Welcome to

What's In The Box on In The Spotlight @BionicBasil®

Wunderpurr greetings fabulous furriends

Today we're sharing one of our *sponsored posts with mew from the fabulous peeps at

www.zacal.co.uk

We were going to share this on Caturday, but as it we were hosting a trifecta birthday pawty we felt it wouldn't get as many views so we're sharing it today instead.



So let's show mew what's in the box:

Young Melvyn was on paw to inspect effurything...

The Blue Single Grooming Glove was a hit with Parsley, Young Melvyn and even Amber enjoyed it. Mew can see how effective it was too!



Our closing thoughts:

Zacal offer an epically epic range of cat collars, kitten collars, cat harnesses, plus a lovely range of cat accessories including: ID Tags, bells and charms, collar accessories and grooming items.

We were supurr impressed with how many types of collars they have fur sale, and we thought the really posh bow tie and flower collars were incredible value.

We know where we will be getting our future collars from; and Pandora our resident Feline Fashionista has already made a list! MOL

The safety clasp wurks just fine, the quality of the materials used is lovely and the bell has just the right amount of 'tinkle!'

The grooming glove was great as furstly; not to big and secondly very soft which Parsley said was like have a purrfessional massage. He is the BBHQ Brush Connoisseur, so if Parsley says it was pawesome, it was pawesome. 

Though young Melvyn did muscle his way in and insist on having a session too! 

We think the products that Zacal have to offer are delightful, extremely well priced, lovely quality and we'll definitely be using them in the future.

10/10 fur Zacal 


We would like to say a special thanks to the pawesome peeps at Zacal fur giving us the oppurtunity to try out their gorgeous collars and bonus grooming glove ~ THANK MEW FURRY MUCH!

WHAT'S IN THE BOX? on In The Spotlight ~ featuring The Yaheetech Cat Tree Tower Review ~ 2019

Welcome to

What's In The Box on In The Spotlight @BionicBasil®

Wunderpurr greetings fabulous furriends

Today we're sharing one of our *sponsored posts with mew from the fabulous peeps at...


...who contacted us a few weeks ago to see if we'd like to review one of their amazing cat trees, well how could we say no to that as we feel that mew can neffur have enough cat trees and towers around the home.



Let's show mew what was in the box:

Fudge was furst on the scene to check out the latest delivery to BBHQ.
 What's in The Box Product Review @BionicBasil® Yaheetech Cat Tree Tower Review in 2019

We opened the box to discover all this fabulousness...

Building The Cat Tree: 

Now we're not strangers to building large cat trees/towers/scratching posts, so with all this previous knowledge we were keen to see how quick the build time was fur this one.

Dad got the drill and a few tools from the shed and under the watchful eye of young Melvyn, the build commenced.
What's in The Box Product Review @BionicBasil® Yaheetech Cat Tree Tower Review in 2019 - Building The Cat Tree
"Yes Melvyn, it's definitely the right one," Dad replied. "I checked the super easy step by step instructions before construction!"

"Oh that's alright then," Melvyn answered and continued to watch the tower grow.
What's in The Box Product Review @BionicBasil® Yaheetech Cat Tree Tower Review in 2019 - Building The Cat Tree 1
It took less than an hour from opening the box and sorting the contents to the finished cat tree in the picture above.

If mew joined us on Monday fur What's Melvyn Doing? mew'll now know he was testing out the new tower and was sat on top of the top condo! MOL

Anyhoo we digress, so this was actually the fastest build we've ever done fur the size and Dad said, "Why couldn't the other towers we've got have been that easy to build!?!"

We had no answer fur that!

We moved the new cat tower into it's final position in the lounge.
What's in The Box Product Review @BionicBasil® Yaheetech Cat Tree Tower Review in 2019 - Testing The Cat Tree
It does come with a spring loaded, fabric covered top post to secure it firmly to the ceiling but as our ceilings are a little lower, Dad put the final sisal post on top of the penthouse condo and then secured it with hooks and cable ties to our ceiling beams, making it very stable and safe.



Our closing thoughts:

This is a lovely cat tower: it has two condos, two nests which means there's always space fur one, two, three or even four of us to snooze in complete comfort and we think it is a really great and stylish addition to BBHQ.  The fabric is plush and very soft, the overall footprint is not that big so while it's tall it doesn't overpower the room in the slightest.  

As it's quite leap up to the middle level, this isn't ideal fur our matriarch Amber as she has a touch of arthritis, although we have solved the problem by placing a small table to the side which she can traverse from the sofa arm and get to the platform with ease. Getting into the low condo is no issue fur her and she's already decided that's her new spot.

Melvyn loves the nests, and Fudge is getting used to the new penthouse condo which he is sharing with Pandora.

So the question is:

Would we recommend this cat tree tower to mew our fab readers? yes we would, we think it's excellent value, and it was very easy to build which is always a huge plus in our book.

We give the Yaheetech Cat Tree Tower top marks all round.

Design: 10/10

Quality: 10/10

Instruction manual; 10/10 very easy to follow

Ease of construction:  10/10

Value fur money: extremely good value

What more is there to say; a great product, delivered direct to your door and guaranteed to please the fussiest of cats!


We would like to say a special thanks to the pawesome peeps at Yaheetech fur giving us the oppurtunity to try out one of their amazing cat tree towers  ~ THANK MEW FURRY MUCH!

Many thanks fur joining us today and tomorrow we will be blog hopping around the wurld on the Sunday Selfies, so do join us if mew get chance.

**New Post** Getting All Arty-Farty with The Artful Fudger featuring Fab Posters from Newton's Cats

Welcome To


Pawesome Greetings Dudes and Dudettes

Fudge here, or purrhaps I should use my new fandango title recently bestowed upon my little self which is; The Artful Fudger, and as mew can see I take my new role furry seriously, in fact so seriously I took a trip to one of the wurlds top museums just the other day to immerse myself in the whole arty-farty vibe and soak up all that cultural essence.

