Welcome to The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up: Smooch Tests The Santa Paws Sled, Melvyn Wants The Christmas Tree Putting Up and Is Fudge Planning a Trip in The Time Travelling Telephone Box?

Epic Wednesday Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Sorry we don't have a hedgehog update or any haunted happenings for mew today, the monitors going on the fritz put paid to a lengthy post and set us back a little bit.

But never fear we have oodles of other news and first up is; Smooch Tests The Santa Paws Sled.

Are mew ready for a sneak peek of this years Christmas Crafting with Cats special? Of course mew are! MOL

This year we decided to make an epically epic Santa Paws Sled, and the P.A. has made a series of videos so mew can see in almost real-time exactly how she made it.

We were planning on sharing the post tomorrow, but as we said earlier, the monitors breaking down has pretty much ruined our blogging schedule this week, so we're planning on posting it on Caturday, which still leaves mew plenty of time to make one if mew want to.

Next up in the news, Melvyn wants to know if we can put the Christmas tree up.

He did ask ever so nicely, check out his little video on Tiktok.

But the P.A. doesn't believe a word of it! MOL

And we're going to share the last four years of BBHQ Christmas trees.

 2020 Tree - Gold and white.

2019 Tree - Red and White

2018 Tree - Pink and white with a dash of gold.

2017 Tree - Pink and white with splash silver and gold

Melvyn so wants to get his murder mittens on all those shiny things! 

This year we bought some new baubles in pastel tones, maybe we'll use them but we never know until the tree is put up and then the executive decision will be made. 

What colour do mew think we should decorate with this time?

and

What colours are mew decorating with this year?

And finally, Is Fudge Planning a Trip in The Time Travelling Telephone Box?

Fudge was caught lurking near the telephone box the other day, do mew think he's planning a trip?

He looked mightily suspicious, and mew know we haven't been on a propurr escapade since The Clockwurk Labyrinth in 2018. Do mew think it's time for another epically epic adventure?

Let us know in the comments if mew want The Mogwarts Cats, or The Saville Row Caper next?

That's us done for today, Amber will be back on Friday with another fab book just for mew, and click the link if mew missed Monday's Colouring with Cats post and our fab crystal series.

Welcome to Our Mid-Week News Round-Up and Hot Gossip on The Pet Parade & Today's Headlines are ~ Happy Thanksgiving, The Woodland Furiends Snuggle Mat Set and Why Is Fudge Calling Catline?

Epic Wednesday Greetings Furriends

Welcome to the Pet Parade and our weekly news round up!

Furst up in the headlines this week is...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

And for those celebrating here in the U.K. there's always plenty of turkey to go around at BBHQ, but be quick because young Melvyn and Parsley are both on bulking sessions right now! MOL

Wherever mew are, and howeffur mew celebrate, we really hope mew all have a pawesomely supurr day tomorrow!

Next up this week, The Woodland Furiends Snuggle Mat, Catnip Kicker and Catnip Cushion Set will be winging their way across the pond to a lovely new home later this week, and we thought what a delightful set to share for Thanksgiving.

As it's been shipped to the USA we've used catnip spray instead of using our homegrown dried catnip in the kicker and cushion as the last thing we want is for it to get stuck in customs and confiscated, and the kitty who it's destined for to be cheated out of it on a technicality.

And to be honest, we can't find out whether or not mew can ship dried catnip to the USA anywhere, so we're erring on the side of caution, and going the no dried catnip route! 



What to mew think to the fabric, isn't it absolutely adorable?



Finally this week, Fudge was caught on our BBHQ CCTV sneaking out to the TTTB aka Time Travelling Telephone Box early one morning to make a call.  And yes, the TTTB is still a fully functional call box, so anyhoo apparently he made a call to Catline.

For those of mew who don't know what Catline is; it's a dedicated call centre where cats can ring 24/7 and voice their grievances regarding purrsonally purrceived injustices (P.P.I.'s) with the hope of 3rd pawty intervention to help resolve said grievances, and speed up the process when in-home talks and negotiations are no longer viable or wurking.



Fudge must have forgotten about the auto-voice-recorder on all the phones at BBHQ as we managed to get a complete transcript of the call.

"This is Catline, how may I help mew today?" asked the Catline Opurrator.

"Er yes, this Fudge at BBHQ and I've got a massive purroblem!" 

"Oh dear, can mew give me the details?"

"Yes, I'm being deprived of my usual all-access, 24/7 dried food buffet and this abhorrent and heinous deprivation has been going on for the last 2 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, 32 mins and 15 seconds!" Fudge replied.

"Ahhhh, I think mew have a solid case let me transfer mew to the D.F.D.D. or Dried Food Deprivation Department," the Opurrator said politely. "One moment sir, while I put mew on hold and transfer your call."

"Thank mew," Fudge said, hearing a distinct click and then some rather relaxing mewsic. A few moments later, a recorded messaged said. "Purrleaase stay on the line, your call is furry impawtant to us, although mew have called at our peak time and are held in a queue." The mewsic kicked in again. 

Five minutes later, another recorded message said, "We're sorry to inform mew all of our opurrators are now on their regulated catnap breaks and won't be back for at least an hour, purrlease stay on the line to keep your place in the queue and we'll answer your call as soon as we wake up, thank mew for your patience."

Guys, we'll have to continue the transcript next week, as he was still on hold 4 and a half hours later, OH DEAR!

Who loves fresh laundry?

Do mew like fresh laundry too, especially when something comes out of the dryer, and it's so warm and tempting? 

Melvyn is sitting on some warm towels, lucky him! MOL
