The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Pandora's Shelter Photo, Parsley's Milling About, and Melvyn's Wearing This Weeks Top Pick Bandana **PLUS** CATS OF MALTA

Epic Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

It's been a little cool again at BBHQ this week, and so the woodburner is keeping us warm.

Many apolgies that there aren't any new AI images for our new adventure Claws of Terror, the P.A. got a little behind with things again, but just in case mew don't know what our Control Room looks like in the bunker, here it is from way back in Fast, Furry and Dangerous! 

We're a pretty high-tech bunch and since them the bunker has got bigger and bigger.

If mew missed this weeks brand new chapter, click here to read.

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

First up in the news

 Pandora's Shelter Photo

A couple of weeks go we asked if mew'd like to see Pandora's Shelter Photo, and here it is! 

She was a tiny little thing, and she looked so forlorn, apparently she was found in a field and pregnant. She had her kittens at the rescue, and they all got adopted very quickly and then poor Pandora was on her own, and she'd been there for several months without anypawdy even giving her a second glance.

Nopawdy was remotely interested until the P.A. who was in the Magical Land of Oz at the time, checked the website, and saw her and Fudge.

So she emailed the rescue and asked them if they were still available, and they were, so the P.A. reserved them both just in case somepawdy else tried to catnap them while she was away, and when she returned from OZ, the first thing she did after dropping her suitcases at home was to go and get them both.

Pandora Now! 

The P.A. didn't realise that Pandora would become quite so fluffy! MOL

Next up in the news

 Parsley's Milling About 

Parsley enjoyed a mind-morning garden safari on Monday as the sun came out briefly, even though it was still quite cold outside.

But he really liked it, and spent some time watching the birds at the feeders.

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

This week Melvyn is modelling a completely random bandana as we fluffed up and didn't realise there were five Wednesday's this month! The only thing we can put it down to is too much catnip at Amber and Pandora's pawty at the end of last month, and we were probably looking at a calendar from years ago! MOL

So here's Melvyn getting into the festive spirit early, and modelling the Catmas Unicorn bandana.

Melvyn really enjoyed this week's modelling assignment, and check out his cute pawshake and wink as he struts his stuff!

Cats of Malta has been selected to represent Malta at the AFI European Union Film Showcase, with three screenings held at the AFI Silver Cinema, Washington in early December.

The film stars members of Malta’s local cat community, all as themselves, such as Roza Zammit Salinos, Isaac Muscat, Karmen Colerio, Matthew Pandolfino, Salvu Gilson, Michelle Degura, Polly March and Nikki Micallef.

The family-friendly documentary takes audiences on a journey through the island's colorful cat colonies, cat cafes, parks and streets to meet local volunteer feeders, business owners and artists whose lives are enriched by stray cats.

Each interview reveals more about Malta's cat culture, while illuminating the mental health benefits the stray felines provide locals and tourists alike. Enjoy a deep dive into the inner workings of the island's cat community and experience their highs and lows as the cats unite the island.

By highlighting the strength of community and focusing on the relatable universal themes of compassion and unconditional love, Cats of Malta shifts beyond solely pleasing cat enthusiasts into the realm of education, tourism and good old-fashioned, feel-good entertainment.
