The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Pandora's Deck Selfie

Four illustrated cats pose together in front of a bright field of yellow tulips. From left to right: Fudge, a ginger cat; Parsley, a black cat; Smooch, a white cat with black markings; and Melvyn, a brown, black, and white tabby. Around them are scattered black‑and‑white Polaroid‑style cat selfies, and above the group is a white sign with a paw print and the text “Sunday Selfies ©BionicBasil®.

Early‑spring vibes on the BBHQ deck; green shoots, sleepy garden pots, and Pandora striking a purrfect selfie pose.

A bright spring border made of lush green grass dotted with evenly spaced yellow tulips in full bloom. The flowers stand upright with open petals, creating a cheerful, fresh, and vibrant decorative frame.

Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection. This time, Pandora said it was her turn, and here is the little furry feline on the deck. It was a bit overcast the other day, but mew can see the pots in the background, yes, there is life, and hopefully, this next week or so, colour will burst forth. 

We're quite excited to see, as these were only planted in autumn/fall, so we have no idea how colourful they may be! #excitingtimes #worththewait 

Pandora's Deck Selfie


A long‑haired tortoiseshell cat sits on a wooden deck, looking back over her shoulder toward the camera. Behind her are terracotta plant pots with green foliage against a brick wall, creating a calm outdoor garden setting. This photo is titled “Pandora’s Deck Selfie” for the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop at BionicBasil.com, featuring Pandora from The B Team.

Smooch and Fudge were just out of shot, and she warned them, "Don't come any closer, mew'll ruin it!" MOL

Oh yes, she can be quite bossy at times, just like Amber. But for Cod's sake, don't tell Amber we said that, as all library privileges will be revoked faster than mew could say:

I'll have a niptini, shaken, not stirred, with a spring of catmint on the side!

Anyhoo, it's time for us to go and get outside, the garden is calling most strongly, well, we have to go and snoopervise the P.A. as she's 'doing things' that need our expert guidance before she cuts the catmint in the millwheel by the pond too much.

If this happens again this year, we're not sure if Fudge will keep it together! MOL

As always, Smooch is getting ready for lunch ... he keeps staring at the oven with wanton aggression whilst growling intermittently. The P.A. said he will have to wait until she's finished in the garden, and no, we can't repeat his reply! MOL 

Then we'll be commenting and hopping around everypawdy's blog catching up as we do every Sunday, because there aren't enough hours in the week at the moment.

We'll be back bright and breezy in the morning, and look forward to your company then with 'something', we're not sure what, so we'll just say SURPRISE! 

We do hope mew have an epic day, and remember to ...

**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

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

Here's the answer key to last time's Sudoku #64
 
A completed 9×9 Sudoku grid showing the full solution for Puzzle 64, presented as part of Professor Basil’s Brain Training Valentine’s 2026 edition.

Are mew ready for this week's puzzle?

A St Patrick’s Day–themed Sudoku puzzle titled “Basil’s Easy Sudoku Puzzle #65,” decorated with shamrocks, green balloons, and a cat wearing a green leprechaun hat and bow tie. The partially filled 9×9 Sudoku grid is displayed in the centre with a festive green border.

Just click right-click to save and/or print the puzzle. 

The answer key will be on the next B.T.W.C. post, which I'm thinking will probably be for Easter.

A heart shape made entirely of layered green clover leaves in varying shades, creating a textured, nature‑themed St Patrick’s Day–style divider.

Here's this week's wordsearch.

A St Patrick’s Day–themed word search titled “Basil’s Bonkers Wordsearch #93,” decorated with shamrocks, balloons, and a rainbow. A cat in a green outfit appears at the bottom beside a pot of gold. The puzzle grid is shown on the left, with a themed word list on the right.

Just click right-click to save and/or print the wordsearch.

It took me 8 mins 39 secs...  How did mew do?

I hope mew enjoy today's puzzles, and The B Team will be back on Wednesday with the Midweek News Round-up, so join us for all the gossip! Until then...

Keep calm, and puzzle on

and be ...

