The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Supurr Sauce's Sunday Stroll

A digitally illustrated poster featuring four cats sitting in front of pink cherry blossoms and colourful bunting. The cats include an orange tabby, a black cat with green eyes and a green collar, a white cat with black markings, and a white cat with a pink nose and red collar. Above them is a banner reading “Sunday Selfies ©BionicBasil®,” decorated with a paw print and small black‑and‑white Polaroid‑style cat photos. A floral border of yellow and pink flowers frames the bottom of the image.

A vibrant Sunday Selfie scene set in a spring garden, with Parsley, aka Mr Sauce, walking through the lush foliage.

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection. Today, epic house panther, Parsley, is here.

Supurr Sauce's Sunday Stroll 


Parsley aka Mr Sauce - a black cat walks beside a stone miil wheel in a lush spring garden, partially lit by sunlight. The cat is surrounded by vibrant green foliage, long leaves, and budding flowers, with small purple blossoms visible in the background. The scene feels peaceful and natural, highlighting the contrast between the cat’s dark fur and the bright greenery. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

Parsley, aka Mr Sauce, was enjoying a little spring break in the garden the other day. 

Mew can see the tulips in the background, still not quite ready to burst, and mew see that plant by the tip of his right ear, that's valerian, oh yes indeedy!! MOL

We're off in the garden for a quick patrol in between the showers. Hopefully, they'll dry up later, and we can have a proper galavant around the garden! MOL

Smooch is already lurking in the kitchen, he's waiting for the P.A. to turn the oven on, so he can start growling and complaining that everything is taking too long, mew can set your watch by him! 

We do hope mew have an epic day, and we look forward to your company in the morning when we're back with ... we have three posts, but we're not sure which one yet, so surprise for the morning! 

In the meantime...
Bold yellow text with a pink shadow reads “STAY FLUFFY” in a playful, uplifting style.
... and utterly furbulous!

Mancat Monday at BBHQ ~ Starring Parsley aka Mr Sauce **AND DID MEW KNOW THIS? HE'S GOT A REALLY BIG SECRET TOO!!!**

 Mancat Monday at BBHQ with The B Team ©BionicBasil ®

Happy Monday Supurr Floofy Furiends

It's Mancat Monday, and mew know what that means... it's a mancat zone! MOL  

Today, Parsley is here sharing all his rugged manlycatness, as we don't think he's featured on MCM for years either, like Melvyn last week

Isn't he a magnificent, handsome panfur! 


BBHQ'S HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE HOLDER

His hobbies include a bit of rock climbing!

Birdwatching and nature is another favourite pastime.

And he's also dabbled in the highly lucrative trade of catnip selling, although this particular batch nearly tipped him over the edge, or off the table! MOL


Did Mew Know This About Parsley?

Parsley is a gentle giant; he has such a kind nature, and he's the resident heavyweight at BBHQ, weighing in at approximately 6.7kg - 14.77lbs. And this year, when he went for his annual check-up and boosters, the vet had the nerve to say he was a bit heavy. Cat Dad soon put that straight and said to the vet. "Dude, he's on a bulking phase!" MOL

In 2014 when he first arrived at BBHQ, he was called Parsons as he had a faint ring of white fur around his neck like a priest's collar, so that's what they named him at the rescue.

The P.A. wanted to call him Magic, Merlin or some other really unimaginative magical black cat name but after trying out all the usual names and he responded to none, she realised that he wasn't going to be easy to name. Then one day she was looking through a gardening book and saw the word parsley and had an 'ah-ha!' moment, and that's how Parsley got his new name, and slowly that evolved into Parsley Sauce and then we found that he really loves the name Sauce, so most of the time we call him Sauce, or Mr Sauce.

And on different days of the week, he likes to be different sauces, such as mint, BBHQ, chocolate, steak, peri peri, seafood, black sauce aka HP, caramel, etc... it changes with his mood! But don't ever call him Mayonaise; yep, that one is a huge NO-NO! MOL #truestory 

And we bet mew're wondering what the really big secret is?

Well, he's a biscuit-making machine. Seriously, he's a one-cat biscuit factory! MOL

Check him out on TikTok

Just look at him go, and he makes the best biscuits ever. In fact, he's a bit of a biscuit aficionado or a biscuit connoisseur.


Thank mew for joining us today, and we'll leave mew to bask in the magnificence of all Parsley's manlycatness and look forward to your company on Wednesday when we're back with The Midweek News Round-up; until then...

