I don't notice when people use "silly" terms. I see "furkids" an awful lot, but I've come accustomed to the word as a word to describe our adopted animal friends.

Hmm -- they have fur -- we adopted them -- that makes us our kids with fur -- hence then name, furkids.

And the only time I hear "purrsons" is when our pets are "talking" on PT. I personally love to hear what the pets have to say, even if it is all just fun and games. We all know that it isn't REALLY our pets, but hey, imagination is healthy for the mind. And Cinder and Smokey are too cute!!!
