Fretubrute
Created by: doseydotes
Pronunciation: ˈfret-ˈtü-ˈbrü-ˈte
Sentence: Celia rushed home at night, anxious to see her three cats. They were friends to her like no one else; they always listened to her worries with what was apparent sympathy. They were calm and patient and loving, just like she wished her human friends could be. She had taken to talking to them from the minute she got up – even while she was in the shower - because she knew they’d be alone all day, lost without her. At the last possible minute, when she had just barely enough time to make it to work, she left. As soon as the door closed, one of the male cats always turned to the other one and rolled his eyes. “I know. I know,” the second cat would always say (it had turned into a running joke between them) “what a freakin’ fretubrute.”
Etymology: From the Transylvanian, fret, a diminutive of Frederick; from the LeHigh, tu bru, meaning literally "please bring me a couple of bottles of whatever tasty fermented starch-based hop-flavored beverage is most readily available"; and from the Buckwheat, te, an abbreviated version of "otay," meaning "everything is going to be just fine, sir."
Communicat
Created by: artr

She was dissappointed when the guy at the piercing shop politely told her that he was fresh out of implantable whiskers. When she tried to communicat with her human friends they collectively decided that their eccentric chum had gone over the edge. Even though Tom was a bit turned on when Alley started licking herself and purring, he joined in on the planning for an intervention.
Etymology: commune (feel in close spiritual contact with) + communicate (share or exchange information) + cat (a small domesticated carnivorous mammal with soft fur, a short snout, and retractile claws)
