Prefurred
Created by: readerwriter
Pronunciation: pree-fuhrrd
Sentence: "Who is my Little Man?" the master always asked and then answered, "I am...I'm your Little Man." The L.M. knew it wasn't the dog who had to live outside. He, the Little Man, knew he was prefurred. Who else had people talking for him? Who else got to sleep on every couch and bed in a stream of sunshine throughout every day? Who else got to lick clean every bowl of yoghurt or ice cream? Who else got his ears and neck rubbed until his eyes rolled back in his head? Who else got to manipulate (manipawlate?) to shreds with impunity (impawnity?) every soft coverlet and carpet in the house? No one else--no one, but The Little Man...that's who!
Etymology: Using PREFERRED, meaning to be favored + FUR, meaning an animal skin, hair

Adorablob
Created by: artr
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

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
