The structure is an onomatopoeic or playful alteration of "fluff," repeating the "oo" sound for a cute, soft effect. It is used to describe an animal, usually a cat or dog, with exceptionally soft or fluffy fur, often with a round, puffy appearance. People typically call their pets "floof" or "little floof" when admiring their fur, and the term is also used as an adjective ("floofy"). The term originated in early 2010s internet pet communities, especially on Reddit, Tumblr, and Twitter, and spread through cute animal photos and memes.
