**FREE PUZZLES**ST PATRICK'S DAY 2026** Brain Training with Cats #98 with your Epic host ~ Professor Basil P.H.D. **PLUS** An Epic Throwback To May 2018

A festive St Patrick’s Day banner featuring Professor Basil dressed in a green top hat and bow tie, standing in front of a crossword‑style puzzle background. Shamrocks, green balloons, and rainbow accents surround him, and a speech bubble says, “It’s time to give those little grey cells a workout!”

St Patrick’s Day brain training puzzles for cat lovers, featuring free printables and a fun 2018 throwback from Professor Basil.

Happy Monday guys

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!


(for tomorrow! MOL)

We’re getting the shamrocks shaking a day early because mew know I wasn’t going to miss the chance to don my finest green top hat and put your little grey cells through their paces.

And because it’s a special edition, I'm rolling out a totally top fluff throwback from May 2018 - a supurr epic moment featuring yours truly posing with Ramsbottom. A true BBHQ classic.

No, we don't have Ramsbottom anymore; we tried to sheep-nap him, but the P.A.'s brother fetched him back! MOL

Now grab your lucky charms, settle in, and let’s get puzzling!

Basil, a white‑and‑tabby cat wearing a red collar, sits on a bright green lawn in the garden. Behind him stands a large black ram sculpture among lush foliage and trees. The scene is sunny and peaceful, capturing a throwback moment from May 2018.

This was an epic photo shoot for a book review way back in 2018 for HarperCollins, who very kindly sent Amber a book about a sheep-herding cat called Bodacious. If mew want to see the original post, click here.

And we can tell mew this, paw on heart, HarperCollins never read a book review like this before!!! MOL

**VALENTINE'S 2026** Brain Training with Cats #97 with your Epic host ~ Professor Basil P.H.D. **PLUS** An Epic Throwback To July 2016

Professor Basil, a tabby and white cat wearing a black bowler hat with a red rose and a red bow tie, sits in front of a large black‑and‑white crossword puzzle background. He’s surrounded by red and pink heart‑shaped balloons and a bouquet of pink roses. A speech bubble beside him reads, “It’s time to give those little grey cells a wurkout!” The scene is styled like a playful, academic-themed poster for a brain‑training activity. At www.bionicbasil.com

Happy Monday guys

Welcome to another furbulous Brain Training sesh on the blog today, and since it is Valentine's Day on Caturday, I've got a Valentinesy theme for mew.

And this week I'm sharing a throwback from July 2016, when the world was an epic place! MOL

A close‑up side profile of a tabby‑and‑white cat, Basil, with green eyes, looking attentively to the right. The lighting highlights the texture of the cat’s fur, showing soft tabby markings on the head and ears and bright white fur on the face and neck. The background includes a textured carpet and part of a piece of furniture, creating a warm indoor setting. At www.bionicbasil.com

I was in a very contemplative mood that day.

Just look at that focus! MOL

HAPPY EASTER MONDAY!

Welcome to another furbulous Brain Training sesh on the blog, and as it's Easter, mew know where I'm going with this! MOL

And here's my epically epic throwback from June 2018, and the weather that day was utterly glorious, just look at that sky!

Brain Training with Professor Basil #94 @BionicBasil® Basil's Epic Throwback to June 2018

What a day that was!

It's time to get those little grey cells working.

Here's the answer key to last time's sudoku #60


IF MEW WERE HERE EARLIER MEW WOULD HAVE SEEN THE MESSAGE BELOW AND NO ANSWER KEY ABOVE.

But great news, I sent the P.A. to work today (Easter Monday) to rectify this missing answer key! MOL

Easter Divider 2025 ©BionicBasil®

MESSAGE AND APOLOGY

I did run into a bit of a technical glitch here (on Good Friday), which I'm rather embarrassed to admit, especially being the greatest cat commander of all time. 

However, even the greatest commanders sometimes have to admit and accept their failings.

Mine today is this: the answer key mew're looking for is actually on the P.A.'s computer at work, not this one! #Whoops #OhDear

But never fear, I can rectify that on Wednesday, and therefore the panic is now over, mew're welcome! MOL MOL
