**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.

Welcome To Friday Fluffers ~ Showcasing The Latest Batch of Photo Bloopers From The BBHQ Archives **STARRING ALL THE B TEAM** Parsley's Mancat Monthly Pin-Up ~ Smooch's Sit Up Fail ~ Fudge's Epic Specs Appeal ~ Pandora's Close Up ~ Amber Had To Outdo Pandora ~ Melvyn's Epic Modelling Fail AND **BONUS FLUFFER** WHEN BASIL FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TANK **PLUS** Friendly Fill-Ins AND Photo Fails Blog Hops

Happy Friyay Fab Pals

Welcome to our Friday Fluffers post where we showcase a selection of photo bloopers, or photo fails from BBHQ, the photos that we thought would neffur see the light of day, buried deep, deep, deep in the archives on Level 12 of our secret bunker, with no chance of ever being seen on the interwebs for the world to see... UNTIL NOW!

Are mew ready for some fun outtakes from The B Team? Of course, mew are!

Also, this is the last Fluffers post of the current season and today, everypawdy is here.

And as it's the last Friday of the month, today is also... 

www.mochasmysteriesmeows.com

...and we think this selection fits the criteria purrfectly! MOL

First on the podium is 

Parsley's Mancat Monthly Pin-Up

Parsley's Mancat Monthly pin-up fail; we have no words! MOL

Smooch's Sit Up Fail

Smooch was taking advantage of a quick sun spell to have a quick workout, but he got stuck mid sit up! MOL

Next up is

 Fudge's Epic Specs Appeal

Oh, we did laugh when Cat Dad was holding Fudge, and the P.A. put the specs on him!

 Pandora's Close Up

Pandora got as close as pawsible to the P.A. to get her point across!

And finally 

Amber Had To Outdo Pandora

Amber, seeing Pandora's effort above, found this to outdo the close-up above! MOL

 Melvyn's Epic Modelling Fail

This was NOT one of Melvyn's finest modelling moments! MOL

**BONUS FLUFFER**

WHEN BASIL FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TANK

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

That was all I screamed when I learned the tank had ended up in the quarry after Smooch Fudge and Parsley decided to go on a joyride #truestory! MOL 

We're joining in Friday Fill-ins with the fabulous 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.

1. I have had Co-vid _____________ times.

2. There is no acceptable excuse for ________________________.

3. I wish _________ lasted all year long.

4. I probably look silly when I _________, but I don’t care.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. I have had Co-vid _____________ times. I don't think I've had co-vid. I've had a couple of colds since its emergence in 2020, and those colds were the normal variety, as far as I could tell. There was no way I was poking a stick down my throat to swab, to find out if it was of the co-vid strain, fluff that!!! 

2. There is no acceptable excuse for animal cruelty whatsoever. Anyone who harms animals should have the full force of the law dropped on them from a great height, like a pyramid.

3. I wish Spring and Autumn lasted all year long. I love those seasons, with Autumn, just by a cat's whisker, taking first place.

4. I probably look silly when I am talking about life, the universe and everything with the cats, but I don’t care. And I must say, their conversational skills are epic; the amount of meows and purrs of input are truly extraordinary, and their insights are eye-opening! LOL

Welcome To Friday Fluffers ~ Showcasing The Newest Photo Escapades From BBHQ in **DRAW ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH GIRLS** **WHO POSED THE BEST?** Starring Fudge, Amber and Pandora - And no, Fudge is NOT a Girl, or Even French For That Matter!

Welcome to

Happy Friday Pawesome Pals

Welcome to our Friday Fluffers post where we showcase a selection of photo bloopers or photo fails from BBHQ, the photos that we thought would never see the light of day, buried deep, deep, deep in the archives on Level 12 of our secret bunker, with no chance of ever being seen on the interwebs for the world to see... UNTIL NOW!

Are mew ready for some fun outtakes from The B Team? Of course, mew are!

Today we're doing something a little different, read on to find out what Fudge came up with.

And as it's the last Friday of the month, today is also... 

www.mochasmysteriesmeows.com

Luckily, Pandora's effort fits the criteria! MOL

Some of mew may know that Fudge is really interested in all things arty, and the other day, he remembered that he used to share arty posts: 

Getting All Arty-Farty with The Artful Fudger

Click here to see King Basil's epic pawtrait. Anyhoo, he got to thinking after watching Titanic at the weekend; purrhaps a themed Friday Fluffers might be fun, so he asked Amber and Pandora if they were up for the challenge, which of course they were, but only if Fudge posed first! MOL

And first on the podium is Fudge in...

Draw Me Like One Of Your French Girls

Yep, he really understands the brief, posing to purrfection! MOL

Definitely 10 out of 10.

Seriously, he really just gets it.

This is a 15 out of 10 for sure! MOL

Next up is Amber in...

Draw Me Like One Of Your French Girls

Good, but not as good as Fudge. We think this merits 9 out of 10.

A little too coquettish, purrhaps?!  

And finally, Pandora in...

 Draw Me Like One Of Your French Girls

Pandora is just not feeling it on any level. 

Fudge showed her the poses, and she tried her best.

She's always been a little camera shy, so we'll give her 7 out of 10 for effort, however she does speak with a French accent so we've bumped her up to an 8.5 out of 10! MOL

WHO'S YOUR FAVOURITE?

WHO POSED THE BEST?

LEAVE YOUR RATINGS OUT OF 10 IN THE COMMENTS!

We're also joining Friday fill-ins with the fabulous 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs this week.

1. The summer is just about over and I have yet to ___________________________.

2. The highlight of my summer was _________________________.

3. _________ is a fictional character I really relate to.

4. My interest in _________ began when _________.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. The summer is just about over and I have yet to paint the fence black, and the summer house needs a coat of white. Here's hoping that the weather is conducive and that I will get inspired to tackle both jobs. Plus I need to order new spring bulbs as the wet weather earlier in the year rotted everything. And I was very naughty the other day and ordered a lot of new perennials online - OH DEAR! So that's another job on top of the 200 hundred or so already waiting in the queue!

2. The highlight of my summer was Cat Dad building the new deck over the Bank Holiday weekend; it's the little things, you know! LOL

3. _________ is a fictional character I really relate to. LOL, I've read thousands of books and never encountered a character I can relate to, but there's always the next book. 

4. My interest in sewing began when I was about four, and I would watch my grandmother make things on her manual Singer sewing machine. During my first foray on the Singer machine when no one was about, I ran over my finger with the needle, but a valuable lesson was learned: Keep your fingers out of the way of the needle! LOL