Parsley, Fudge and Melvyn's Back Door Step Selfie 


Parsley, a sleek black cat, sits on a decorative mat in the doorway, looking outside. Beside him, Fudge, a ginger cat with a fluffy tail, stands at the threshold peering out. Just beyond them, Melvyn — a tabby cat with brown, black, and white markings — stands on the flag stone, gazing into the courtyard. All three appear alert and curious as they watch the world beyond the door.

Yep, they all heard about the catnip plant Parsley found a week or so ago... but the P.A. had cut it back. So everypawdy was quite fluffed off! MOL

They even rang Catline and reported 'fresh catnip denial by staff' ... the case is pending ...

Of course, mew can! MOL


**Mid-afternoon update**

**DISTRESSING NEWS**

This morning, on a routine web search, the P.A. found a website

www . mycatshome . com

They have been scraping our blog illegally since January 2026.

They have taken our posts - 20+, so far - and rewritten them probably with A.I., using all the B Team cats, our 'speech', even going as far as taking the first What the Fluff Q&A post, completely rewriting it and creating new lore and characters.

This is serious enough on its own. But it gets worse, they have even accused us of A.I. written nonsense, using the Valentine's Brain Training with Cats post as their example, in black and white for all and sundry to see. This really hissed the P.A. off, like seriously, she was spitting brimstone.

And it gets worse, they are a commercial site selling A.I. cat doors and collars. So they are using everything they've scraped from us to sell their products, as there are multiple product links in some posts.

They are accusing us of being a shonky A.I. written site, all the while probably using A.I. to content scrape us, A.I. to rewrite our posts to fit their narrative, and their A.I. products ... LIKE, WHAT THE FLUFFING FLUFF!????

They have included links back to our blog for each post they have used. Like wow! 

They have already been sent a DMCA. We have downloaded the 20+ links, screenshots, and webpages, and given them 72 hours to comply.

But it gets even worse. We are not the only ones there -  the P.A. also saw:

The Catblogosphere

15 and Meowings blog

There may be others, so please go and check whether any of you are there.

There is an email address on the 'contact us' page for you to send a DMCA.

We have also posted on Facebook in these groups:

The Catblogosphere

Cats with Blogs

A bright spring border made of lush green grass dotted with evenly spaced yellow tulips in full bloom. The flowers stand upright with open petals, creating a cheerful, fresh, and vibrant decorative frame.

We're off to cruise around the garden and see what's happening. We're waiting to see when the hedgehogs wake up, and if the weather warms up again, then sooner rather than later.

Smooch is camped out in the kitchen. The P.A. asked him if he wouldn't prefer to be outside. He grumbled and said he has to make sure that lunch is served on time ... yep ... he's on a one-cat mission for lunch at 1pm, sharp!

We'll see mew bright and breezy in the morning, don't ask us what with, because we're having a hard time deciding what to share from the three options we have. So surprise! MOL

We do hope mew have an epic day

HAPPY MARCH 1ST!!!

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie, and this week, Smooch takes centre stage at BBHQ, in ...

Smooch's Fluffy Selfie 

Smooch, a white cat with black markings, sits on a woven rug in a room with a light wooden floor. He wears a red collar with a small bell and looks slightly to the side, with a dark piece of furniture behind him. The scene has a calm, homely feel, fitting for a “Sunday Selfies” moment

He'd been outside, it was damp, then he came in, dried off by the woodburner and then had a bit of brush, and boom, supurr fluff! MOL

But he refused to have his nose cleaned, yep, that was not happening on any level - hence the slight scowl and look of dissatisfaction.

And it was all going swimmingly well, until the warm, damp flannel came into play! MOL

Behind him is a soft, painterly background of green grass and a dark structure, giving the image an artistic, hand‑painted feel suitable for a Catuday Art feature.

The effect was created with Befunky - Watercolour GFX 1 + colour changes to hue and saturation.

Of course, mew can! MOL

Anyhoo, it's time for us to go and do something; we're not sure what right now, because it's been raining for three days. Just for a change.

Lunch is on as normal. Smooch will more than likely keep camped out near the oven, growling occasionally because the food is not ready fast enough, and no sign of the new oven yet, another BBHQ anomaly!!! MOL

Pandora will be here in the morning with her March Meow'o'Scope, so do stop by for that, and if mew missed February's and want to see if she was accurate, click here to find out.

We do hope mew have an epic day, and remember to always...