I even took my easel, a couple of blank canvasses, my paint box and a few other things to really get into the art wurld with vigour and gusto. I'd just got effurything set up in the Old Masters Room, my brush was loaded with paint and I was just in the throws of creating an old master all of my own...

and at this point I'd hardly made any mess at all in the museum, there were only a couple of paint splatters on the marble floor, and a bit of nip jam which fell out of my sandwich but still, all really easy to clean up!

...when I was brutally accosted** by some rather irate security guards and formally removed from the premises forthwith and my artist materials thrown out aftur me, funnily enough I didn't get my lunch back - seriously I have no idea what their boggle was but I think they should write to Parsley post haste, it wurked fur me! 

[**don't wurry, I went back under cover of darkness and gave those self-righteous security guards something to really get their boggles bugged - Ginger Ninja 392 vs Security Guards 0, Nil Point, Zip, Nada or Nothing Mew LOSERS! Muwahahahahahhaaaaaaaa!**  Oh and some of the Old Masters had a little touch-up too - OOPS!  ROFLMAO]


Pandora was going to take the lead on this sponsored* post on her Fashion with Felines, until Basil said completely out of the blue, "Fudge dude, I have a mission should mew choose to accept it, are mew up fur the challenge?"

I must say he was trying so hard not to laugh as he said that, which I thought was rather odd but anyhoo I replied. "Commander Basil I'll accept any mission mew give me!"

"Good job, now mew're going to be our new Cultural Attache and your new title is, The Artful Fudger, so go get 'em recruit and share all that arty-farty vibe!"

Cor blimey, mew could have knocked me offur with my furry own tail, dipped me in treacle and rolled me in catnip I wouldn't have been any more surprised!

But can mew believe that Basil actually gave me my furry own post, so I'm now The Cultural Attache fur BB HQ, how EPIC is that? Epically so fur sure! 

So let's get our culture on and happening, and see what I've got to show mew today.


A couple of weeks ago we received an email from...

... who asked if we'd like to review their kitty themed posters, "Of course we would!" we replied, and so let's dive in and see this weeks supurr fun and whimsically adorable masterpieces, which are based on the artists furry own gorgeous felines.

AUTUMN CAT - A3SPRING CAT - A3
SUMMER CAT - A3WINTER CAT - A3
images ©Newton's Cats

From top left clockwise:

Autumn Cat ~ Spring Cat ~ Summer Cat ~ Winter Cat

Each poster is printed on 'just off-white' 300gsm paper, with a 1cm border round the edge.
Size is A3 - 297mm x 420mm or 11.7 inches x 16.5 inches and will fit a standard A3 frame.
Aren't they just fabulous and here's me doing my furry furst arty-farty appraisal...
Now I don't know if mew have effur done any art appraisals before, but I did a little research on Mewgle and the subject is as broad as it is long, and aftur 3 minutes and 13 seconds of speed reading I promptly fell asleep! MOL [speed reading is really hard wurk].  

Anyhoo, Mewgle didn't really give me answer I was looking fur so in true Fudge style, I decided to listen to my highly honed and supurr sprightly instincts and just go with it...

Furst I gave them the paw inspection, I then lightly nibbled a few edges. I rolled on them all [the P.A. had a bit of a conniption at this point - "Paws, fangs and fur!" she exclaimed in horror]. I tried rolling on them all at once and then individually to see if there was a difference to feel and texture - No there wasn't. I soaked up all the arty-farty essence via osmosis and let me tell mew, it was epic fun! 

The colours are vividly striking and just pop off the page in real life, the quality of the paper is fantastic and framed I just know that they will look marvellous. The design and style is such fun, and I love the comical and happy vibe they have.

Can mew guess why the Spring Kitty is my favourite?  because he has a ginormous floof tail of course! MOL  

Amber's obvious favourite was the Summer Kitty.

Pandora loved the Autumn Kitty.

and

Parsley's top pick was the Winter Kitty.

They are all gorgeous, alone or in the complete set of four, and if mew're looking fur some fun, colourful art fur your home these are purrfect!

Now the P.A. didn't get chance to buy any frames before I did the post but as soon as they're framed - she's got a specific white frame in mind fur them - I'll do a little follow up to show mew how they look in the library, as Amber says they're hers now. [And we all know what Amber wants, Amber gets - remember the tank incident - oops did I say that aloud?!!!]

I would like to say a special thank mew to the pawesome peeps and cats from Newton's Cats fur giving me the oppurtunity to review their epically epic posters ~ THANK MEW FURRY MUCH!

Don't furget to follow Newton's Cats on the interwebs and Social Media here:



And furry quickly before I go, I'm also joining gorgeous Athena on the...  

caturday art

...but fur cod's sake don't tell Parsley or he'll be writing himself a memo to complain! MOL 

This picture was made with: Prisma - The effect used was: Coloured Sky



Don't furget to stop by fur our regular Sunday Selfies post tomorrow and many thanks fur joining me fur my furry furst post, I do hope Basil let's me do another one soon!

We love that Hey Diddle Diddle only use top quality ingredients, hooman -grade, mew can find out more here on their FAQ page.

Mew know that we only like top quality nosh which is free from all additives and other things here, and Hey Diddle Diddle tick all the boxes fur a top, primo food but without the primo price.  One box of 12 pouches is £4.00, when you put that next to other mainstream cat food pouches, it's the same price but fur top quality and top nutrition, and what kitty doesn't want that?!

We really enjoyed all the different flavours and will definitely be putting an order in for more.

We're giving Hey Diddle Diddle Cat Food:

10/10 fur presentation
