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: 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

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
