Floofspection (floofinition) – A searching and prolonged examination, often wary, conducted by an animal of a person, object, or another animal.
In use: “The web has many videos of humorous floofspections, with classics being when cats and dogs encounter a banana or cucumber and subsequently floof out.”
Michael Seidel, writer 
We recently purchased a new feeder for Regulus, but it totally freaks him out. He approaches it as if it will gobble him up. He is so tentative and if a sound were made, he would leap in terror. Eventually, he’ll get used to it, or so we hope. ~nan
