Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
Thoroughfloof (floofinition) – a fastidious, meticulous, or tidy housepet.
In use: “A thoroughfloof in his litter box habits, the big tabby tom always dug a hole, did his business in the hole, and then covered the hole with his business with brisk, quick strokes.”
“The beagle was a throughfloof when it came to food, snatching up and lapping up anything dropped on the floor before two seconds passed, and licking his bowl clean at every feeding.”
Floofdude (floofinition) – animal lover.
In use: “The floofdude kept food and treats in his bag so that he could feed any cats and dogs that he met, and carried nuts and seeds for crows and squirrels. They all started looking for him. It was like Mr. Doolittle was walking down the street on some days.”
Foodiefloof (floofinition) – a housepet who displays loyalty to whoever has the food; a housepet who is fond of food and eating.
In use: “Titus is sometimes a dudefloof, but when I’m cooking, he becomes a foodiefloof, and then, he’s all mine!”
Dudefloof (floofinition) – a housepet who prefers male company.
In use: “In a house with three young girls and two female adults, the dog turned out to be a dudefloof, even though one of the girls had rescued him. Wherever her husband went, the spaniel followed.”
Roofloof (floofinition) – housepet, often cats and birds, who enjoy hanging around on roofs.
In use: “The next-door tortie was a roofloof. If our neighbor didn’t find her on his roof, he’d walked around, looking on other roofs and calling her. It was a seasonal habit, exercised only when sunshine abounded.”
Floofproach (floofinition) – the manner taken to walk up to, pet, or speak to a housepet.
In use: “One must be cautious in their floofproach when dealing with Tina. She’s gentle and sweet, but she is large and has her floofuliarities. For example, an unexpected hand toward her face will earn one a sharp rebuke.”
Floofsation (floofinition) – the impressions and feelings known when with a housepet, or while remembering a housepet.
In use: “Seeing the empty ceramic food bowl, he pulsed with deep floofsations of seeing his little long-haired cat rushing up to the bowl, dancing from foot to foot as he ate and purred. Hearing memories of the purr recalled the cat jumping on his lap and gazing at him with shiny, wide green eyes as he kneaded and purred. Teary, with a lump rising in his throat, he remembered how the cat would curl up, look back up at him, and gently bite his chin.”
Gobblefloof (floofinition) – housepet who reminds people of a turkey either by sound, behavior, or appearance; a housepet who eats very fast.
In use: “As soon as the kibble poured into the bowl, the puppy raced in, tail flapping in mad, fast arcs. Sliding to a stop by the bowl, knocking food out of it onto the floor, the little lab became a gobblefloof, chowing down as though it had never been fed before.”
Floofanada (floofinition) – a housepet who doesn’t seem to take up any room, cause any trouble, or leave any mess.
In use: “She had a Siamese and a Corgi but, looking around, he didn’t see any pet hair, food or water dishes, toys, nor the pets. They were floofanada, he concluded.”
Floofaloompa (floofinition) – housepet with bumpy or matted fur; a housepet that resembles a Oompa-loompa from the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory books and movies.
In use: “Although the six-year-old brushed her long-haired tuxedo cat every evening with loving attention, he was always a floofaloompa, with knots and matted lumps of fur, by mid-morning the next day.”
