The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Who's Taken Fudge's Place at Teatime? Smooch Braved The Cold, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

How's your week going? 

Mew may remember last week when we introduced mew to the red T-Rex? Strangley enough the P.A. went back to the garden centre and bought another one, as she said, "We can't just have one T-Rex, when there's two in the book!"

So meet T-Rex #2!

As everypawdy needs a matching set! MOL

So meet LilyDeth on the left and Sawragon on the right, and if mew missed the latest chapter of Claws of Terror, click here to find out what happened yesterday - OH MY COD mew won't fluffing believe it!

Anyhoo enough of dinosaurs, let's look at this weeks news.

First up in the news 

Who's Taken Fudge's Place at Teatime?

There was a little kerfuffle and a nose was severely out of joint on Monday teatime.

Fudge was late entreing the laundry and found that his bowl and place setting was being used by Melvyn, who normally eats on top of the counter next to the sink - out of shot on the left. Pandora was in Smooch's usual place and Smooch had taken over Pandora's place, the only one in the right spot was Amber, and nopawdy EVER EVER messes with Amber's place! MOL

Parlsey was in Melvyn's spot on top of the counter and poor Fudge had got no bowl at all, and this was due to an oversight by the P.A., this heinous oversight was swiftly corrected and Fudge ended up down the other end of the laundry next to Amber. And let mew tell mew, he didn't like it one bit, as Amber then after finishing her own meal, decided that it wasn't enough and promptly shoved Fudge out of the way and ate his.

Can mew imagine, it was beyond a travesty and Fudge was mealess, but luckily for him Parsley was quite quick in eating his meal, and so Fudge ended up on the counter with a fresh bowl and ate in peace, as Amber can't jump anymore.

Next up in the news

 Smooch Braved The Cold

It's been pawsitively Baltic the last few days, and we're hopeful that the snow will miss us, as that weather front has moved northwards.

Smooch hasn't been outside much as it's been so frigid, but Monday there was a tiny window of sun and he braved the outdoors. He found a sheltered spot in the courtyard inbetween the water butt and a large chive plant, and surprisingly the icy wind didn't reach his little sun spot.

He only had about ten minutes before he conceded defeat as he said, and I quote, "My bum was fluffing freezing!"

And finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

This week the #4 bandana, aka Festive Frolics won by a whisker.

Mew maybe wondering what on fluff is going on with this picture? Well, it's like this, normally Melvyn does his modelling on Tuesday morning after this third breakfast and fourth catnap, but this week we had to bring his schedule forward to Monday as the P.A. was unavailable on Tuesday. Needless to say, Melvyn was NOT best purrleased at all, on any level but he conceded and this was the result! MOL

We still think he looks really cute though, even in his petulant pose, and Fudge and Smooch got in on the catwalk today too... fluff me, it was all happening!  

Check out his videos on:

TikTok

YouTube

Which one should he model next?

The January Collection:

1. Catmas Trees on Pink

2. Festive Cats

3. White Cat in a Hat

4. Festive Frolics

Next week Melvyn will model the pink one, and the following week we've got a surprise bandana to share, and we think it may be a Valentine's theme as we're heading into February.

That's us done for today. Amber will be back on Friday with another fab book just for mew and if mew missed Monday's post click here to catch up on this weeks heinous and rather despurrate dilemma of a severe case of C.I.S. #ohfluff!

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Fudge Up The Tree Again, Parsley's Quiet Contemplation, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

How's your week going? 

If mew read Sunday's post mew will know the BBHQ boiler had been acting up again for a few days and we were pawsitively Baltic as the tempertaures had dropped by several degrees. 

But the good news was that Cat Dad went and changed the filter and gaskets on the heating oil tank again, and miraculously the boiler is working - THANK FLUFF - because it gotten even colder. The boiler chap is still coming out today to check things over and do the annual service, so hopefully we'll stay warm.

The rain stopped last week finally, and thankfully the flooding in the courtyard fluffed off, and luckily Cat Dad got the pump working at work just in time to stop the water entering the workshops.

The P.A. went to the local garden centre on Monday, and while there she found this Catmas tree ornament!

A fluffing Red T-REX, just like the ones in our latest adventure, Claws of Terror! 

What were the odds of that? There it was just hanging about waiting for a new home, so obviously the P.A. couldn't leave it behind, as who knows where it may have ended up! MOL

Now all we have to decide is, if it's Sawragon or LilyDeth, what do mew think?

Anyhoo let's look at this weeks headlines.

First up in the news 

 Fudge Up The Tree Again

Fudge got up to his usual antics this week, and decided that the tree in the courtyard needed some attention.

We don't know what it is with him and heights? Luckily he didn't venture onto the roof, as the tiles are really slippy right now.

Next up in the news

 Parsley's Quiet Contemplation

Parlsey has been hanging in front of the fire in quiet contemplation. But really we think he's dreading his credit card bill as Amber found his hiding placce and went on a little book spending spree! OOPS! MOL

And finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

The Festive Cats bandana won by one vote, so many apologies to all those who voted for the pink one! Maybe that will be next weeks top pick?

This week the catwalk was completely clear for Melvyn to strut his stuff, and he even started his modelling with a leap off the kitchen island! MOL

Which one should he model next?

The January Collection:

1. Catmas Trees on Pink

2. Festive Cats

3. White Cat in a Hat

4. Festive Frolics

That's us done for today. Amber will be back on Friday with another pawesome book just for mew, and if mew missed the first Dear Dr Basil post of 2024 with Alphonse the Klepto Cat, click here to catch up.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Fudge's Severe Case of Catnip Kickers, Pandora's So Over Catmas, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

How's your week going? 

We're glad the festive season has come and gone, and later this week we'll be taking down the decorations, well actually there are not that many, as we only tend to have a tree and a couple of garlands. Not very festive we know, but we are at the bahumbug age now and elaborate Catmas decor is so not on our radar! MOL

Anyhoo it rained a lot, again, and this was the courtyard yesterday.

It's one giant puddle, getting deeper by the hour, but it's ok because we have no plans of going outside in a downpour like that, and there's no way for Amber to get to the library now, well not unless she gets a dingy MOL

At work, all the surrounding fields are about two feet deep, and Cat Dad is just about to get the pump ready, as mew can never be too careful when it comes to flooding.

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.

First up in the news 

Fudge's Severe Case of Catnip Kickers

Our pawesome pal Eric sent us a parcel of catnip kickers for Catmas, and Fudge didn't know which one to kick first! MOL

He's still deliberating on which one is his ultimate favourite, oh and he's not sharing with anypawdy else, they are all his.

Next up in the news

Pandora's So Over Catmas

Pandora wants to know when life can return to normal, as she is so over Catmas. She wants the tree gone so she can take over her condo again at the top of the scratch post, the reason she doesn't like being in there at the moment is because of the lights, she says the glare interferes with her snoozing.

Don't worry Pandora, it will be gone at the weekend! MOL

And finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

This week it was a tie between the White Cat in a Hat and Festive Cats, so Melvyn chose the former to model for mew today! Also, we've just realised that there are five Wednesdays in this month and we've only got four banandas picked, but never fear Melvyn has decided that on the fifth and final news segment of the month, he's going to surprise mew with something completely different! 

Oh did we have fun making the video, Smooch and Fudge were determined that they were being included today. But Melvyn like the true professional he is, did a truly stellar catwalk run! MOL
