Non-perjorative place name revisions
Not entirely an anti-cat idea.

Many place names start with the syllable "Cat", and in my opinion this is merely more evidence of blatant discrimination by the International Pro-Feline Conspiracy; look at them all, Catford, Santa Catalina, Catania, Catalonia - there's even a village in Turkey called just "Cat" - how blatant can you get ?

The same principle could apply to given names, e.g. Catherine.

It is about time that all these perjorative names were tidied up, by replacing the "Cat" part with the non-discriminatory word "Pet". All those in favour, say "Aye !".

       I have no problem with bats. You could quite happily change "Cat" to "Bat" as far as I'm concerned.

       This could be the petalyst for a new religion - petholicism. A petharsis for the petatonic.

       While we're at it, "New York" seems unduly ageist - perhaps we can think of something better?

       Don't be catulant.

[8th], there's a reason for that. Draw a Venn diagram.
  

       And what's all this snaggle puss nonsense? Last time I checked I was still petagorically human.

       This idea is just petty - oops, I mean petty

       Eyes glaze over, petatonia ensues.

       Click on the link. Zoom out one level and look to the south of Catbrain. See the white road running alongside the railway line? That's where I live! Pretty freakin amazing coincidence, angel. You been following me?

       The belfry of the Petholic Church has a nice ring to it - kinda petchy, in fact.
