Petpet Cannonball

Reason Number Ten: Some petpets, okay, most petpets, are really annoying.

Take the slorg for instance. You spend all day cleaning your neohome, only to find that your slorg has dirtied it up for you to clean again. Another annoying petpet is the buzzer. It buzzes so much, that only a pet that is already crazy won’t be driven crazy by its incessant buzzing. But the most annoying petpet is probably the kadoatie. Its selfish demands and unceasing cries will drive people crazier faster than the buzzer!

Reason Number Nine: Petpets are small and coincidentally cannonball sized.

Some Neopians find it disturbing to see it that way, but petpets are just the right size to fit into a cannon. That is, unless you have a faerie petpet with enormous wings. And since the new game has come out, someone has been hiding all of the cannon balls…

Reason Number Eight: Your petpet wants to be a petpet-cannonball in the circus.

Yeah, it’s a little weird. No, it’s really weird. Your petpet wants to be in the circus? Ha! Dream on. Oh, sorry. Who are we to ruin dreams? The first step to being in the circus is well, being shot out of a cannon. Why not let your petpet see if this really is their destiny?

Reason Number Seven: You just won the lottery and can afford a better petpet.

It happens all the time. Some poor Neopian wins the lottery, and discovers that they don’t need a cheap petpet lying around. They should go buy a new expensive one to show off. Even if their pet doesn’t like it, at least you can say “Do YOU have a krawk petpet?” Then you can go shoot the old one out of a cannon a couple of times. What else would a petpet be good for? (Besides being a petpet.)

Reason Number Six: That snobby petpet of yours is ungrateful.

You can’t take it anymore. You’ve given that petpet every scratching tree, bathtub, bed, and toy under the sun, and it still acts like it has nothing. It lives in a room made of asparagus, the most expensive building material in Neopia for crying out loud! (What else can you use that stuff for? It’s inedible!) So teach that snobby petpet a lesson by shooting it out of a cannon a few times. I guarantee it will be very grateful after that.

Reason Number Five: Your pet just got painted and your petpet clashes with it.

I hate to be superficial, but this is a good reason. Your beloved krawk has been waiting to be painted faerie for ages. You finally get that paintbrush, and you now own a faerie krawk. Congratulations! But there’s something wrong. That pirate meowclops just doesn’t go with the girly-girl look. Make it useful, and have fun while shooting it out of a cannon. Donate it to the game and you might earn a few neopoints. *wink*

Reason Number Four: They ate your gourmet food for the trophy.

You have given more than an arm and a leg for all of that gourmet food. You deserve that trophy more than anyone. Getting ready to feed your pet the food, you discover a curiously fat warf. How dare that ungrateful, over-fed petpet eat all of that food? How did it even fit in its stomach? If this isn’t a good enough reason to shoot it out of a cannon, I have no idea what is.

Reason Number Three: They ripped up your prized, unbuyable Pirate Helmswoman plushie.

Wait, I do have another reason. How dare they? You saved up for that plushie for…forever! Sure, you could put that naughty petpet in a time-out and make it think about what it did. But the crazier, more fun solution would be to shoot it out of a cannon. Just think about that torn up unbuyable, and I’m sure you can do it.

Reason Number Two: Your petpet will not get hurt.

It says it right there on the game page. “NO PETPETS WERE HURT IN THE MAKING OF THIS GAME”. So why not? I mean, your pet could say to its friends, “My petpet is famous. He was a Petpet Cannonball.” All your pet’s friends will be jealous.

And now, the reason you are all reading this article, Reason Number One: Your petpet is a meepit.

Look at those eyes. Something strange and cruel is happening in that meepit’s brain, right this very second. I bet all they want to do is take over Neopia and eat all the cheese. Think of the poor cheese! Punish those sinister meepits! Shoot them out of a cannon! (Even thought they won’t get hurt.)

There you have it. Ten reasons why letting your petpet get shot out of a cannon can be a fun game. Now, if your petpet fits one of the descriptions above, I say, go do it. Especially if they fit more than one, or are a meepit. You heard me, go do it. Why are you still here? Go now!

Author’s Note: No petpets were emotionally scarred in the making of this article. But don’t remind them of it. Too much pain. Again, why are you still here? You should be shooting that pesky angelpuss out of a cannon right now! Hurry, the line is getting bigger!
