Pillowfluffs

Note: This article is straight up copied.

Pillowfluffies, also known as pillowfluffs or amputee fluffies, are fluffies which have had all their legs removed.

As would be expected, most pillowfluffs show signs of depression and frustration at being unable to move, play, or give hugs nearly as well as they normally could. Additionally, a pillowed fluffy will often ask for its legs back, usually asking the question, "How time tiw' weggies?" Or some permutation thereof.

The younger a fluffy is when its legs are amputated, the better it will generally fare without its limbs, and those raised in proximity to other pillowfluffs will seldom suffer from the crippling depression others usually suffer from.

A well adjusted pillowfluff will often wiggle around as a main means of getting from place to place without its owner, try to give "stumpie huggies" or "cuddwes" and may do "stumpie dancies" by wiggling its stumps around if they have them or doing what amounts to a strange side to side wiggle of their bodies if even stumps are absent. Some may even be able to sit themselves upright with considerable effort and stay up with practice, and some will even use rolling as a means of locomotion (though this often results in them leaving a trail of vomit in their wake as they get dizzy rolling around.)

Fluffies that are amputated in adulthood, however, almost always suffer some form of depression and are typically immobile, more out of abject despair than actual inability to move.

Despite this, various in-universe communities have been established across that universe's Internet in celebration of pillowfluffs and the like, many of which claim pillowfluffs are 'happier and safer' than their four legged counterparts. Unfortunately, while they might be safer (as a pillowed fluffy is practically unable to accidentally hurt themselves or get into dangerous household items,) a fluffy's ingrained desire for hugs and play means it is practically never the case that they're happier. Instead, most are left suffering and horribly miserable, only ever able to experience slivers of joy when around their owners.

Pillowfluffs that discover that the reason for their lack of legs is their owner, or that they have been lied to in regards to their legs "coming back" will become even more horribly tormented, and many both due to or regardless of this will enter the "wan die" loop rather quickly.

Pillowfluffs cannot use most regular fluffy toys, and are given very limited options in their entertainment needs. Toys for pillowfluffs include smell stations, plastic trays with scented fabrics glued to them, abacuses, and ping pong balls. Pillowfluffs who are given access to regular toys may break down in tears. Of course, FluffTV is also an option, but may bring back heartbreaking memories of before amputation. As such, PillowfluffTV is the most widely recommended alternative.

Huggie Fluffs
The "huggie fluff" is another amputated fluffy. However, only its back legs are removed. This limits its mobility, but allows it to play, hug, and scoot around (or even run with the use of a wheeled harness.)

Originally, the "huggie fluff" referred to a very specific type of fluffy, which was designed to be hyper-clingy and naive even by fluffy standards while being far less likely to accidentally injure itself thanks to reduced mobility. However, the term has since been broadened to include all fluffies without back legs.

The "huggie fluff" is relatively uncommon, despite, or perhaps because, it is a reasonable compromise between quadruple amputation and allowing a fluffy to keep all its limbs. It may likewise be that most "huggie fluffs" are now the simple result of necessary amputations due to disease, defects, or injury rather than any malicious or selfish actions on the part of one's owner.

Milkbags
(See main article)

"Milkbags" are mares that are used to feed orphan or industrial-bred foals, typically in shady industrial settings. They are almost always adults at the time of amputation, quadruple amputees, and often have had their tongue and/or eyes removed (or been gagged and fitted with a blindfold,) to prevent interaction with the foals that they feed.

"Milkbags" are typically kept restrained in harnesses or in very small cages, a combination restriction and depression preventing them from learning to move without their limbs and thus, keeping them from moving in any way that might harm the foals.

Litter Pals
Litter Pals are a commercial product, first created by Abuse-Sir & Big-Baybeh that are designed to eat fluffy waste and clean a fluffy's anus/hindquarters. They had two versions. The first version was an amputee fluffy with its anus connected to a re-pluggable container. This version had several problems:

-The re-pluggable container cost extra, but was useless as many customers just threw it and a dead-litter pal away

-Sometimes, a fluffy may show compassion to it, and enter a stage of severe depression. This is most often caused by the litter pal speaking to the pet fluffy and making it feel sorry for it

-It had teeth, so in some cases, where an aggressive fluffy/smarty may bite the fluffy getting cleaned or eat a foal that gets close

The second version solved all those problems, The re-pluggable container was replaced with a cardboard box that held the fluffy captive so that only the head showed. The litter pal's hindquarters were shaved and a plastic bag was placed over its anus. Finally, it would have it's teeth and vocal cords removed, so it couldn't bite or speak. If the fluffy getting turned into a litter pal wasn't brown or a sickly green, it was simply dyed one of the two colors.
