silky fur
Smooth animal pelage
Silky fur is animal hair with a soft, smooth texture that feels luxurious to the touch.
The phrase appears in descriptions of cats, rabbits, and other animals prized for their coats: The Persian cat's silky fur requires daily brushing.
Silky emphasizes the glossy, fine quality rather than coarse or wiry texture.
