Epic Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

It's been a rather cool week a BBHQ, no rain but dropping temperatures, which, in all honesty, we're not too thrilled about, as our summer was a very hit and miss affair, which a few short weeks of hideous scorchio temperatures and the rest of the time a combination of a complete miserable washout and dull damp-squib days.

But, the weather aside, just look what we've got lined up for mew...

OH MY COD!!!!

Landing here on the 31st of October!!!

Yep, hold onto your hat, your furry pants or whatever mew can, as The Purrminator is HERE!

And jumpin' fluffing juniper berries, poor little Melvyn is on the run from that. How will he survive? Only Bast knows!

But rest assured, we can confirm it is epically epic, supurr exciting with all the things mew love about The B Team, which are really big guns, monstrous explosions, terror at every turn, suspense, malevolent evil dudes, never knowing what might happen next (even The P.A.  doesn't know any of this either right now, and she's fluffing writing it!!! MOL), but we can still guarantee that it's going to be one fluff of a ride as young Melvyn desperately tries to find his Great Uncle Basil aka me and sanctuary, while being pursued across time and space by The Purrminator. 

Fluff me, I'm exhausted after that paragraph, and I'd better go and tell The P.A., "Chop chop, we've got readers waiting... no dawdling, shilly-shallying, no not turning up to work, no time off, just get the story fluffing written, and we'll worry about the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors later!"   

I won't tell mew what the P.A.'s reply was. However, we bet mew can guess! MOL 

Leave your version in the comments, and we'll tell mew if mew're right on next week's post.

Have a look at our video on your preferred social media channel:




Well, after that unexpected announcement, we'd better get on with the news, so let's look at this week's top headlines.

First up in the news

 Smooch and Melvyn Are Not Happy That The P.A. Wants to Move The Desk


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch and Melvyn Are Not Happy That The P.A. Wants to Move The Desk

The radiator has been leaking; the P.A. only just found it, and she wanted to move the desk.

We were not up for that, at all, on any level. So Melvyn and Smooch staged a bit of a sit in and sit on, thus preventing said desk from being moved.

The P.A. has plans today to move the desk by any means necessary, so we're not sure how Smooch or Melvyn are going to deal with that! MOL

We'll keep mew apprised on this story as it unfolds.

Next up in the news

Amber and Fudge's Latest Book Meeting


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Amber and Fudge's Latest Book Meeting

Amber and Fudge have reached a bit of a stalemate. Mew see, Fudge went to the library and borrowed a new book called Cats'n'Guns by Sgt. Boomer Hackenfluff.  

Anyhoo, Fudge was only supposed to have it for a week. IT'S NOW BEEN TWO FLUFFING MONTHS, and he's still not returned it.

The late fees are piling up, and actually, Amber really likes this as it means more money for new books. But I digress; the problem is that Fudge has actually lost the book, and he daren't tell Amber as it was a signed, limited first edition copy. There are no more copies anywhere to buy to replace it - oh dear.

I had four words for Fudge.

HIDE IN THE BUNKER!

MOL! MOL! MOL!

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Black Cat Surpise was voted for last week, and here he is, looking supurr cute!

We did laugh when making the video, as Melvyn decided to have a little roll on the rug in the sitting room and purrfect his 'blue steel' look! If mew're really observant, mew will see he stuck his tongue out just before the clip rolled on! MOL

Check out Melvyn's videos on your preferred social media channel:

Today, we have a special prelaunch to share with mew!

From Worrying Sick for Her Own Cat to Vowing to Never Let Another Cat Go Through

the Same Experience as Her Django

For many of us, our cats are more than just pets—they’re family. That’s why it’s so

heartbreaking when they suffer in silence, hiding their pain like the secretive little furballs they

are. This is exactly what happened to Sonita, co-founder of Feniska, and her beloved cat

Django.

Django developed bladder stones, a painful condition that went undetected until it was

almost too late. Like many cats, he didn’t show any obvious signs until the condition had

become severe. Watching him suffer, Sonita felt helpless and heartbroken. It was a life-

changing moment that led her to vow: that no other cat parent should have to go through the

same experience.

Determined to find a way to monitor cats’ health more effectively, Sonita created the Feniska

Base. This smart device keeps track of your cat’s toilet visits and weight, warning early about

potential health issues. It’s designed to be a simple but powerful tool for cat parents who

want to stay one step ahead of any problems their cats might face.

Why the Feniska Base Is a Lifesaver

We all know how sneaky our little furballs can be. They can hide in the tiniest places, and

unfortunately, they’re just as good at hiding their health problems. That’s where the Feniska

Base comes in. If your kitty is making more trips to the litter box than usual or losing weight,

the Feniska Base will alert you via your smartphone. It’s like having a mini vet at home!