Mancat Monday at BBHQ ~ Wing Commander Basil's Favourite Part Of The Garden in 2009 **AND DID MEW KNOW THIS?**

Mancat Monday at BBHQ with The B Team ©BionicBasil ®

Happy Monday Furry Furiends

It's Mancat Monday, and mew know what that means... it's a mancat zone! MOL  

Today I am here sharing all my uber manlycatness, as I don't think I've featured on MCM for years! 

So we're travelling back to the most epically epic year of 2009 when I was in my uber chonk'a'licious era! MOL

ManCat Monday at BBHQ ©BionicBasil® Wing Commander Basil

Just look at me in my prime, even I can't catch my breath!!!! MOL


MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE GARDEN IN 2009

At BBHQ in the Spring of 2009, the P.A. and Dad did a little landscaping; the installed a lovely wildlife pond for the one resident frog, which mew can just see on the left of the photo, not the frog, the pond.

And on the other side of the path they created a mini stone circle just for cats. It's true, take a look below.

Mew see stone circles are in our DNA! MOL MOL 

ManCat Monday at BBHQ ©BionicBasil® Wing Commander Basil - Stone Circle Garden - 1

I loved this rock garden more that mew could imagine.

ManCat Monday at BBHQ ©BionicBasil® Wing Commander Basil - Stone Circle Garden - 2

And I spent countless hours that summer relishing in all that stone circle energy! 


Did Mew Know This About Me?

When I first arrived at BBHQ, I'd had four homes in two years, for some unknown reason I kept being returned to the small cat rescue shelter. But I understand why now; it was because I was meant to get to BBHQ, the P.A. and Dad, those other homes were not meant for me, BBHQ was, and the universe in those first two years of my life was orchestrating events to get me to there, and it did.

Mew know I spent many hours on Pawtrol in my life, and not only within the BBHQ compound, but also the field over the fence.  

And some summer evenings, when the moon was full and the air was still, I'd stay out really late and the P.A. would come looking for me down the field and carry me back home.

The P.A. would whistle when she required my presence, but on those hot summer nights, with all the little creatures rustling in the undergrowth, I must admit that I did purposefully ignore her. Hence the scenario above, when I'd be carried home! MOL

And finally,

I really loved cuddles, seriously I know it's hard to believe when mew read all our epic adventures, but I really did love getting snuggled and cuddled with the P.A. and Dad.
 

I'll leave mew bask in the magnificence of all my manlycatness, and look forward to your company on Wednesday when we're back with The Midweek News Round-up, until then...

Mancat Monday at BBHQ with Angel Humphrey & We Bet Mew Didn't Know This Surprising Fact About Him

Mancat Monday at BBHQ with The B Team ©BionicBasil ®

Welcome To Mancat Monday 

And mew know what that means? It's pin-up time!

Today Angel Humphrey is here sharing all his uber manlycatness

Doesn't he cut a truly epic specimen of a ruggedly handsome mancat?

Angel Humphrey on Mancat Monday at BBHQ ©BionicBasil®

We can almost guarantee all the lady cats in the blogosphere will be swooning over this gorgeous house-panther pin-up

We Bet Mew Didn't Know This Surprising Fact About Humphrey? 

Humphrey was always quite the character. He was a big cat too, though not quite as big as Parsley who's our reigning heavyweight at 6.3kg or 13.88lbs. That aside as black cats go Humphrey was magnificent and very handsome.

He arrived in Mewton-Clawson on the 4th of February 2000; we can only remember the exact date as it was the day before the P.A.'s Birthday and was actually her fraternal grampa's birthday. She went to the rescue after her furst cat, C.J. Catkin departed at the furry young age of 3 due to complications aftur being poisoned by some total flufftard who hated cats near the P.A.'s old house.

So she arrived at the lady's house who rescued all the stray/feral cats locally and did all the TNR [she still does today] to find a lonely black cat sitting in a pen next to a tiny tabby.

Brenda said, "The black cat is called Max, and the full tabby is called Tammy. No one will want either of them because people generally don't want a black cat and the tabby is completely terrified of everyone."

Fifteen minutes later Max and Tammy were adopted and in the SUV on the way home to BBHQ.

Aftur that complete digression, we bet mew didn't know that Humphrey was originally called Max!  

He didn't like the name. In fact, he didn't respond to it all as he said it didn't suit him in the slightest and that Humphrey was the purrfect fit! MOL

Have mew ever changed your name?

So we'll leave mew to admire Humphrey and see mew on Wednesday when we're back- all being well - with The Midweek News Round-Up and Melvyn will be modelling the Glow Bugs bandana. Until then...

Keep calm and do manly-cat things! MOL
