The name “Jay” is not actually mentioned in the text of What Pet Should I Get. I assume it comes from the press kit or something, but I don’t know for sure, so I just left it out. If anyone can find a reliable source on it, please add that it. Because WPSIG was scrapped by Seuss, I feel like it’s better not to treat those as “official” names.
