AIBU to think that bunnies are fluffy but not velvety?

[ClaireDeLoon]

:o a place to hide from extreme opinions and comtemplate fluffy things like bunnies and kittens.

I smoothed a penguin. It was smooth and a bit velvety.

I wish I was a floaty otter.

Sounds like a euphemism - floaty otter!

Oh I love the feel of snakes - like warm leather!

oaty flotter

Cor I don't arf have an oaty flotter today

They're velvety if you shave them, so I'm told.

Vicar would you like another slice of oaty flotter?

Hahaha floaty otter!

Butterflies are velvety. I'd presume, I haven't actually stroked one.

Please, no butterflies, I have a phobia.

Odd you should say that. My friend does too. I was shameless and used to tease her, but it soon lost it's appeal.

Change of subject. My mum has a fluffy Persian cat that gets a hair cut in the summer like this one <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=shaved+persian+cat&um=1&hl=en&client=safari&tbo=d&tbm=isch&tbnid=aaBxmHk3YCMALM:&imgrefurl=www.meatheadfilms.com/blogs/bd/2007/09/01/New-Kid-on-the-Block%25253A-Stacey-Rachdorf/&docid=URrl_xustu8YpM&w=320&h=270&ei=fc1DTrSBEsSx8gP0wq3sBQ&zoom=1&biw=1024&bih=690" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=shaved+persian+cat&um=1&hl=en&client=safari&tbo=d&tbm=isch&tbnid=aaBxmHk3YCMALM:&imgrefurl=www.meatheadfilms.com/blogs/bd/2007/09/01/New-Kid-on-the-Block%25253A-Stacey-Rachdorf/&docid=URrl_xustu8YpM&w=320&h=270&ei=fc1DTrSBEsSx8gP0wq3sBQ&zoom=1&biw=1024&bih=690

So, we're agreed?

Velvety - moles, giraffes, fawns
Fluffy - ducklings, baby meercats, baby penguins
Wirey - sheep, polar bears.

Agreed.

Now baby cows. I feel they'd fall into the velvety category, but I have no RL experience on this matter.

And bunnies on the velvety list

I don't know - I believe bunnies fell into both fluffy and velvety lists

Baby cows are velvety but their tongues are like sandpaper.

No bunnies are too contentious at the moment so I've left them out for the time being.

I thought we'd come back to it later.

Now...Dolphins. Slippery?

Cats tongues also on sandpaper list

Hedgehogs and pigs on the bristly list.

The rabbit ate all my lupins.

So i ate the rabbit.

Well,not really but i did threaten him.

Dolphins = rubbery.

Bloody pigs and they're bristly backs.

Goats are also wiry

I've often thought how lovely it would be to hug a lion. I can only assume that people who work in zoos manage to resist it, otherwise there would be more fatalities. I suspect that, if the lion needs vet treatment, they probably send it to sleep, then everyone gets in there for a good hug, and then the treatment commences.

Tigers are probably velvety. Like a giant mole. Only cat-shaped.

Baby cows are rough-ish, like horse hair.

I love baby crocodiles. Not velvety, or fluffy. Snappy.
