Bunny, my honey. I love him like money even though he’s got a mean left hook.
It’s a byzantine relationship. Do you have one of these with your pet?

The Curious Practice of Pet-Naming: PicFic

Some puzzling labels for humans are as follows:
Some men are teddy bears, some women are cougars, some people are pigs (regardless of sex), while others are simply called animals. In Animal Planet—a postcard story—Rose Hunter provides more examples.
Nonhuman animals themselves are the recipients of perplexing naming practices.
I explore this phenomenon in a Twitter-length fiction—140 characters or less. It appears in PicFic—the Twitter fiction wing of Folded Word Press.

He told me his name and the name of his cat.
Don’t remember either and forgot to ask:
Does the weight of the cat make your head hurt?
