The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up **SORRY FOR THE FLUFF UP** ~ Fudge and Smooch Are Sad, Pandora's Purrching, and Melvyn, Parsley, Pandora and Fudge Deciding What To Watch ~ **PLUS** Melvyn's Modelling

Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Well, the weather at BBHQ has been a mix of rain, rain and more rain in varying degrees; it's been up to 14 degrees Celsius and down to 4 degrees Celsius. The bad news is that it's leaking in the crystal room; a couple of tiles have shifted and are now causing the issue. The P.A.'s cousin is a builder. He came out in January and said he'd be back when the weather was warmer, but, as with all family, he never followed through, and as it was supurr dry all year, we never really thought about it until now!!! MOL

Anyhoo, so it goes!

The P.A. still is feeling unwell; this flu is a really doozy. The P.A. rarely gets anything, so this has knocked her sideways.

We apologise for the Catmas card debacle. We ordered our cards last month as always, to get ahead of the curve. The P.A. went away for a week and forgot all about it. The cards didn't turn up, but then a week or two later, some other cards did, not ours, but for a company in Germany, and by the time this all happened, it was too late to post, so we feel really hissed off about that. So we'll have to send e-cards this year... sorry about that.

First up in the news

Fudge and Smooch Are Sad


In a garden setting, Ginger Fudge—a vibrant orange cat wearing a green collar—stands confidently on a moss-covered rock, gazing upward. Nearby, a white cat with black markings, affectionately known as the tripawed smooch, sits on a tiled surface looking toward Ginger Fudge. The scene is surrounded by dried plants, green foliage, capturing a moment of quiet connection between the two cats in their natural outdoor environment. Text at the bottom reads: "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Smooch and fudge were sad when they went into the garden the other day and saw the catmint... yep, it's looking even more sad than the P.A. feels right now.

Pandora's Purrching


Pandora, a fluffy torti cat, sits majestically atop a moss-covered stone in a lush garden. Surrounding her are vibrant green plants and foliage, creating a serene natural setting. In the background, a striking red vintage mechanical device with wheels and a handle adds a bold contrast to the greenery. The scene is outdoors, near a wooden structure, and captures Pandora as a regal focal point amid rustic charm. Text at the bottom reads: "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Pandora was purrching on one of the ancient rocks in the garden. We've never seen her do this before, but then she suddenly started doing a lot of things she's never done before! MOL

Melvyn, Parsley, Pandora and Fudge Deciding What To Watch 


Four cats gather in a cozy living room. Two are perched on a plaid-covered sofa, while two sits on the floor in front. The room is warmly lit, with a cat tree in the background, decorative pillows, and a textured rug. The cats appear to be interacting or observing something together, creating a relaxed and social atmosphere. Text at the bottom reads: "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

This was the scene in the sitting room the other night: a strong debate was underway about whether National Geographic on the Serengeti or the David Attenborough Ocean Odyssey was being watched. MOL

Amber said, "I'm too fluffing old for this!" And promptly went upstairs to watch the library shopping channel with Smooch!

Finally this week

Here's the gorgeous Catmas Cats bandana, and here's the main dude, doing his thing! MOL

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Who's On The Roof Again - Fudge, Smooch, Pandora, Melvyn and Fudge, and Melvyn's Taken Over The P.A.s New Office Chair ~ **PLUS** Melvyn's Modelling

A colourful and whimsical blog post banner featuring ten cats from The B Team arranged in a row at the bottom, each with unique fur patterns and expressive faces. Above them, a festive sign with red and blue ribbon accents reads: "Midweek News Round Up with The B Team @BionicBasil®".

The background includes trees, bunting, and floating newspapers labelled "NEWS", creating a cheerful and playful atmosphere. At www.bionicbasil.com

Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Let's start with the weather report: It was cold, wet, squally and damp until  Monday, then yesterday it got drier and a bit more sunny, so that was quite nice to get a couple of sun puddles.

Remember on Friday, as part of the Fill-ins from 15 and Meowing, asked when the Catmas Tree goes up.

And then we found a picture of this, from 2023!

A festive Christmas tree at BBHQ is adorned with whimsical ornaments, including a standout felt mouse dressed in a red sweater. The mouse holds a small bunch of red berries with green leaves and hangs from the tree by a twine loop. Surrounding it are green pine needles, glowing string lights, and other decorations such as a red circular felt ornament and a white ornament with red dots. The scene radiates holiday cheer and cozy charm. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Yes, we have Catmas Mice on our tree, and no, they have nothing to do with the library mice. 

We did ask, but they refused! MOL MOL


Last week, the epically epic Tabbies of Trout Towne asked:

Iz de PA gonna get de tardiz box stiker 😸😸😸‼️🤎🧡

Well, now there's a thing, especially since she actually installed that Tardis wall sticker and saw how good it was. She just needs to find a space! MOL

The sky above is mostly cloudy, adding a dramatic backdrop to the rooftop scene. The image is framed with a white border and includes the text "copyright www.bionicbasil.com" at the bottom

Fudge couldn't help himself the other day and had to get on the roof again!

Smooch, Pandora, Melvyn and Fudge


Smooch, Pandora, Melvyn, and Fudge are gathered indoors, viewed through a glass door from outside. Smooch, a white cat with black markings, sits directly in front of the door. Pandora, a fluffy dark-colored cat, stands slightly behind Smooch. Melvyn, a white cat with black patches, lies further back in the room. Fudge, an orange tabby, sits near the left side of the door. All four cats rest on a woven rug over light wooden flooring, gazing outward with curiosity. The image includes the text "copyright www.bionicbasil.com" at the bottom

Four sneaky cats are watching the wood being fetched in for the fire.  

