Pet Peeve #2 Stupid pet names

Posted Thursday, July 10, 2008 11:44 AM by BJ not BK

Pet Peeve #2 comes to you in the form of irritation at stupid pet names.  I know that plenty of you out there have paid zero attention to my what is and is not a pet law.  Ok, so you have a sever disdain for authority, I get it.  You have a cat and are not eating it and you have not thrown it away...not sure I get that but please, please make sure you follow proper naming protocol in the event you try to claim a cat, pig, bird or anything else that really isn't a pet as a pet.

CATS - The only proper name for a cat is either kitty or cat.  Nothing else works.  I hate it when people call their cats names like fluffy, muffin, pickles, socs, boots, mr. boots, hairy, etc.  Please use proper faux-pet naming procedures and use either kitty or cat

sames goes for other faux-pets please avoid the obvious at all costs....no spot, bandit, or chocolate to coincide with your pet's fur, no tiger, no killer, no champ to go along with the lack of personality of your faux-pet either.

Nothing makes me sicker...well nothing except a 12lb rib eye that has sat out in the sun for 4 days unrefrigerated.

sorry for the delay Fluffy....I had to go to outside counsel.  Here is the ruling:  Fluffy is ok as it does not accurately depict the texture or nature of a cow's coat.  Also it is universally known that cows are not pets.  Depending on where you live in the world cows are seen as:

1. gods - any animal with multimple stomachs is pretty cool but not worthy of diety status 2. food 3. sources of cash aka "cash cow"

You should have nothing to worry about though as we import all of our beef here at bjnotbk from Japan, only Kobe steaks hit our grill, besides.....you are family, again, not a pet
