fuzzball

Lint clump, perhaps

A fuzzball is anything small and covered in fuzz—a lint clump, a dandelion puff, or most often, a fluffy animal: Look at that little fuzzball curled up on the couch.

The term is affectionate, typically applied to cats, puppies, or other creatures whose fur makes them look like soft, round puffs.
