He has a plush teddy bear that he likes to hump. I call it HumperBear\*. He’ll start in on HumperBear and then look at me guiltily.

Frankly, I don’t care if he wants to hump his bear but I don’t particularly want to watch. So I say, “If you must do that, take HumperBear down to the bedroom.” It doesn’t usually work and I end up ignoring him.

\*Actually, it’s HumperBear II because the original was too gross for words. But we don’t like to talk about that. 😉

“Will ya quit squirming and take it like a man!” (when pilling my female grand dame kitty)  
“Do you HAVE to be where I am?”  
“Mmmmm… Ass” (other kitty loves plunking herself down in front of me to clean herself. Doesn’t matter where I am, there she is)  
“Quit drooling in my ear”

Why do we abbreviate human names to “nick” them, but enlongate animal names?  
Bernie is “Bernastine” or “Berniewernie”  
Cleo is “Cleo-bo-Beeo” or “Cleobrat-tra”