This tracker isn’t just about convenience; it’s about peace of mind. Protecting our babies and

saving expensive vet treatment costs. For Sonita, it means that Django’s suffering wasn’t in

vain. It means she’s helping other cat parents avoid the same heartache she felt. And for all

the cat parents out there, it’s a way to keep your fur babies healthy—because we know they

deserve nothing less!

We’re thrilled to launch the Feniska Base on Kickstarter this November! Be the first to receive

an exclusive discount, plus additional savings for reserving the Feniska Base early. It’s our

way of saying thank you for helping us keep more cats safe and sound. Whether you’re a cat

mom, dad, or admirer of our furry friends, we’d love for you to join our campaign. Let’s join

paws to make sure no cat has to suffer in silence. Together, we can create a world where

every purr and every playful leap is a sign of a happy, healthy kitty.

Epic Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday and the good news is it's been lovely and dry for the last few days, so that made a nice change. Although there's a storm brewing in the Atlantic right now and headed towards Europe, it's called Kirk, and Kirk might decide to hit the UK in the next couple of days if it hasn't already. 

We're using mind control to try and fluff Kirk off and dissipate it so it's nothing more than a gentle breeze, but mew guys know, we're only cats, so we can only do so much.

Oh, and just look at the sky at BBHQ on Sunday morning around 6.40am, such pretty colours!

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Sunday Morning Sky at 6.41 am at BBHQ

It was stunning.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Fudge Dared Melvyn To..., Smooch's Staying Out of The Way, and Melvyn's Modelling This Weeks Top Pick Bandana **PLUS** AMBER'S DOING BIZARRE THINGS!!!

The B Team's Midweek News Banner ©BionicBasil® October  23

Epic Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Welcome to October, and oh my Cod, the weather has been awful. We've been on flood watch for the last five days, and it's been exhausting. Hopefully, in the next twenty-four, this weather front will fluff right off for good.

And we are sending oodles of prayers after that heinous hurricane barrelled through parts of eastern America. Seriously, we're convinced that there's some complete moronic flufftard in a facility messing with the weather, citing it as climate change, so the powers that be can charge us all more taxes. But let's not talk about that.

On another note, Amber has been up to some bizarre things... 

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Amber's Doing Bizarre Thigs

Some of mew will get this if mew've read the book, and for those who don't know what this is all about, Amber is sharing the story on Friday, so stay tuned! MOL

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.

First up in the news

Fudge Dared Melvyn To...

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Fudge Dared Melvyn To...

Fudge is a total fluff stirrer. He dared Melvyn to go and ask Amber for some time off this week from the library! Yeah, we know mew can't believe it either...

Anyhoo, she wasn't in her usual snooze spot in the catservatory. She was actually reclining in the sitting room, and upon hearing the commotion coming from the catservatory, she crept into the kitchen and hid.

This is what she heard.

Fudge: "Go on Melvyn, I dare mew to ask Amber for Thursday off." (snigger, snigger, snigger).

Melvyn: "Are mew sure? Mew remember what happened when I asked for a pay rise a couple of weeks ago?"

Fudge: "Oh yeah, ignore that!" (cough, muffled laugh, cough!) "Parsley told me Amber's in a great mood this week, and mew're sure to get a day off!" (snigger, snigger, snigger).

Melvyn: "Oh, that's odd because Parsley told me to avoid her if pawsible because she's preparing her first book review for Friday."

Fudge: "Nah, dude, Parsley got all wrapped around his claws!" (cough, muffled laugh, cough!) "She's in the best mood ever, so mew're sure to get what mew want!"

Melvyn: "Fudge, I'm not sure... but ok, I'll try."

Meanwhile, out of view in the kitchen, this was Amber's response!

Yep, we all knew how that was going to go for Melvyn, didn't we???? MOL

In fact, she still laughing about it somewhere in the stacks.

Next up in the news

Smooch's Staying Out of The Way

Smooch was determined not to get involved in anypawdy's drama this week, and in a brief reprieve from the onslaught of rain and wind, he posed for this supurr cute selfie! 

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Are mew ready to see this week's beautiful bandana? Well, we can't hold off any longer, so here it is all up close and purrsonal!!!

Isn't it epic?

And here's BBHQ's furry own supurr meowdel, Melvyn, doing what he does best!

Luckily, the catwalk was deserted today, except for a cheeky fly who appeared, and Melvyn did his best to bat it it away! MOL

The rest of The B Team were snoozing rather deeply, as it was blowing a gale outside and the rain was pelting down.

Check out Melvyn's videos on your preferred social media platform:
