Pawesome Wednesday Greetings Furriends

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

Our headline this week will purrlease all mew greatly, as on Monday it was

National Napping Day

Like OH MY COD how epic is that? EPICALLY EPIC as we don't know about mew, but we're all gold medal winners in the napping department and will make sure this week that we have a few extra naps ahead of our main snooze! 

So if mew missed it, don't wurry, we've decided to make it National Napping Week! MOL MOL

Melvyn's getting ready to get some extra ZZZZ's in his fav snooze spot on the landing.

He said and I quote, "Get that camera outta my face, I need to get my beauty sleep!"

And if mew're wundering, those little pillows are filled with catnip, mmmmmmm sweet dreams! MOL

In other news...

Mew guys know we don't talk politics, current affairs or the like here but we feel it necessary to impart this info we've just had.

We've just had intel that a family who live a few miles away from us in a busy little market town have tested positive for Covid-19.  They have recently returned from skiing in Northern Italy and did not self-quarantine upon their return - oh dear!

We've also heard that some of the local residents are quite angry as the family have been carrying on as normal for the past couple of weeks, therefore it's quite possible a huge outbreak will be imminent in the coming days near us.

Yesterday some local shops were stripped bare; they were picked cleaner than a vultures convention in the Serengeti, the only thing left - bare bones!

We have noticed on our necessary recon trips out into the real world in the last couple of weeks that madness is prevailing through fear; there's a lot of panic arising from 'POSSIBLE' food shortages due to disruption in the supply chain being spread about which isn't helping anyone.

Toilet paper and hand wash/sanitizer are also rarer than gold on the streets right now, so we don't know how this thing is going to go over the coming weeks/months.  For years it's been said that 'we' as a society are just 9 meals away from anarchy, and after seeing that Italy has just been completely shut down we may see some truth in that statement.

So we're just sitting tight at BBHQ and we'll update more on this situation as and when we have new intel from our small district.

Stay safe all, and let's keep calm and weather this brewing storm.

Finally this week...

 We're just getting ready to start sowing this year's veg crop, but more impawtantly the catnip crop, as last year when the P.A. was out of action for all those months our catnip was severely abused by the night-crawler kitty crowd invading our garden.  The poor catnip was destroyed aftur one wild pawty and it neffur recovered properly.

So we're really looking forward to a brand new batch in the coming months.

This week we're also planting:  Tomato's, broccoli, leeks, carrots, cauliflower, beans, and a couple of other things.  We're getting the seeds going on a sunny windowsill and will be staggering planting so we have a constant supply.

Are mew growing anything this year and if so, what's your top planting tip?

Amber will be here on Friday with another specially paw-picked book just fur mew, so do stop by if mew get chance, as mew know she loves your company in the library!

Until then...

Keep calm and purr on

No Right Click, Bow Tie Wars & Spring Watch with Pandora on The Pet Parade 294 with Dash Kitten, Barking from the Bayou and US!

Pawesome Wednesday Greetings Furriends

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

On last weeks Pet Parade mew may remember that we said we'd put a code on the blog to disable right clicking as our content is being repeatedly stolen.  We knew that this may create a few issues with mew, our pawesome readers, and one issue is mew can't copy and paste into the link-up box to join in the Pet Parade - whilst we understand that this is an inconvenience to mew guys and we do apologise most sincerely, though if mew need to copy and paste your links rather than type them, Melissa's blog - Barking from the Bayou still has the right click functionality as I've just checked, so mew can pop there to join in, and I just checked Marjorie's blog - Dash Kitten and she has also disabled right clicking there too due repeated content theft.  Jeez, having a blog these days is getting such hard wurk and so complicated!

Anyhoo, in other news Bow Tie Wars are still apaw with Fudge still hogging this purrticular one, even though the P.A. has made a couple more since...

