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!

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

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

We hope mew are having a lovely week.

Let's begin with the weather report. 

Well, compared to last week, it has improved somewhat. However, Good Friday and the Easter weekend were rather overcast, and Caturday evening was like a whirlwind. But then on Monday the sun came out, and again on Tuesday, with it being even warmer.

The P.A. has had to fill the birdbaths up and water some of the pots as everything has dried out. It seems quite mad after all the rain over the winter, but then so it goes! MOL

Last week, on Wednesday, was the full moon, and the photo we shared was from Monday evening. Here's the actual full moon:

A nighttime sky with a bright full moon partially hidden behind thick, swirling clouds. The moonlight creates a glowing halo with subtle rainbow hues around the cloud edges. In the foreground, a silhouetted pergola or garden structure is outlined by small string lights. Bare tree branches stretch in from the right side, adding contrast against the illuminated clouds. The scene has a calm, atmospheric feel. The bottom of the image includes the text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

It had a really pretty halo around it, and the clouds were quite atmospheric, so all in all, not a bad moon pic! MOL

Now let's look at the news.

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...

Pandora Showing Off The Tulips


Pandora, a fluffy dark‑coloured cat sits on a light wooden deck beside two small solar garden lights. Behind the cat is a garden bed with green plants and tall dried stems. To the right, a terracotta pot overflows with blooming pink and purple tulips. A dark wooden fence frames the background. The scene feels peaceful and homely. The bottom of the image includes the text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com.”

Pandora loves the pink and magenta tulips!

And honestly, who can blame her?

These tulips below have been blooming for a week or so, but the centre flowers were being a little resistant to opening; they were closed on Caturday, but on Monday they burst forth!

A collage of four side‑by‑side photos showing a rectangular black planter filled with blooming tulips in shades of purple, pink, and a few red‑orange accents. The planter sits on a sunlit patio surrounded by wooden structures and garden greenery. Bright daylight highlights the vivid colours of the flowers. The text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom centre.

Hopefully, more will be out in front of the catservatory over the next few days, as they seem to be a little slow to emerge.

The red ones we shared last week have been blooming for days; if the others are out for next week, we'll definitely share!

Fudge and Smooch Nose To Nose


An orange cat with a fluffy tail stands on a sunlit wooden deck, leaning forward to touch noses with a white cat marked with black patches. The second cat sits inside a large planter filled with tall, grassy plants. Bright sunlight casts clear shadows across the deck, and stone pavers form the background. The text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

Fudge and Smooch were nose to nose on the back deck.

Don't ask what they were discussing, because we have no idea! MOL

Melvyn's Flat Out on The Huge Cushion


Melvyn, a brown black‑and‑white tabby cat lies stretched out on a large, colourful patchwork cushion made of floral and patterned fabric squares. To the right stands a tall pink cat tree with multiple levels, sisal‑wrapped scratching posts, pom‑pom trim, and several plush toys. A woven basket filled with more toys sits beside it. On the left, a pink paw‑print stool and a fluffy pink chair add to the cosy indoor cat space. Light wooden flooring and a beige rug complete the warm, playful setting. The image includes the text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com.”

While everypawdy was outside, Melvyn decided to get comfy on one of Fudge's favourite snooze spots!

Don't tell Fudge! MOL

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Ballooning with Furiends won the vote last week.

He spent ten minutes rolling all over the place before the P.A. managed to get this photo! MOL

Melvyn a white, black‑and‑brown tabby cat lounges on a dark textured outdoor mat near a brick wall and white door. The cat wears a colourful bandana decorated with cartoon designs, including a pink rhino, clouds, stars, and playful patterns. Reflections of greenery appear in a nearby window, and outdoor furniture and plants create a cosy patio setting. The text “copyright www.bionicbasil.com” appears at the bottom.

So much cuteness is happening right now! MOL

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy April Fools Day ~ Did mew prank anypawdy today? 

We didn't because that kind of behaviour happens all the time at BBHQ, so we thought we'd take the day off! MOL

Oh good gravy, the weather, let's talk about that for a moment, it's been windy, blustery, gusty and cold. Mew know the really funny thing, that after it's been a supurr blustery day right up until bedtime and later, blowing wildly and being totally obnoxious, guess what?

In the middle of the night, it's calmer than a mill pond, every night, not a puff of a breeze or whisper of air, just completely still. How's that work? It's not a recent thing either.

Anyhoo, it's a full moon tonight, so here's Monday night's offering, not great, but better than nothing.

A nighttime garden scene featuring a small white shed outlined with warm string lights, framed by bare branches and a metal archway. A bright almost full moon glows in the deep blue sky above, casting soft light across the quiet BBHQ garden.

We'll take some proper pics tonight, for next week.

Good news, the hedgehogs are visiting, three so far, so we'll keep mew posted on that.

The tulips are bursting forth in a riot of colour, which pleases us tremendously as we are so over the winter.

A black circular planter filled with bright red tulips and lush green foliage sits on a gravel surface outside a building. The tulips are in full bloom, their vivid red petals contrasting with the greenery and the reflective window behind them

Look at that red, isn't it glorious? Here's hoping that more will burst forth for next week.

Anyhoo, let's look at what's been happening at BBHQ.

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...

Smooch Says Mew Missed A Bit

White cat with black markings stands on a wooden deck, mid‑meow, looking up as if calling for attention. A white bench and a metal planter with greenery sit behind him, creating a cosy outdoor BBHQ scene.

Smooch was on the rear deck by the pond, complaining that somepawdy had missed a spot of green algae under the bench. Yep, he threatened that whoever it was needed to get back out there and finish the job properly.

We can't share the P.A.s response, as we're nice cats, and what she said fell well outside those parameters! MOL

Fudge's Favourite Grass Spot


Fudge, a fluffy ginger cat, walks through long green grass in the BBHQ garden, partially hidden by plants. A large weathered terracotta pot and dense evergreen branches create a rustic, leafy backdrop, with a small black garden light nearby.

On a little pawtrol Fudge went to his favourite clump of grass and had his fill. Then he furry kindly left a furball on the doormat by the patio doors.

He is so thoughtful, don't mew think?

Parsley's Outdoor Snuggle Spot


Parsley, a sleek black cat wearing a green collar, lounges in a patch of sunlight on a wooden threshold. He’s stretched out on an orange‑and‑red patterned mat, with soft indoor carpet behind him, enjoying his favourite cosy outdoor snuggle spot.

We did get a bit of sunshine yesterday, so while the P.A. was in the craft room, Parsley enjoyed a supurr snuggle spot in the doorway.

And now, fashion fans, it’s time for Melvyn’s moment…

He got a head start with the Cute Pink Cats bandana.

Melvyn, a white, black and brown tabby cat, stands on a dark kitchen countertop wearing a colourful bandana decorated with pink cats, flowers, and leaves on a black background. Soft daylight from a nearby window brightens the kitchen, with pale cabinets and small appliances in the background.

Apologies, the photo is a little blurry, Melvyn was supurr effervescent yesterday and couldn't keep still! MOL
