I'm sorry to say that until this moment I was unaware of the vastly important contribution PETA is campaigning to make to our English usage:
No, no, that scaly thing people catch and turn into sticks and eat on Fridays and throw around in the Pike Street Market is not a fish. Psh, you are so behind the times. It's a sea kitten.
I mean, who could ever bludgeon and eat a cuddly little sea kitten?
...
Oh, PETA.
When you were younger, you thought about writing children's books. How about this bedtime story book about Sea Kittens, from our PETA friends?

You missed your calling; you could have written the fifth story in the series! ;-)
