Epic Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

The BBHQ weather has been damp, with a bitter wind chill during the day, and even colder in the evenings. I have to say, we're not loving it ... where's the sunshine and the warmth?

But we are supurr lucky it wasn't like this last week.

A night-time winter scene at BBHQ (Bionic Basil Headquarters), featuring a snow-covered garden with a pathway leading to a small illuminated summerhouse. The ground, plants, and trees are blanketed in fresh snow, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. A bright light above the door casts a warm glow, highlighting a large red decorative wheel mounted on the building’s side. Potted plants and neatly trimmed bushes line the path, adding charm to the well-maintained garden. The image includes the text "copyright www.bionicbasil.com" at the bottom

This was this time last year, yep, that white stuff can stay fluffed right off, we ARE NOT ready! MOL

Well, here's a thing!

A lifesize wall sticker designed to resemble the TARDIS from the British TV series "Doctor Who." Painted deep blue with paneling and windows, the top reads "POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX." Below the windows is a sign with detailed text about public use and emergency assistance. A circular emblem appears on the right panel, and the bottom includes the website "www.bionicbasil.com." The design evokes a nostalgic and imaginative tribute to the iconic time-traveling spacecraft

Who knew that mew could buy a life-size wall/door sticker of the Tardis?

It comes in two pieces, and it's really easy to apply - even on slightly textured walls like this one!!! MOL

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

First up in the news

Fudge's Wearing Melvyn's Bandana

An orange tabby cat named Fudge sits indoors on a textured beige carpet near a glass door. Fudge has a white chest and face and wears a light blue bandana decorated with colorful mushroom designs and a small yellow tag featuring a black cat illustration. To the left of Fudge is a large geode or crystal formation. Outside the glass door, a red blanket or rug is visible on the patio, with green bushes in the background. The image has a cozy, serene atmosphere and includes the watermark "copyright www.bionicbasil.com" at the bottom

Yep, Fudge sneaked one of Melvyn's bandanas on the other day. Melvyn is still grumpy about it. Fudge thought it was hilarious! MOL

Next up in the news

Four For One

Four cats—Fudge, Smooch, Parsley, and Melvyn—relax together on a woven herringbone-patterned rug laid across a wooden floor. Fudge, an orange tabby with a white chest, sits upright. Smooch, a black and white cat, lounges nearby. Parsley, a sleek black cat, lies comfortably, while Melvyn, a tabby and white cat, rests close to the others. The cozy indoor setting includes glimpses of surrounding furniture, capturing a peaceful moment of feline companionship. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Treat time at BBHQ is usually around 10.30pm, so a mini snack session before bed.

Amber and Pandora don't eat treats, don't ask why; they never have, but that means all the more for everpawdy else! MOL

Finally this week

Melvyn's Not Happy

Melvyn, a tabby and white cat, sits calmly on a woven rug in a warmly lit indoor space. His coat features a mix of white fur with black and gray tabby markings. Melvyn gazes to the right, alert and composed. The background includes wooden flooring, a white upholstered piece of furniture with nailhead trim, and other household items. The lighting highlights Melvyn and the rug, while the rest of the room remains softly shadowed. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

Well, mew know why he's not happy, Fudge stole one of his bandanas, and a Catmas one he was preparing to wear at the beginning of December - oh fluff, siblings hey?!!! MOL

Today's Really Random Photo

Pandora Springing into Action March 2022

Pandora, a fluffy dark-colored cat, is captured mid-motion on a grassy lawn during a sunny day. Her front legs are extended forward and her tail is raised high, suggesting she’s pouncing or playing energetically. The background includes a well-maintained lawn, a flowerpot, and some plants in the upper right corner. The image conveys a lively and playful moment. The bottom of the image reads "copyright www.bionicbasil.com"

This photo still cracks us up, and to this day, we have no idea what made Pandora spring upwards like that! MOL

That's us done for today. Amber will be back on Friday with another fab book just for mew, and she says sorry for missing the last two weeks, but she's back!

Here are all the links for Fast, Furry and Dangerous, our third epically epic B Team adventure all the way from 2016, and it's still as exciting now as it was then:

Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three Chapter Four Chapter Five

Chapter Six Chapter Seven Chapter Eight Chapter Nine Chapter Ten

Before we pop off, Happy Thanksgiving to all our furbulous furiends celebrating tomorrow!

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