Meaning and background
The story behind Floofy
Floofy has a direct descriptive connection to dogs and cats. Collins English Dictionary records it as slang for an animal with abundant fur or hair, and lists the comparison forms floofier and floofiest. That makes it a particularly concrete coat-inspired choice for a shaggy or plush-looking pet. The dictionary evidence explains the informal English adjective; it does not identify Floofy as an inherited personal name or indicate a particular breed.