They said, and I quote, "Fluff me, it's cold in here, any chance of getting it totally tropical?"

Yep, it got so tropical that we all moved into the catservatory where it was pawsitively Baltic! MOL

Melvyn's Taken Over The P.A.s New Office Chair


Melvyn, a tabby and white cat, is curled up asleep on a plush grey cushion atop a grey upholstered swivel chair. The chair sits in front of a desk with a pink mouse pad, white computer mouse, and a small potted plant. To the right, a fluffy pink cushion or blanket adds warmth to the space, while a colorful patchwork quilt is visible to the left. The room exudes a cozy, peaceful vibe with soft textures and pastel tones. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

The P.A. bought a new office chair, as her old one is supurr old, the gas lift no longer works, and it's literally on its last legs.

So this one arrived a couple of weeks ago, and after she built and put it in place, Melvyn decided that he really liked it, and now the P.A. is using her old chair again, as she can't wake him up when he's catnapping! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick


Melvyn's getting festive wearing the Candy Canes bandana, so here's BBHQ's furry own supurr meowdel in action.

Melvyn, a white and tabby cat, sits elegantly on a round cushion near a window, modelling a festive red bandana adorned with peppermint candies, holly leaves, and swirling designs. A small yellow tag featuring a black cat illustration hangs from the bandana. The cushion has a white base with dark floral patterns, and the background reveals a cozy indoor room with furniture and a view of a brick wall outside. The image exudes seasonal charm and feline poise. The bottom reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"


Fudge was on the catwalk again this week and even tried to beat Melvyn by taking a detour around the kitchen island! MOL

Perfect for fantasy cat storytelling, autumn pet content, and themed blog graphics from www.bionicbasil.com

Epic Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

The BBHQ weather has been damp, with a bitter wind chill during the day, and even colder in the evenings. I have to say, we're not loving it ... where's the sunshine and the warmth?

But we are supurr lucky it wasn't like this last week.

A night-time winter scene at BBHQ (Bionic Basil Headquarters), featuring a snow-covered garden with a pathway leading to a small illuminated summerhouse. The ground, plants, and trees are blanketed in fresh snow, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. A bright light above the door casts a warm glow, highlighting a large red decorative wheel mounted on the building’s side. Potted plants and neatly trimmed bushes line the path, adding charm to the well-maintained garden. The image includes the text "copyright www.bionicbasil.com" at the bottom

This was this time last year, yep, that white stuff can stay fluffed right off, we ARE NOT ready! MOL

Well, here's a thing!

A lifesize wall sticker designed to resemble the TARDIS from the British TV series "Doctor Who." Painted deep blue with paneling and windows, the top reads "POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX." Below the windows is a sign with detailed text about public use and emergency assistance. A circular emblem appears on the right panel, and the bottom includes the website "www.bionicbasil.com." The design evokes a nostalgic and imaginative tribute to the iconic time-traveling spacecraft

Who knew that mew could buy a life-size wall/door sticker of the Tardis?

It comes in two pieces, and it's really easy to apply - even on slightly textured walls like this one!!! MOL

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

A symmetrical autumn-themed post divider featuring pumpkins, orange and brown fall leaves, acorns, and central mushrooms. The seasonal design evokes cozy harvest vibes and is perfect for Thanksgiving graphics, fall blog decor, and festive pet-themed content from www.bionicbasil.com

First up in the news

Fudge's Wearing Melvyn's Bandana


An orange tabby cat named Fudge sits indoors on a textured beige carpet near a glass door. Fudge has a white chest and face and wears a light blue bandana decorated with colorful mushroom designs and a small yellow tag featuring a black cat illustration. To the left of Fudge is a large geode or crystal formation. Outside the glass door, a red blanket or rug is visible on the patio, with green bushes in the background. The image has a cozy, serene atmosphere and includes the watermark "copyright www.bionicbasil.com" at the bottom

Yep, Fudge sneaked one of Melvyn's bandanas on the other day. Melvyn is still grumpy about it. Fudge thought it was hilarious! MOL

Four For One 

Four cats—Fudge, Smooch, Parsley, and Melvyn—relax together on a woven herringbone-patterned rug laid across a wooden floor. Fudge, an orange tabby with a white chest, sits upright. Smooch, a black and white cat, lounges nearby. Parsley, a sleek black cat, lies comfortably, while Melvyn, a tabby and white cat, rests close to the others. The cozy indoor setting includes glimpses of surrounding furniture, capturing a peaceful moment of feline companionship. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Treat time at BBHQ is usually around 10.30pm, so a mini snack session before bed.

Amber and Pandora don't eat treats, don't ask why; they never have, but that means all the more for everpawdy else! MOL

Melvyn's Not Happy

Melvyn, a tabby and white cat, sits calmly on a woven rug in a warmly lit indoor space. His coat features a mix of white fur with black and gray tabby markings. Melvyn gazes to the right, alert and composed. The background includes wooden flooring, a white upholstered piece of furniture with nailhead trim, and other household items. The lighting highlights Melvyn and the rug, while the rest of the room remains softly shadowed. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Well, mew know why he's not happy, Fudge stole one of his bandanas, and a Catmas one he was preparing to wear at the beginning of December - oh fluff, siblings hey?!!! MOL

Today's Really Random Photo


Pandora Springing into Action March 2022

Pandora, a fluffy dark-colored cat, is captured mid-motion on a grassy lawn during a sunny day. Her front legs are extended forward and her tail is raised high, suggesting she’s pouncing or playing energetically. The background includes a well-maintained lawn, a flowerpot, and some plants in the upper right corner. The image conveys a lively and playful moment. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

This photo still cracks us up, and to this day, we have no idea what made Pandora spring upwards like that! MOL
