 Furbulous Floofy Greetings, Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday, and thank mew so much for stopping by. Pull up a chair, get comfortable, and let’s dive into what’s been happening at BBHQ over the last few days.

The Weather Report

Well, we did get the rain; it wasn't quite biblical, but the courtyard did get flooded to over ankle height. How do we know this? Because the P.A. had to go and shut the library door, and she waded through it while we all watched on from the catservatory! MOL 

It rained very heavily on and off, with several rather dazzling lightning storms, and a lot of thunder for a few days, but we did get a nice Bank Holiday Monday. 

Going forward, it remains unsettled, but so it goes; at least we aren't freezing or boiling, which is always a blessing! MOL

This Week's Flower Offering

Three daisy‑like flowers with bright yellow petals fading to soft pink near their deep purple centres bloom in a rustic wooden planter. Lush green foliage surrounds the blossoms, creating a vivid contrast of colour and texture. The wooden box has visible grain and metal accents, giving the scene a cosy, natural garden feel.

Delightful daisies at BBHQ

These have done so well in the little flower box under the gazebo. There are three in total: this one, a blue one, and a white one. They are so pretty, but this yellow one is our favourite!

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

First up in the news...

Melvyn's Catservatory Sun Puddle


Melvyn, a white cat with dark brown and black patches, lies stretched on his side in a sunlit patch on a striped rug. Soft morning light streams through a glass door behind him, casting gentle shadows across the floor. The scene feels peaceful and cosy as Melvyn relaxes in his favourite Catservatory sun puddle.

Melvyn found a lovely early morning sun puddle to bathe in... just look at that face; he's feeling so money supurrmarket right now! MOL

Next up in the news...

 Fudge's Flat Out


Fudge, an orange tabby cat, is curled up fast asleep on a soft light‑grey textured blanket draped over a dark couch. Behind him sit two cushions—one beige, one patterned in black and white. The scene is warm and peaceful, with the wooden floor and a woven rug adding to the snug, homey atmosphere as Fudge naps flat out.

Well, if mew can't go in the garden, then a snooze on the sofa is happening...

Philosophy according to Fudge! MOL

Finally this week...

Parsley's Checking Out The Clean Patio


Parsley, a black cat, stands on a sunlit tiled patio near pale wooden steps, leaning forward to sniff or inspect the ground. A small decorative lantern sits on the steps above him. The bright tiles and light wood contrast with Parsley’s dark fur, creating a simple, peaceful moment of curiosity as he checks out the freshly cleaned patio.

Parsley did an epic job of snoopervising a bit of patio cleaning... he said, and we quote, "Yep, good job!" MOL MOL

Today's Really Random Photo


This is the bunker's main purrsonnel lift or elevator; what could possibly go wrong?

Basil, a cat dressed in tactical gear and a red beret, stands inside a metallic futuristic elevator at BBHQ. The walls are lined with glowing panels displaying humorous system messages, including sarcastic remarks from the elevator’s AI about Basil travelling to Level 9. Floor indicators show the lift descending from Level 3, and a button panel invites him to “press paw to confirm.” The scene blends sci‑fi style with playful humour as Basil faces the chatty elevator on his way to another mission.

🛗 Essential Elevators

Getting around seventeen levels of BBHQ requires something a little more substantial than your average lift.

Enter Essential Elevators ~ a heavily reinforced, military-grade elevator big enough for ten fully armed cats, assorted equipment, and whatever questionable artefact somebody has decided to bring home this week.

It’s fast. It’s reliable. It’s virtually indestructible.

Its A.I. is also incredibly snarky.

Ask politely for Level Nine, and it may question your life choices before closing the doors. Press the wrong button and expect commentary. Press the emergency stop and… actually, just don’t.

There is one other tiny quirk.

Essential Elevators occasionally ignores the floor mew selected and takes mew somewhere else entirely.

Not because it’s broken.

Apparently, it simply knows better.

As Posie and Snowie discovered when they requested Level Eight and were cheerfully deposited on Level One instead, Essential Elevators really does live up to its unofficial motto:

“The only elevators to take mew where mew didn’t know mew wanted to go!”

So today I’m going to Level Nine.

At least, that’s where I’m hoping to end up.

Ping!

Oh fluff...

Yep... bunker life is unpredictable! MOL

The Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art Blog Hops at BBHQ **FEATURING** Supurr Smooch's Throwback Selfie ~ Way Back to 2017

 A bright, cheerful collage featuring four cats surrounded by colourful summer flowers including daisies, sunflowers, and lupines. The cats include an orange tabby, a black cat with a blue butterfly perched on its nose, a white cat with grey markings, and another white cat with darker markings. Above them hangs a decorative banner reading “Sunday Selfies ©BionicBasil®,” with bunting flags and string lights adding to the festive feel. Scattered around the scene are black‑and‑white Polaroid‑style snapshots of other cats, creating a playful, nostalgic atmosphere for BBHQ’s July Sunday Selfies.

An epic throwback selfie starring BBHQ's tripawed Supurr Hero, Smooch!

A vibrant summer garden scene filled with colourful wildflowers in shades of yellow, pink, purple, blue, and red. Butterflies in various colours flutter above the dense blooms, creating a lively, cheerful meadow atmosphere.

Meowvellous greetings, pawesome furiends

Welcome to BBHQ on this delightful Sunday!

