furball
Hairy little creature
A furball is a clump of fur that a cat coughs up after grooming—technically a hairball.
The term extends affectionately to any fluffy pet: The little furball curled up on my lap.
In military and gaming slang, a furball is a chaotic aerial dogfight with multiple aircraft in close combat.
