**FESTIVE PHOTO FAILS** from The BBHQ Supurr Secret Archive ~ Mew Won't Believe What We Found! **PLUS** FRIENDLY FILL-INS BLOG HOP

Happy Festive Friday Pawesome Pals

Today, as it's the last Friday of the month and 2024, we're joining in the furbulous Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop.

And we thought we'd share some epically epic festive photo fails with mew from deep, deep, deep in the BBHQ photo archive, so the following selection is from way, way back in the noughties! 

We're featuring Angel's Humphrey, Posie and Snowie, as well as Amber and myself, so the original B Team from back in the day!

It was Catmas 2008 when a friend of the P.A.'s sent a Santa Paws jacket for us, and obviously, we had never worn anything like it, EVER!

Anyhoo, mew'll soon see what we thought of it! MOL

**UPDATE**

And Melvyn is making a supurr special appearance too!

Drop by the marvellous Mudpie's blog at www.mochasmysteriesmeows.com to join in.

ARE MEW READY?

First up is Amber.

Amber will be so annoyed we shared this most unflattering photo.

She was not a happy camper, and let me tell mew, we think this is the incident which sparked the epic crotchiness! MOL

Next up is Angel Snowie.

Angel Snowie was the only one not to flop over and have a hissy fit.

And now it's my turn! MOL

Oh dudes, I had the biggest hissy fit ever! MOL

And finally, Angel Humphrey.

Angel Humphrey just collapsed on the floor like this and didn't move, he said. "Never again am I being subjected to that!"

Then he added.

"Just give me my flack jacket instead!"

It would have been impossible to put the jacket on Angel Posie; well, let me say this, fingers would have been lost in the process! MOL

So here's an Angel Posie Photo Fail from December 2004.

Laser eyes at their finest, and I'm sure she would have incinerated the tree for being made to pose for this! MOL

And finally, we have a brand new contender in the Catmas Photo fails, and that is Melvyn, from 2020.

We'll let the picture speak for itself!!! MOL MOL 

Yep, this is our new favourite after Amber!!! MOL

Today the P.A. is also joining in Friday Fill-ins Blog Hop with the pawesome 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.

1. ______________________ was the highlight of my Christmas ( or Hanukkah).

2. I ate too much __________________ on Christmas ( or Hanukkah).

3. Even though Christmas Day has passed, I _________.

4. I’d still like to _________ before this year is over.

Here are the P.A.'s answers:

1. Receiving a super special art print from Cat Dad was the highlight of my Christmas ( or Hanukkah). I'll share it once it's been framed. It is gorgeous and, of course, cat-themed, but which cat? LOL I'll let you guess in the comments.

2. I ate too much __________________ on Christmas ( or Hanukkah). Actually, I didn't eat too much of anything, and at the time of typing this, we still haven't eaten the Christmas pudding! LOL I think we'll save it for Sunday lunch.

3. Even though Christmas Day has passed, I am enjoying the break. This year has been frenetic, and the downtime is so appreciated. My 2024 has been a whirlwind of so much to do and so little time to do it. In fact, I'm surprised - epically surprised - I've managed to keep the blog on course. I know I've missed a few weeks here and there of jumping in the blog hops, but sadly, some days, I just can't go near the computer anymore. I try my best to visit and comment, and hopefully, in 2025, I'll get a bit more time to be a little more proactive in that department.

4. I’d still like to _________ before this year is over. In this moment, right now, I can't actually think of anything I want to do before 2025 ambushes me. One thing I will do is finish the new book I'm reading on my Kindle.