Fudge in Sauce's Bow Tie @BionicBasil® The Pet Parade

He's such a little tease! MOL

Collar Couture Bow Ties @BionicBasil® The Pet Parade

Actually nopurrdy has got their mittens on the middle bow tie yet, so we'll have to see who gets it as Smooch got the top one as seen on last weeks Pet Parade [link above]. We're expecting a showing on next weeks Colouring with Cats, so stay tuned fur that, and who do mew think will get to model it? MOL

Finally today Miss Pandora has been out and about in the garden on Spring Watch and it's a good job she has.

Miss Pandora enjoying spring watch @BionicBasil® The Pet Parade

Just a few days ago the P.A. went to fill up one of the watering cans where Pandora was sitting and found the spout was blocked, it turned out that a frog had got himself stuck in the spout, aftur some wrangling and the spout being removed we got the little froggy out and put him in the pond, he was mightily relieved and sat on the rocks in the shallow part for an hour or so - we kept checking on him, just to make sure he was ok.

And also last week while the P.A. and dad we're out walking, they go later at night, they saved two other froggy's that were in the middle of road, luckily they saw them in the dark as some complete idiots came down the narrow little lane a couple of minutes later like they were on a race track - seriously what the fluff is wrong with peeps driving like that on single track, pitch black country lanes??? So the good news news is the two froggy's got saved, and the bad news those stupid peeps are still driving like morons.



I'll be here tomorrow with my regular Brain Training with Cats so do stop by to join me if mew get chance, and lets keep your little grey cells in tip-top condition! 

Until then...

Bestest purrs

Smooch is Sad, Fudge Says FLUFF THEM, I Agree, and C.J. Catkins Memorial Tree on The Pet Parade 293 with Dash Kitten, Barking from the Bayou and US!

Pawesome Wednesday Greetings Furriends

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

If mew were here on Monday mew may remember we mentioned that another website was stealing our content again along with a lot of our fab blogging pals.  So we've implemented a NO RIGHT CLICK policy here now - Thank mew furry much to The Tabbies of Trout Towne fur sharing this with us - mew guys are epic!
Sad Smooch @BionicBasil® The Pet Parade
We were going to wait until the winter programming schedule had finished before we added it but aftur this last lot of scumbags stole a pile of posts, we really didn't have a lot of choice.
Fluff Those Scumbag Fluffers said Fudge @BionicBasil® The Pet Parade
And while this saves our content from being plagiarized it makes it harder fur us to share our puzzle and mandalas with mew, hence the reason fur wanting to wait.  But anyhoo, needs must, so now instead of right clicking to save and then print, we've added Mondays Mandala to our Google Drive and mew can download/print directly from there, and the puzzles will be the same on the next Brain Training with Cats, though if mew do have any issues with this new download system, purrlease let us know and we'll try to solve it.
YEAH Don' be sad Smooch fluff those scumbag fluffers said Wing Commander Basil @BionicBasil® The Pet Parade
All previous mandalas on Colouring with Cats and wurd-search/crosswurds/sudoku puzzles on Brain Training posts are obviously now unavailable, so it goes and mew can thank the fluffing scumbag fluffers, as Fudge so succinctly put it! 

Now moving on to other news, fur those of mew who follow us on InstaCat mew may have seen that we lost C.J. Catkins Memorial Tree in Storm Gareth a couple of weeks ago. This made us so sad, it was Catkins 19th Anniversary on Jan 27th this year since he departed fur the RB, and in all honesty without Catkin adopting the P.A. way back in 1997 there would have never been a B Team or any of this, so he started this entire legacy over 20 years and to lose his tree, which was a catkin tree was so upsetting.
C J Catkins Memorial Tree @BionicBasil® The Pet Parade
Dad has now cut the tree down as it snapped at the root with no chance of resurrection, as we've done in previous years.  So we're planning a new memorial garden, which we'll share on future Gardening with Cats posts when we start our summer programming schedule.


If mew missed anything offur the last week, here's the latest posts fur your purrusal:

I won't be here tomorrow with my regular Brain Training with Cats as instead we've been teasing mew fur a few weeks now about Melvyns 8 Things About post so that will be live in the morning so do stop by to join us if mew get chance, and mew can find out all about our youngest B Team memfur! 

Until then...
