What does Fluffy mean?
/ˈflʌfi/

Fluffy is simply the English word for something with a soft, downy, or fuzzy texture — an adjective turned pet name almost as a matter of course, given how often it describes exactly what it names.

It's about as literal and affectionate as a name gets, perfect for a companion with a coat you can't resist touching. Cozy and a little silly, it suits a pet whose defining feature is being wonderfully soft.
