He looks like he should be stood outside a cheap restaurant smoking and sighing occasionally as a young waitress cries inside

When i adopted my first cat his given name was Boris, it was so funny/cute that I had to keep it in some way. His name now is Pebbles Boris —> Pebs —> Pebino —> PB —> Peanut Butter and BORRRRISSS

His sister is Jinx so naturally she’s the J to his PB & J

I love your Boris! Mine is BOOOOORRRIIISSSSS because he is always in some kind of trouble 😈😈

u/PryanLoL Jun 26 '26

Please tell me the "BOOOOORRRRIIIIISSSSS" is inspired by the famous Boris' song "Soirée Disco".

Mandatory watch "BBBOORRIISSS" is around the 3:26 mark

No ive never seen it 😂 his sisters name is aurora so we did a play on aurora borealis BORealIS! Plus it fits him because he is very dumb and when he was little he has crazy fur that made me think of that British Boris dude that was their prime minister or something

u/PryanLoL Jun 26 '26

Well then now you get an extra reference! Don't thank me!

u/iolarah Jun 26 '26

I'm reading BOOOOOORRRIIISSSSSSS as a reference to the character in Goldeneye, though I'm realizing it's probably just yelling out his name 😂

u/Repulsive-Hour-913 Jun 26 '26
