furfaggotry

Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈfɝfæɡətɹi/
enpr: fûrʹfăgətrē
Etymology: From fur + faggotry.
Senses: examples: text: I doubt furfaggotry is a family thing.

And since the animal is the only creature on Earth that doesn't hate the kid's fucking guts, the tard gets a little too attached to the critter to the point of wishing it could be that critter, and that desire eventually becomes a case of furfaggotry.
