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: ədôrəbəbəl

Sentence: Katie's cats, Fatty McButterpants and Furbucket are adorabubble. Fatty's greatest talent is to roll over on his fatback and purr when his ample belly is scratched. Fur will sing for her supper and she sings often. If breathing were a conscience effort, they would both be long gone.

Etymology: adorable (inspiring great affection; delightful; charming) + bubble (an air- or gas-filled spherical cavity in a liquid or a solidified liquid such as glass or amber)

Pronunciation: pol lee kod del

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)

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

Pronunciation: moh-pet-tron

Sentence: Hammy the cat's mopetronic behaviour was starting to creep her out, the constant eye contact and weird little grunts he made by his empty food dish - he would lay there all day until she fed him again.

Etymology: moron (a stupid dimwit) + pet (domesticated tamed animal companion)
