When a wet cat (or any animal with fur) gets dried off, their fur sticks up. This can give the effect of making them look kind of like [[Star Trek (Franchise)|Tribbles]] with faces. This trope is about the way hair standing on end when dried is taken [[Up to Eleven]] [[Rule of Funny|for comedy]]. This isn't just "cat is slightly fluffier when freshly washed and dried"; this is "short haired cat is now one big puff of long, fluffy fur".

* [[Looney Tunes|Pepe LePew]] from ''[[Looney Tunes]]''.
** Another ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' cartoon had Sylvester put in a washing machine: The final step of the washing cycle was "fluff dry".
* Happens on ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'', too. Tom gets stuck in a washing machine (and survives, of course). It cycles through the usual: Wash... Dry... Fluff... and out pops Tom, now a round, grey ball of fluff, who has somehow been fluffed so much that he now floats through the air sans legs.
* This happens to a few of the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' characters (Gusty, Licketysplit and Heart Throb, I think) after the enemies capture them for their hair and force them through a cleaning process similar to a car wash. After they're dried, they come out looking poofy for a few seconds. In this case, it's one of the few times it's obvious that the ponies have fur all over their bodies and not just on their manes and tails (as real horses do).
* In the [[Walt Disney]] short cartoon "Rugged Bear", [[Donald Duck]] does such a thing with a ''bear'' who pretends to be a carpet in Donald's cabin.
* Happened to Archimedes the Owl in ''[[The Sword in Thethe Stone]]'' when completely drying himself after "saving" Arthur as a fish when almost been eaten by a big moat fish.

* Puss-in-Boots after their ship crashed on shore in ''[[Shrek|Shrek the Third]]''
* [[Team Pet|Momo]] gets a moment of this after being dried out by Aang's airbending in one episode of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''.
* [[Weasel Mascot|Pabu]] follows suit after his [[Team Pet|Small Team Pet]] predecessor in an episode of ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]''.