We're so glad mew're here, seriously, as Smooch found this photo of himself from way, way, way back in 2017, and couldn't wait to share it with mew!!! MOL

Supurr Smooch's Throwback Selfie  


Smooch, a white cat with bold black markings and a proud tripawed stance, sits upright on a neatly cut green lawn. He wears a shiny teal‑and‑purple superhero cape that drapes over his back and catches the light. Behind him, autumn leaves scatter around a brick‑edged garden bed filled with plants, creating a colourful outdoor backdrop. Smooch looks calm and confident, giving this throwback selfie a playful, heroic vibe for the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop at BBHQ.

As mentioned in the Midweek News, we did have torrential rain; the courtyard was completely flooded, luckily it drained away pretty quickly.

At the P.A.'s and Cat Dad's work: Cat Dad got two big trash pumps out because he thought with the black clouds roiling and the storm forecast they were going to be toast, soggy toast, 4ft underwater toast, and he was prepared for the worst... but the Rain Gods spared them... Thank fluff for that.

Thank mew Rain Gods for showing mercy! 

Anyhoo, we'll be back in the morning as it's 

PARSLEY'S 14TH BIRTHDAY PAWTY

And we know mew won't want to miss that, as OH MY COD, mew'll never believe what's happening!!! MOL

Here's a quick teaser: it's big, it's black and hopefully Parsley-proof!!!

Seven cats sit together in a colourful garden filled with flowers, butterflies, and festive bunting. Behind them are scattered newspapers and a large banner that reads “Midweek News Round Up with the B Team.” One cat on the left has its mouth open as if shouting, next to a speech bubble that says “EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!” The scene is bright, playful, and lively, with each cat displaying different fur colours and patterns. The overall design feels cheerful and whimsical, like a fun feline news announcement.

Supurr Floofy Greetings Pawesome Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Happy Wednesday, and thank mew so much for dropping by. Pull up a chair, get comfortable, and let’s dive into what’s been happening at BBHQ over the last few days.

The Weather Report

OH MY COD!!!! Mew'll never believe it, but it's stayed cool, so much so that a discussion about making a fire or putting on the heating was had! MOL

It's been rather refreshing, to say the least, and we've had a little more rain too. Though we have a truly dreadful, Biblical forecast for later on tonight and into the small hours of Thursday, so we'll be on flood watch.

We'll let mew know what happens!

This Week's Flower Offering

A bright cluster of pink geraniums blooms in a garden pot, their petals marked with deeper pink and soft white streaks near the centres. Fresh green leaves and small buds surround the flowers, while pebbles and paving stones frame the pot, creating a vibrant and cheerful BBHQ garden moment.

Glorious Geraniums at BBHQ

Just look at that pink; it is divine, and in the centre it's as if the petals have been brushed with scarlet and white. These are utterly stunning in real life.

Mew know geraniums are one of our favourite summer flowers; they never disappoint, as long as you look after them! MOL

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

First up in the news this week

Parsley's Damp Stretch on The Sofa


Parsley, a sleek black cat, lies on his back on a dark sofa, paws curled and body relaxed in a long stretch. His fur looks slightly damp from being out in the rain, catching the light against the cushions behind him, including a plaid one and a speckled one, creating a cosy, contented BBHQ moment.

Parsley got a little damp in the garden, then decided to dry himself off on the sofa.

He said, and I quote:

"Dude, I was just stretching!" 

Yeah, of course mew were!!! MOL

Fudge's Checking Out The Catmint


Fudge, an orange tabby cat with a fluffy tail, stands on a sunny patio and leans toward a flowering catmint plant, sniffing its small purple blossoms. He’s positioned beside a brick planter filled with green foliage, creating a bright, natural BBHQ garden moment as he investigates the catmint with curious focus.

So Fudge was inspecting the catmint plant on the back patio, as the P.A. had given it a little trim the other day. He wasn't very happy... he's rather precious about the catmint plants.

After taste-testing several leaves, he declared.

"It's fine, I can deal with that!"

Smooch's Relaxing in The Garden 


Smooch, a tripawed white cat with black patches and a tripawed stance, lies stretched out along a wooden slatted garden bench on a sunny day. His body is fully relaxed, head resting sideways, surrounded by lush green foliage that frames this peaceful BBHQ garden moment.

Smooch was enjoying a little catnap on the rear deck as the late afternoon sun is really nice here.

He said, though, he was actually snoopervising the P.A. while she was cleaning up the raised beds at the side of the summer house.

Of course he was!!! MOL MOL

Today's Really Random Photo


 Basil in BBHQ Bunker with The P.A.

Inside a warm, steampunk‑styled BBHQ bunker workshop, The P.A. sits at a desk covered in sketches, pencils, and a detailed blueprint for a six‑wheeled vehicle labelled MOG1. In front of the desk, the small armoured MOG1 vehicle is parked, carrying Basil—dressed in military gear with a red beret—at the front as Wing Commander, with some kitten recruits seated behind him. Glowing monitors, signs, and mechanical details fill the background, creating a cosy, whimsical command‑centre atmosphere where Basil and The P.A. work side by side.

Oh, this did tickle me no end... the what-if picture...

The P.A. in the bunker, creating MOG1 for some kittens who just happened to need a home and found their way to BBHQ... no, there are no new kittens at BBHQ, just in case mew're wondering.

And of course I had to try the kitten-sized version of MOG1 ~ I think it really suits me! MOL
