Do you own a Furkid?The topic on Steve Wright in the afternoon Definition: furkid n. A pet treated as though it were one's child. First I said yes as Denis is babied and spoilt like a child and I won't be having children but I know he is a cat and he does cat things (and I haven't replaced a child I want cats not children).and although I do things to make him comfortable I wouldn't do things such as not go on holiday (and put him in a cattery, I have trawled for the right cattery mind), but is this caring for your cat or is he a furkid??? What about yours?

I heard this item on the radio too, Babycakes! I was in the car with my OH and said immediately "Merlin isn't a furkid!" but my OH disagreed and said he was!!! (We were going off to the vet to get Merlin some special food at the time). I agree with your definition and would say that I follow a very similar thought pattern! |

Although I love my two dearly I know they are cats at the end of the day. They wouldn't stop me going o holiday ect. I'm with your definition BC |

Is the term "furkid" just a slightly more grown up equivalent then of "furbabies" - should we NOT use that term? I had thought of it as a term of endearment! |

I thought so Angie (I think other people are just taking the mickey out of people loving their animals really) |

Well I have 3 cats - Emily, Smudge & Bluebell. I treat them all the same.  HOWEVER! My husband has 2 cats - Emily & Smudge and a furkid called Bluebell  Hate to admit it, but it is true. |

Mine have always been spoiled, but I don't think of them as surrogate children, they are cats, companion animals who I dearly love. And furbabies is just a term of endearment IMO, and I'll continue to use it..... |
