fur
Soft animal covering
Fur is the soft, thick hair covering an animal's body, or the pelt with hair attached used for clothing and decoration: a fur coat, synthetic fur.
The word extends to similar coatings—fur on a tongue indicates illness, fur in pipes is mineral buildup.
As a verb, to fur up is to become coated.
In internet culture, a furry is someone interested in anthropomorphic animal characters; fur sometimes appears in that context.
