The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Early Cats Get More Breakfast, Smooch Pondering a New Crafting Project in The Craft Room, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana **PLUS* The Winner of Smooch's Birthday Giveaway

Furbulous Greetings Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

What a weekend, did mew watch The Coronation, wasn't it epic?  It was a truly spectacular spectacle, although we have read several disgruntled reports, which is a shame as when mew look at it from a logical purrspective, it is what it is, and just be happy to have witnessed it. The UK is pretty much one of the only countries left with such long-standing Royal traditions which we think is really nice in today's modern society.

We don't understand why some small factions of peeps want to eradicate heritage and try to rewrite history. We are all for forward movement and progress, but we can't change history no matter how we try, well not unless somepawdy steals our Time Travelling Telephone Box and goes messing with the timeline, but then would it really change for the better?

In our humble opinion, if we're allowed to have one anymore, that the best way to deal with history of an unpleasant nature is to learn from it and try not to make the same mistakes, not ram it up everypawdy that it needs to be eradicated. If things are deleted and omitted, then society can't learn and basically, that kind of thought process is akin to the events in the early 1940s when a certain person tried to take over the world and rewrite previous events, especially with the book burning and censorship that was being enforced.

It didn't end well for millions of innocent people, and yet today in 2023, eighty years later when we live in the most enlightened of times, with the best of everything compared to early generations, a small minority are deeply unhappy about how truly lucky we are. Everypawdy is entitled to an opinion, so if they all agreed to disagree, and purrhaps, they'd see life for how truly wondrous it is, and let's be kind and understanding to each other.

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

First up in the news this week

 Early Cats Get More Breakfast

Every morning, it's the same four kitties who are first on the scene for breakfast, while Melvyn and Amber are still in a kitty coma until mid-morning. By the time those two finally arise, this lot are already on their second and sometimes if not third breakfasts.

The early cat really does scoff all the snacks! MOL

Next up in the news

 Smooch Pondering a New Crafting Project in The Craft Room

Smooch was deep in thought on Sunday in the craft room.

He was pondering what we could make next for our summer crafting post and he thought by surrounding himself with previous projects, it might inspire him to new levels of crafting greatness! MOL

Mew can see three behind him:

The Scratch'n'Purrch Shroom

The Cat Tree Glow Up 

The Valentine's Cottage

And he was actually looking straight at: The Catmas Tree and the Haunted House. Mew can find all our previous crafting posts by clicking here.

Anyhoo, he's trying to come up with something really fun for the summer, and if mew have any ideas for him, leave them in the comments below.
