The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Smooch's Fluffy 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®.

Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends

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

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 also joining in Athena's Fabulous Art Hop so do stop by and show off your pawesome arty-farty skills.

Cute cat graphic for the caturday art blog hop

A stylised, watercolor‑effect portrait of Smooch, a white cat with black markings, sitting on a woven mat. He wears a purple collar with a small bell. 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.

Click here to dive into this cat-tastic puzzle starring fluffy Smooch, having a little grump on, all because of a flannel. It’s a floof-tastic test of feline finesse, and guess what? 

We crushed it in just 6 minutes and 49 seconds. Can mew beat our time? 

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...

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection, this week, Amber, BBHQ Head Librian is here sharing:

Amber's Basket Selfie 


Amber, an orange‑and‑white cat, is curled up snugly in a soft grey plaid bed placed on a white wooden surface. She looks straight at the camera with a relaxed, content expression, creating a cosy, homely scene.

The basket on the landing is the go-to place, and there's often a queue for this comfy spot. In the summer, it gets bathed in sunshine from the window on the half landing.

It's the top snooze spot, in demand every day! MOL

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the little pillows on each side are filled with primo catnip... I wonder if that has anything to do with its popularity?

He’s surrounded by red and pink heart‑shaped balloons and a bouquet of pink roses. A speech bubble beside him reads, “It’s time to give those little grey cells a wurkout!” The scene is styled like a playful, academic-themed poster for a brain‑training activity.
