Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection. 

Today, Ginger Floof Fudge is sharing an intimate moment with the catmint!!! MOL

Fudge's Epic Spring Selfie


Fudge an orange cat with a fluffy tail sits on a stonemill whel in a spring garden, wearing a orange collar and looking toward a patch of green plants aka catmint and red tulips. Trees, shrubs, and a building with a red roof appear in the background under a partly cloudy sky. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” is shown at the bottom.

Look at that face, he knows that summer is coming and the catmint will be prolific and heavenly very soon! MOL

He's now adopted a new approach to catmint and catnip cultivation, which involves talking to the plants, as Vera, the bunker A.I., told him that playing music and speaking to the plants really helps with growth.

Fudge has also asked Humphrey to create a sound system that can be placed around the garden so the plants, flowers, and trees can experience ambient music, encouraging a harmonious environment for maximum output...

Amber is calling him, The Catnip and Catmint Whisperer! 

Fudge says he's actually becoming a botanical guru! MOL

On that note, we'll say B.F.N. - bye for now, as Smooch gets ready for lunch, Parsley is on pawtrol, and Pandora is in the craft room with the P.A., Melvyn is snoozing on the big cushion, Amber is meditating in the catservatory while Fudge talks to his favourite catmint plant, offering gentle encouragement for rapid growth! MOL

We do hope mew have an epic day, and we look forward to your company in the morning when we're back with another surprise, mew know how we like to keep your whiskers curious and tingling with anticipation for the week ahead.

In the meantime...

Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

First up, many, many apologies for missing last week's blog hops and commenting; things happened, and there was no more time. We'll try to catch up this week. So sorry about that! 

Now, let's give mew the weather report. It has been rainy, showery, gusty, with random splodges of sunshine, plus a pawful of longer spells of sunshine but with a bitterly cold wind, so completely useless! However, apparently on Friday it's going to reach a supurr, mega, epic 17 Celsius, but if the wind is still cold, that will be as much use as a chocolate fireguard! 

Oh, and before we head into the news, on the Sunday Selfies post, The J-Cats from Purr-sonally Speaking asked;

What are those little purple flowers?

Clusters of vibrant purple grape hyacinths bloom in the foreground of a garden bed, surrounded by pastel pink, yellow, and white primroses with lush green foliage. Moss‑covered rocks, dried leaves, and patches of grass create a natural, slightly wild spring garden setting. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

Here's a better photo, as the one on Sunday with Parsley; the flowers were barely visible.

These are grape hyacinth; they are a delightful shade of bluey-purple. Depending on the light, they can seem bluer or more purple, and they grow all over the place, just how we like our gardening, utterly chaotic in the best possible way! MOL  

The Forget-Me-Knots are about to burst forth around the garden, and some of the tulips are still taking their time. We'll see next week if things improve. 

Now, let's look at this week's top stories...

A bright spring border made of lush green grass topped with alternating pink and white tulips, accented by small yellow flowers. Taller blades of grass rise behind the blooms, creating a fresh, cheerful, garden‑themed decorative frame.

First up in the news this week...

Parsley's Checking The Flowers


Parsley, black cat stands on a paved patio beside a vibrant flower bed filled with red, pink, yellow, and white tulips surrounded by lush green leaves. The cat looks toward the flowers as if inspecting them. In the background, another torti cat, Pandora, sits further back in the garden, partially hidden among the greenery. A small pond, a large pot, and garden furniture complete the peaceful outdoor scene. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom

Here's this week's cat with tulips photo, and if mew look closely, Pandora is in the shot!

Yep, she was spying on Parsley as he was inspecting the flowers in the raised beds, and he had no idea she was watching him! MOL

Next up in the news...

Smooch Couldn't Be Fluffed


Smooch, a white cat with black markings rests on a weathered wooden bench in weak sunlight. The cat, a tripaw, sits comfortably with its black‑tipped tail curled beside it, the light highlighting the texture of its fur and the bench. Green garden foliage surrounds the scene, creating a peaceful outdoor setting. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

Smooch was in the garden, and he just couldn't be bothered with anything.

He said, and I quote, "I just can't be fluffed!"

So he parked up on the bench in the courtyard and took five while the sun tried to peak out - it didn't!

In other news...

Fudge's Snug As A Bug


Fudge, a ginger floof, lies cozily wrapped in a soft beige‑and‑brown woool rug, with his head and one paw peeking out. The cat is nestled among patterned cushions, including geometric and polka‑dot designs, creating a warm and snug indoor scene. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

While all that outdoor stuff was happening. Fudge made the sensible decision to stay on the sofa, as snug as a bug in a rug!

He said, and I quote, "Yeah, that outdoor vibe is not vibing with me today!"

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Spring Freshness was the winner this week! 

A white‑and‑dark‑furred cat sits on a circular green‑and‑white toy track with a textured brown mat in the centre. The cat wears a white bandana decorated with colourful spring‑themed patterns, including flowers and circular designs. The scene is set indoors with wooden flooring, large bright windows, and lush green plants in the background. “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

Melvyn sat on his Catit play set for this epic shot! MOL

What he's not telling mew is this... right in front (out of shot) was the biggest pile of catnip which he had been partaking in prior to this modelling assignment... yep, mew can imagine right?!!! MOL 

A curved string of pastel pennant flags hangs in gentle arcs, with triangles in soft blue, pink, yellow, and green. At each peak of the curve sits a white flower with a yellow center, giving the decoration a cheerful, festive look suitable for celebrations or spring‑themed designs.

Which one should he model next?


Here's the April Bandana collection.

 As spring is now officially here, we chose some more colourful and bright bandanas for this month. 

Five colourful triangular bandanas are arranged on a light wooden surface, each with a different vibrant pattern. Designs include hot‑air balloons and animals, stylised floral motifs, large pink flowers on teal, playful pink cats on black, and a yellow‑and‑pink floral print. Text reads “The April Bandana Collection at BBHQ.

The April Collection:

1.  Ballooning with Furiends

2. Spring Freshness

3. Peony Purrfection 

4. Cute Pink Cats

5. Blooming Marvellous

Tell us your top pick for next week in the comments!

That's us done for today.

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
