Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
Floofsomnia (floofinition) – Human inability to deeply sleep unless an animal is present.

In use: “The hunter was trying to shoot and kill an elephant when a lion stole up on him and delivered his floofuppance.”
Biflooflent (floofinition) – Animals associated in pairs.
In use: “With two dogs, three cats, and a bird, the large male cat and little parakeet were an odd but loyal biflooflent set, always together napping, bathing, peering out windows, and eating. The bird was even with the cat in the litter box.”
Anefloofia (floofinition) – Missing an animal who was never met.

Cynofloof (floofinition) – An animal who is the center of attention.
In use: “Flash insisted on being a cynofloof, easy to do, because she was a gorgeous character, sweet with her human, but not interested in relationships with anyone else.”

Stretching, they call out
Waiting for their human’s response
Before hunting them
The thunder rumbles
He finds me and stays close by
Looking for safety
Floofbassador (floofinition) – An animal who acts as an emissary or envoy of other animals.
In use: “A small kitty found in the backyard was fed. Little did the family knew the little one, which they called Spartacus, was an floofbassador, but the next day, a mama cat was there for food, along with three other little ones.”
Gumbyfloof (floofinition) – Animal who stretches, curls up, or generally contorts itself in unusual positions.
