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)

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

Sentence: When Old Lady Harris finally passed on from Shaker's Acres to the Great Beyond, the only thing she left her niece, Bethany, was her beloved, Hyacinth Macaw parrot, Polly. Polly could talk, incessantly, as it turns out and demanded all Bethany's attention. It turns out,too, her aunt had treated Polly like a baby and as a result she had been able to pollycoddle the raucous bird and spoil her rotten. When Polly did not get her way she screached and swore loudly. "Oh well," thought Bethany, "at least she also left me a few bucks to buy food and supplies for the bird". It was with horror then that Bethany read that parrots like Polly lived to the age of one hundred!

Etymology: Polly (popular name for a pet parrot) & Mollycoddle (a pampered darling;treat with excessive indulgence)
