Many years ago, perhaps around fifteen or perhaps something less, I suddenly had before my mind the conjoined word "Snugglemuffin." It flew into mind as a cutesy and simply irresistible term that may have been greatly influenced by rabbits, particularly as we had had a total of two rabbits, across different decades.
