Please have all pets tutored and sprayed. Although some insist that they have the capacity to love, felinisaurs have very little use as "work animals". - metrohumanx, 2009-04-23: 08:25:00

Pronunciation: kit-ty-kaun

Sentence: When my feet hit the floor in the morning, Cartman, my kittykhan, is sitting at the foot of the bed staring at me, waiting for me to bring his crunchies for breakfast. Twenty minutes later he scratches the furniture so I will let him out. Twenty minutes later, he yowls for me to let him in. He is now ready to spend the day putting lovely decorative fur on my clothes and furniture. My kittykhan is absolute monarch of the home and I, like a pavlovian experiment, will not only obey, but will cuddle and coo like a new grandmother. Yeesh!

Etymology: (wordplay on kittycat) kitty: pet name for cat + khan: imperial medieval rulers of mongol, persian and turkish tribes

Pronunciation: pet ed PLANT

Sentence: Her dog Mimado usually lay around the house like a pettedplant, and today was no exception. "Oh, smoochiepoochie!" she exclaimed fondly as her dog pet-ter-pattered over and settled down in her lap for one of his 3-hour naps. The fact that Mimado was now almost 90 pounds was beginning to weigh on her, both literally and figuratively. But she had created this monster, and now she was being hoisted by her own pet-ard.

Etymology: potted plant + pet

Pronunciation: ədôrəbläb

Sentence: Wes thinks he owns a cat. He is wrong. That thing that eats cat food, purrs when scratched is not a cat at all. Cats are barely domesticated creatures that hunt mice and other small critters. Cats are agile and light of foot. Wes’ pet is none of these. What he has is an adorablob, a cute, treat eating, litter soiling lump of fur with the about as much ambition of a sofa cushion. Last week Wes had to trap and remove a mouse that was starting to establish a nest on Fatty McButterpants’ belly.

Etymology: adorable (inspiring great affection; delightful; charming) + blob (an indeterminate mass or shape)

"Fatty McButterpants"! That's great! ...Although it reminds me of NJ Governor Christie, who is not so cuddly.... - karenanne, 2010-11-05: 13:15:00
