fudge Checks Out the Cat Litter Box Odour Eliminator

So anyhoo they furry kindly sent us a three-month supply, and here's Fudge checking it all out as I think when he saw the packets he was imagining that there were yummy cat treats inside! MOL

Check out our Instagram video to see what it looks like and where we hung it.

We really liked this odour eliminator pendant, it has a supurr fresh, lemony zest aroma. And it was just what we needed for the catservatory litterbox, as when it gets warmer during the summer months the litter box can start to hum somewhat, even with only one widdle in it, it can be quite offensive - mentioning no names Smooch - anyhoo this little pendant really does do what it says on the packet, we have no more nasty niffs in the catservatory, it's an absolute game changer for that space.

Each pendant lasts two weeks, and then mew just hang up a new one.

We give the Cat Litter Box Odour Eliminator 10 out of 10 paws! 

*FYI: Even though we were given this item/s free of charge for a review, our review is completely honest and reflects our own experience with the product/s

Finally this week

Melvyn Wears The Next Top Pick Bandana

Two weeks ago, Melvyn wore the yellow Funky Cat bandana, last week he wore the number two pick which was the Space design. So today he is modelling the Stars design.

Doesn't he look supurr cute?

Check out his latest video on TikTok. Or his reel on Instagram, when he's caught red-pawed using the chair arm as a scratch post - the P.A. wondered who's murder mittens had been assaulting the chair - now she knows! MOL

If mew have any questions for us, about anything, ask away, and we'll answer on next week's post.

Plus we'll also answer any questions left in the comments over the last few days in this section too.

Andreesaid on the Midweek news a couple of weeks ago:

It must take hours to make intricate banners like you do. 

It does take ages to make the banners, though a lot of the time we do a bit here and bit there rather than try to complete it all in one sitting. 

>^.^<

meowmeowmanssaid on the Midweek news last week: 

Smooch, YOU'RE also a phantom plant squasher? Who knew? 

Smooch has obviously been watching Parsley, and as there are two identical pots, they've probably been doing synchronised snoozing while nesting! And he does like to keep adding to his Phantom status! MOL

>^.^<

We have cooled down to normal summer temperatures now with a high of 20. Thunderstorms were forecast for the first three days this week but never materialised. Yesterday was heavy rain which caused a lot of flooding.

Oh wow, that flooding was like a raging torrent in places, we couldn't believe some of the video clips we saw.

 Luckily, we only got steady rain here for about 24 hours, and it didn't cause any issues thank cod!

>^.^<

Eastside Cats said on the Midweek news last week: 

Thank you for responding to my question: I have friends on the Isle of Wight, but didn't get a chance to visit them when I was in London a few years ago. Next trip to the UK will have to be 2-3 weeks long, so I can hit all of the places I want to, including Wales, Scotland, The Lake District, and every art museum in London...just to name a few. There are at least two railroad stations with attendant cats too; those are a MUST SEE.

And do try to visit the Crich Tram Museum, it's really epic. Mew can ride all the old trams and relive a bit of nostalgia. 

>^.^<

I'd love to see how your garden corner progresses! I am sure that soon it will be lovely! Hope your plants grow well.

We've been busy, the raised beds are built, they need a little bit of levelling on the uneven ground, and then planting can begin. We'll be sharing the update on our next gardening with cats rerun.

>^.^<

Pandora sure looks all scrunched up! Trying to do a pedicure??

MOL now we never thought of that scenario! 

>^.^<

We also asked from the Friday Fluffers post which one of these scenarios was the mood spoiler for Amber?


a. somepawdy didn't return a library book on time.

b. she's just received an email to say her latest consignment of books has been delayed by two days.

c. Parsley's found out she's hacked his crypto wallet, and she has been on a spending spree.

The answer was a. it was a late return! MOL


That's us done for today, we will be back on Friday with another batch of bloopers, and if mew missed Monday's post, click to catch up on our latest Cat Hazards post and get a free A4 printable of safe cut flowers.

Welcome to The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up Pandora's New Daybed, Smooch is Nesting and Melvyn Wears The Next Top Pick Bandana **PLUS** BBHQ Q&A

Midweek News Round Up with The B Team ©BionicBasil®

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

And finally, the second heatwave has passed, and it's a little cooler at BBHQ, although we still haven't had any rain. The Met Office has said there could be thunderstorms and bucket loads of rain, but so far none of these have appeared yet, although we are only on Chewsday, so there's still time. Just as long as the rain comes in a nice gentle pitter patter all will be well! MOL 

First up in the news this week

Pandora's New Daybed

Mew may remember that this was Amber's orange pom pom daybed from 2017. Anyhoo Amber decided she didn't want it anymore and gave it to Pandora, who promptly said, "I don't do orange!"

So the P.A. decided to make it pink, what do mew think?

The fabric she used was a single bedspread that cost £2.95 from a charity shop. It was brand new, so an utter bargain for that much fabric.

Check out her cute TikTok video here to see her taking it easy and relaxing!

Next up in the news

Smooch is Nesting

Mew may remember back in July when we revealed who The Phantom Plant Squasher was?

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch is Nesting

Well, it turns out that Parsley isn't the only one who likes to nest in the grass pots. Smooch has also taken to nesting in the last couple of weeks.

If mew saw Monday's Gardening with Cats post, and the area of the garden we're working on at the moment, once the new raised beds are finished, the two pots with the grass nests are being transplanted.

Don't worry, we've got lots of baby grasses growing to add to the pots again, so they won't be short of any cat nests, they'll just have more.

Finally this week

Melvyn Wears The Next Top Pick Bandana

Last week, Melvyn wore the yellow Funky Cat bandana, this week he's wearing the number two pick which was a tie between the Space and the Stars designs. So today he chose to model the Space design furst.

Doesn't he look epic, and that expression is his new 'Blue Steel' look and for those of mew who don't know what a Blue Steel look is, watch the movie Zoolander.

Check out his latest catwalk show on TikTok, he's comin' in hot! MOL

Also if mew're in the market for a new bandana, visit Eric's Empawrium and use our Ambassador discount code to get 15% off any purrchase: Bionic15

If mew have any questions for us, about anything, ask away, and we'll answer on next week's post.

Plus we'll also answer any questions left in the comments over the last few days in this section too.



Question: Have you visited the Isle of Wight?

No, it's one place the P.A. has always wanted to visit but hasn't got there yet! Going on holiday is impossible now nanny can't catsit anymore, and the B Team has never stayed in a cattery. The P.A. thinks it would probably traumatise them too much now.

>^.^<

Just be grateful that it was only mud that Smooch was rolling in. Eric had an obsession with sticky black pheasant poop!

Oh, nice NOT! 

The P.A. used to have a Jack Russell called Daisy who was quite partial to rolling in fox poop given the chance - EWWWWWWW  - so we feel your pain at the clean stage!


>^.^<


Your love of fabrics is like when I go to a craft show...that turns on my 'I want button'!

Oh definitely craft markets too, and crystal fairs and markets - these places are all Kryptonite and resistance is futile.

>^.^<

I didn't know you were so responsive to questions. Next time I have one, I WILL meow it.

Sadly we don't have the time at the moment to reply to all our blog comments like we used to, so we figured this was the next best way to interact with our epically epic furiends and readers.

That's us done for today, we will be back on Friday with some more fluffers, and if mew missed Monday's post click here to catch up on our latest Gardening with Cats and see how we made a cute fairy garden.
