**Alt Text:**   A colourful collage shows ten cats lined up in a row, each with different fur patterns and expressions. Behind them is a decorative backdrop of pink cherry blossoms, pastel bunting, and newspaper‑style graphics. Bold text in the centre reads “Midweek News Round Up with The B Team @BionicBasil.” In the top right, a cat with its mouth open appears to shout, with a speech bubble saying “EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!” The bottom edge is framed with pink and white flowers.

 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday!

Let's do the weather report ... we've had some sunny spells, but sadly, this time of year, those soon gave way to overcast greyness. Though the rain has stayed away, we've only had a tiny bit of drizzle instead of a full-on monsoon.

This has been most beneficial, as the P.A. can now see the craters in the local roads; they're not covered in water anymore! MOL

Yes, we have a monstrous pothole problem in the area right now, so much so that the P.A. actually asked if she could use the tank on rubber tracks that's in the bunker.

I had to respectfully decline, as she doesn't hold the appropriate license. Sadly, I can't repeat her response to that! MOL

Moving on, here are some really pretty flowers!

A vibrant cluster of spring primroses in shades of white, pink, bright pink, and purple blooms among lush green leaves in the garden at BBHQ. The flowers sit against a natural backdrop of soil and fallen leaves, creating a cheerful burst of early‑spring colour.

On the Sunday Selfies post, remember the catnip plant by the back door?

So, before we dive into this week's news, we just have to answer this query from Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs, because it was a very valid and well-pointed out.

That was mean of the PA to not hand over the trimmed catnip so you could have at least indulged in it

It was heinously mean in the context of the post, but let me explain ... it was a tiny plant about sixteen inches in height, on about three straggly stems, which had miraculously survived the winter. After Parsley discovered it, there was very little left; yes, he massacred it, shredded with his pantherene claws. 

So the P.A. cut it back before it was literally ripped out of the pot, and then there'd be none for this summer.

It was a small sacrifice for the greater good! MOL

Very well pointed out, and thank mew Meezer's, we love it that mew have our six on the catnip front, totally top paw!!!! 🐾🐾

First up in the news this week...

Parsley's Sunspot


Parsley, a sleek black cat, is stretched out on a light cushioned seat, fast asleep in a warm sunspot. His crescent‑moon collar charm rests against his fur as the sunlight highlights his glossy coat. The scene feels peaceful and content, capturing Parsley enjoying a perfect moment of sunshine.

Parsley took full advantage of an early morning sunspot. He loved it!

Next up in the news...

Pandora Posing on The Millwheel


Pandora, a long‑haired brindle-torti cat with warm brown highlights, stands on a stone millwheel outdoors, looking directly at the camera with a poised, confident expression. Sunlight catches the texture of her fur, and behind her are shrubs, bare branches, and a bright yellow spring flower under a clear blue sky. The scene feels calm and majestic, as though Pandora is surveying her garden kingdom.

In another sunny moment, Pandora was kind enough to let us take this picture! MOL

In other news...

Fudge Enjoying A Spot of Heat Therapy


Fudge, a relaxed ginger cat, is stretched out on a textured rug in front of a glowing wood‑burning stove, his paws neatly crossed as he soaks up the warmth. The soft firelight highlights his fur while fireplace tools stand nearby, creating a snug, peaceful scene of pure heat‑therapy bliss.

Meanwhile, Fudge took the opportunity to optimise his heat therapy session while the others were outside!

He said, and I quote, "All the more warms for me!" MOL

And finally, this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

This time, Melvyn is modelling Spring Vibes, and he's absolutely loving it! 

This one was a landslide in the voting, well done everypawdy!!!

Melvyn, a tabby cat with brown, black, and white markings, stands on a wooden sideboard wearing a bright purple floral “Spring Vibes” bandana. His eyes are closed in a relaxed, contented expression, as though he’s fully embracing the moment. Behind him is a cosy, stylish room with warm lighting, framed artwork, plants, and a lamp, giving the scene a calm, homey feel.

He's feeling so fluffing epic; it's not measurable by any instrument on Earth! 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 March Bandana Selection, and as we're headed full steam into Spring, we chose some colourful and bright bandanas for this month. Plus, it's St Paddy's Day, too, and how could we not have one for that epic day! 

It's St. Paddy's next Tuesday, so we know which one should be next!!! MOL

Anyhoo, it's time for us to go and do oodles of stuff around BBHQ. Yesterday the sun was shining, so after the P.A. had finished all her office work, we went into the garden and snoopervised rose pruning, and various other winter jobs.
    
The new oven is still not here. Smooch is sulking, but we told him to just imagine how epic it will be when it finally arrives! MOL 

Do drop by tomorrow when Pandora will be here with your Meow'o'scope for February, so come check out what the stars say.

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Smooch Got A Tick, Parsley's On Pawtrol and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana **PLUS* This Weeks Top Videos

The B Team's Midweek News ©BionicBasil® September  23

 Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

It's been rather rainy the last few days at BBHQ, and overnight there must have been a bit of a deluge as the Mewton-Clawson Main Street was flooded. A few years ago the council spent months and months digging up the main street to counteract this issue by adding new bigger pipes and the like. And it must have cost a small fortune, yet here we are, and some parts of the main street need waders to cross. So that was a waste of time and resources, but so it goes, at least they tried.

Anyhoo, last week we mentioned that the swallows were still here and that we still hadn't cropped the catnip. We think the swallows have now departed, as we haven't seen them since Sunday, but we'll wait a few more days, just in case they are still bipping about.

And we'd like to show mew the BBHQ 8G interwebs connection! MOL

Seriously though, aren't spiderwebs so meautiful, and even more so when sparkling with raindrops. (Sorry, the picture isn't great, it was quite windy so the focus is out).

And just before we dive into this week's top news, take a look at this dahlia, the colour is just exquisite; a shade of violet-mauve. In fact, I don't think we've ever seen this shade of dahlia before, it was a new one for BBHQ this year.

Isn't it furbulous?

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® The BBHQ Violet Mauve Dahlia

Hopefully, weather permitting, we'll be doing a spot of deadheading this week, as the rain has ruined almost all the flowers now.

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

September Divider ©BionicBasil®

First up in the news this week

 Smooch Got A Tick


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch Got A Tick

The P.A. noticed that Smooch was walking strangely on his back leg on Friday night, though she couldn't see anything that could be visibly causing it, and then Cat Dad noticed it on Sunday.

Some filthy, little bloodsucking tick was in his fur on the back leg. It had been really gorging itself and had grown that much that it was now visible among the fur. YUCK!   

Luckily, we have a tick-removing tool, so the P.A. got Smooch upside down, while Cat Dad twisted that bloodsucking fiend off him. Though poor Smooch did cry out as it was removed. And then that bloodsucker was despatched by fire into the netherworld. 

Anyhoo, they cleaned and disinfected the area and are now bathing it daily to make sure there's no infection at the wound site.

And yes, we are aware of Lymes disease and other complications, so will be extra vigilant in the coming days.

He's a panfur on a one-cat mission, don't mess with The Sauce! MOL
