Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Well, can mew believe we're a week away from the main event? The Catmas Trees still aren't decorated, they're up - mew will see in Melvyn's videos further down the post - but the Catmas Tree skirts the P.A. had, we're not cutting the mustard this year, so she ordered two new ones, and they only arrived on Monday evening. 

Hopefully by the time mew read this on Wednesday they will be decorated, well that's the plan. But in the meantime, here's a picture of a previous Catmas Tree from 2016.

It was so pretty, and I Basil, took great delight in climbing it, but that's another story! MOL

Let's look at this week's top stories...

Fudge is Up The Tree

 Smooch and Parsley Enjoying An Amble In The Courtyard


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch and Parsley Enjoying An Amble In The Courtyard

Smooch and Parsley we're bipping about the courtyard checking out what's been happening, as the other night a little tuxedo kitty was in the garden eating some of the crunchies that the P.A. leaves out to feed any passers-by who happen in the garden at BBHQ.

The little cat didn't have a collar on, so we are wondering if he or she has been dumped because all of the village cats wear collars except for one black one called Morty.

Anyhoo, we'll keep mew posted and the P.A. will keep leaving the food out, just in case.

If it is a stray or a dumpee, don't worry; we'll take care of the situation and make sure the kitty is well looked after.

EXTRA EXTRA!!!

Melvyn's Lord of The Pets Pawtrait

A few weeks ago, the pawesome peeps from Lord of The Pets contacted us, asking if we'd like a pawtrait in exchange for a review**. Well, how could we refuse an offer like that! 

The problem we had (not a problem really, see below! MOL) was which B Team memfur was getting his or her furry chops on said pawtrait, and then problem number two, which furbulous pawtrait theme to choose. As let me tell mew, they have the BEST selection ever, seriously EVER

Overcoming problem number one 

We put everypawdy's name in a hat, and Cat Dad picked the name, and Melvyn won! MOL

Overcoming problem number two, which theme to pick?

The themes available are, for want of a better phrase, just fluffing brilliant, and we had such a hard time choosing, but then BBHQ's resident Supurr Meowdel stepped up, he said, and I quote.

"Dude, I want a Game of Thrones vibe happening!"

Well, mew can't argue with that, so this is what we chose:


Just look at that EPICALLY EPICNESS!!!!

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Melvyn's Lord of The Pets Pawtrait

WOW!!!

It is AMEOWZING in real life. A top quality canvas, the printing is rich and has a real depth to it, and we think Melvyn is the purrfect GoT cat.

When we first unboxed it, Melvyn was right there, up close and purrsonal inspecting every detail, and he couldn't believe how pawesome it was! 

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Melvyn Checking Out His  Lord of The Pets Pawtrait

All we need now is a supurr frame for it, which the P.A. will source after Catmas and then put it up on the wall.

So if mew are looking for a pet pawtrait, go check Lord of The Pets, they ship to most places around the world, and we can tell mew this, it arrived so quickly, we didn't think we'd get it before Catmas and BOOM, it was here within a few days. So shipping is supurr speedy, the products are fantastically furbulous, and they sell other custom print items too, so if mew looking for a quirky custom gift, take a look at their Custom Pet Gift page.

Melvyn's pawtrait makes us smile so much; it's just a joy-inducing marvel for the eyes. The P.A. chuckles to herself every time she sees it, yep, it's that good. We're well tickled! MOL

We'd like to say very many thanks to the pawesome peeps at Lord of the Pets for bringing such joy to BBHQ this Catmas season, mew guys are epic!

**Disclosure ~ Even though we were given this item free of charge for a review, our review is completely honest and reflects our own experience with the product.

**THE BBHQ MIDWEEK NEWS ROUND-UP** Blanket Wars on The Windowsill, Smooch Enjoying a Sheltered Sunspot, Pandora's Plotting Retribution, and Melvyn's Modelling This Weeks Top Pick Bandana

The Midweek News Round Up Banner ©BionicBasil® Frost Garden Winter 24

Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Well, we had a rather blustery, gusty weekend and then a brief sunspot on Monday, with an overcast dull Tuesday. But at least it's not raining!

We have plans to put up a Catmas Tree this week, although the P.A. is so stretched for time right now, but as we said, it's ok we can help. Which she promptly declined. For the life us we can't imagine why she wouldn't want expert help from us when all those lovely, shiny, twinkly things are about! MOL

She said, and I quote, "Dudes, you have your own tree!"

See the evidence below.

Ah, indeed we do, and if mew'd like to see how the P.A. made it, we'll be sharing it on Monday. 

In the meantime, this tree will be getting a lot of attention, as demonstrated by Fudge the Heathen! MOL

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's news.

 Blanket Wars on The Windowsill


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Blanket Wars on The Windowsill

This is Parsley's afternoon catnapping spot, and there he was, just enjoying a lovely snooze when Fudge appeared and crammed his floof between Parsley and the plant.

As mew can see, Parsley was not giving up any ground at all, even though it completely ruined his zen vibes! 

This is so typical of Fudge! MOL

Smooch Enjoying a Sheltered Sunspot


The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ©BionicBasil® Smooch Enjoying a Sheltered Sunspot

We had a couple hours of weak sunshine on Monday, and Smooch got in the courtyard and found this sheltered sunspot, which he took full advantage of, as Vitamin D is supurr furry impawtant! MOL

Anyhoo, she is plotting retribution. 

However, she told me exclusively that she's going to wait a while, as it will be all the more fun and satisfying when those involved least expect it! OH DEAR!!! MOL

Finally this week

Pandora's Summer Selfie on The Sunday Selfies Blog Hop and Caturday Art Blog Hop

The B Team Sunday Selfies ©BionicBasil ®October 2023 Banner

Furbulous Sunday greetings furiends

Welcome to another BBHQ selfie selection.

 This week, as it's been so cold, snowy and frosty with lashings of ice just for good measure, Pandora thought it was a good idea to reflect back on warmer times! MOL

Pandora's Summer Selfie


Pandora's Summer Selfie ©BionicBasil® Sunday Selfies Blog Hop - Pandora the torti cat enjying the british summertime in the garden

This was taken on the 1st of June, under the gazebo at BBHQ. Oh, how we miss the summer! MOL

Mew know, we're not fond of the cold in any capacity, and wish that winter would just fluff right off permanently!

What would be better than a nice bit of Spring, a meautiful Summer, and a slow drift into Autumn/Fall, and then back to Spring? Purrfection at its finest. And if we were in charge of that weather machine, that's exactly how it would be! MOL

VOTE FOR BASIL AND THE B TEAM!

The effect was created with Befunky - AI Enhancer, Realist GFX + a vignette to add a little drama and contrast.

We also turned this fab arty-farty picture into a puzzle, so do stop by the puzzle page and take the Puzzle Challenge, see if mew can beat our time of 6 mins 46 secs. 


We're off to go get snuggled by the fire in the sitting room, as it's still quite chilly. Smooch is in charge of lunch, and today we're having roast chicken, so everypawdy is supurr pleased about that! MOL

Do join us again tomorrow when we're back with another Colouring with Cats post, as we know mew love getting your Zen Harmonies happening on a Monday!

We do hope mew have an epic day, and remember to always...
