Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
Flooftusi (floofinition) – dance performed by some household pets, it usually involves the creature sitting still and moving nothing but its head, often as it watches something. Cats will often perform the dance inline while watching birds. If they add chattering to the dance, catologists call the variation the bird-tusi.
In use: “Lined up at the window, the three felines watched birds and performed an admirable variant of the flooftusi that’s known as the bird-tusi.”
Flooflebrity (floofinition) – a pet who is widely known and of great interest.
In use: “Although Kirk the border collie won the 2017 Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge, it was video of her watching and reacting to her performance that made her a flooflebrity.”
Floopy (floofinition) – a pet who acts silly.
In use: “Meep was floopy today, galloping into the house from the patio, sliding to a stop on the hardwood dining room floor, and then spinning around and galloping back out.”
It was an expulsion from his mouth and nose, a rejection of foreign bodies irritating his systems,
And a trigger for the cat to leap up from deep sleep and scurry from the noisy monster (who is usually quiet and friendly, especially when he has food or treats) into another room’s safety,
And a cue for the dog to say, “Hello!” (woof),
And a signal for annoyance to fly through his wife’s expression as she says, “That’s one.”
Infloofsive (catfinition) – when people include their pet in their activities.
In use: “Wade was infloofsive with Bella, taking the Corgi everywhere, even riding around town on his motorcycle with Bella on the gas tank, although he limited that to short trips.”
Imfloofceptible (floofinition) – an animal not perceptible by a sense or by the mind
In use: “Imfloofceptible, her cat was probably in the house, but remained hidden after she came home each day until she either went into the bathroom or opened something to eat. Then, suddenly, amazingly, the cat was at her feet, meowing, “Hello. Good to see you.””
Defloofinate (floofinition) – to relax and de-stress by spending time with a pet.
In use: “After an hour of rush hour traffic, he entered the house, threw down his keys, kicked off his shoes, and defloofinated with his dog’s head on his lap.”
Dogma (floofinition) – a canine’s mom.
In use: “Though he was male, the puppy needed to be raised, so he had no choice but to be the puppy’s dogma.”
Floofgic (floofinition) – 1) A pet’s power to apparently influence the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
In use: “The cat knew when she had a migraine, and came to sit with her, using its floofgic to alleviate the migraine in minutes. She never told others this, but she knew from being away that the cat had floofgical powers that helped her heal.”
2) A pet’s reasoning according to their world view.
In use: “By their floofgic, whatever he was eating was meant for the cat and dog, too, just as their floofgic stated, if he was sitting, his lap was available for them to nap on.”
Flooftronics (floofinition) – electronic and mechanical devices designed to automate living with pets.
In use: “Despite flooftronics like an automatic water fountain with filtered water, a self-filling kibble bowl, and a pet door that opened when the cat approached, her beloved feline still awoke her at four A.M. for some floof time.”
