Floof

Floof is an informal term used to describe something that is exceptionally fluffy, soft, and voluminous. It is often associated with animals, particularly those with dense fur such as Pomeranians, Samoyeds, and Persian cats. The term emphasizes the visual and tactile qualities of extreme fluffiness, suggesting a cloud-like or cotton-ball-like appearance.

While primarily used in casual conversation and online communities, "floof" conveys a sense of endearing softness and often implies a certain cuteness. It can also be applied metaphorically to inanimate objects that possess a similar quality, like a very puffy pillow or a downy blanket. The word itself is onomatopoeic, mimicking the sound of something soft and yielding. Its popularity has grown through social media platforms where images and videos of extremely fluffy animals are frequently shared. The term is generally understood without the need for explicit definition within relevant online contexts.
