Mancat Monday at BBHQ ~ Wing Commander Basil's Favourite Part Of The Garden in 2009 **AND DID MEW KNOW THIS?**

Happy Monday Furry Furiends

It's Mancat Monday, and mew know what that means... it's a mancat zone! MOL  

Today I am here sharing all my uber manlycatness, as I don't think I've featured on MCM for years! 

So we're travelling back to the most epically epic year of 2009 when I was in my uber chonk'a'licious era! MOL

Just look at me in my prime, even I can't catch my breath!!!! MOL

MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE GARDEN IN 2009

At BBHQ in the Spring of 2009, the P.A. and Dad did a little landscaping; the installed a lovely wildlife pond for the one resident frog, which mew can just see on the left of the photo, not the frog, the pond.

And on the other side of the path they created a mini stone circle just for cats. It's true, take a look below.

Mew see stone circles are in our DNA! MOL MOL 

I loved this rock garden more that mew could imagine.

And I spent countless hours that summer relishing in all that stone circle energy! 

Did Mew Know This About Me?

When I first arrived at BBHQ, I'd had four homes in two years, for some unknown reason I kept being returned to the small cat rescue shelter. But I understand why now; it was because I was meant to get to BBHQ, the P.A. and Dad, those other homes were not meant for me, BBHQ was, and the universe in those first two years of my life was orchestrating events to get me to there, and it did.

Mew know I spent many hours on Pawtrol in my life, and not only within the BBHQ compound, but also the field over the fence.  

And some summer evenings, when the moon was full and the air was still, I'd stay out really late and the P.A. would come looking for me down the field and carry me back home.

The P.A. would whistle when she required my presence, but on those hot summer nights, with all the little creatures rustling in the undergrowth, I must admit that I did purposefully ignore her. Hence the scenario above, when I'd be carried home! MOL

And finally,

I really loved cuddles, seriously I know it's hard to believe when mew read all our epic adventures, but I really did love getting snuggled and cuddled with the P.A. and Dad.

 

I'll leave mew bask in the magnificence of all my manlycatness, and look forward to your company on Wednesday when we're back with The Midweek News Round-up, until then...

**EASTER FUN** Colouring with Cats ~ Getting Your OMs on with Mandala's on Monday ~ Who Got The Easter Eggs?

 

Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furiends

What a glorious Easter weekend it's been, the weather has been amazing, in fact it's been so warm the P.A. and Dad got the deck chairs out in the courtyard and we renamed our little village Costa Del Mewton-Clawson! MOL

Anyhoo, how was your weekend, guys, did mew get any Easter eggs?  This year we were fortunate enough to get some catnip ones, if mew missed Caturdays post go check it out if mew get time for our latest Crafting with Cats post.

But I digress, so we all got catnip eggs at BBHQ, well Melvyn got them furst.

Then Fudge ambled in the catservatory and said, "Dude, I think mew need to share some of those epically epic eggsceptionally aromatic Easter eggs!" [yep he really said that!]

But then when nopurrdy was looking Smooch swooped in and snatched the eggs and had a free-for-all in the craft room on his own! Like seriously dude, there was one each!!! Manners purrlease! 

Smooch said, and I quote, "But Dude they're just too good!" MOL

Anyhoo, we do hope mew've all had a totally pawesome weekend, and that mew're ready for the week ahead, so let's jump right in and start as always with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now...  but if mew've furgotten, stop what mew're doing for a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Smooch is here again to overr mew assistance in getting your OM's on and Zen Harmonies happening, so just press play, close your eyes and follow his instructions.

Don't mew feel better already?  I know we do!

Colouring with Cats #103 ~ Getting Your OM’s on with Mandalas on Mondays ~Time's Speeding Up and Nipping On With Parsley

Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furiends

Welcome to the new week, and to be honest it doesn't seem two shakes of a lamb's tail since it was last Monday, is time speeding up? It feels like its getting faster, or is it all relative, as our fav theoretical physicist dude Albert Einstein would say? We don't know, but we're wundering if time is speeding up does that mean the covid-19 vaccine will be here sooner and distributed quicker meaning we can all return to normal next week? 

Parsley got quite excited by that theory and decided to try some experimental catnip in celebration...

.. he's now racing around level 2 with a red cape on declaring he's Supurr Cat; we think he needs to calm the fluff down and do some breathing exercises with Smooch, and that's where the rest of us are headed right now! MOL

We do hope mew've all have a totally pawesome weekend, and that mew're ready for the week ahead, so let's jump right in and start as always with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now...  but if mew've furgotten, stop what mew're doing for a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Smooch is here again to offur mew assistance in getting your OM's on and Zen Harmonies happening, so just press play, close your eyes and follow his instructions.
