**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.

A symmetrical St Patrick’s Day–themed divider featuring a heart made of green shamrocks in the centre, flanked on both sides by stacks of gold coins and scattered shamrocks.

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
