fluffballs

Soft round puffs

Fluffballs are small, soft, rounded masses of fluffy material—lint, fur, or fiber that collects in pockets, under furniture, or in dryer vents.

The term extends affectionately to anything similarly round and soft: a kitten, a pomeranian, a baby chick.

Look at that little fluffball!
