絨毛 (Пушинка, Pushinka ,"Fluffy")是1961年蘇聯領導人尼基塔·赫魯曉夫送給美國總統約翰·肯尼迪的一條狗。絨毛是小箭頭的女兒，後者曾乘斯普特尼克5號進入太空。^[1]

傑奎琳·肯尼迪與赫魯曉夫在維也納的一場國宴中談及小箭頭以及其生下的幼犬，而後絨毛便被送至白宮。^[2] 中央情報局曾將羽毛送至Walter Reed Army Medical Center以檢查潛在的竊聽裝置。經過X射線、金屬探測器、超聲波檢測之後，並無發現任何裝置。^[3]

白宮的電工兼任養狗人Traphes Bryant以花生訓練絨毛爬梯子上到卡羅琳·肯尼迪的遊戲屋並從另一側滑下。^[2]^[4]

絨毛被肯尼迪的另外一隻狗——查理——受孕。並生下四隻小狗，它們被肯尼迪開玩笑稱作pupniks。^[5] 白宮受到五千則公眾請求，目的為領養絨毛生的某隻小狗。Butterfly以及Streaker被送給了中西部的兒童。White Tips與Blackie則是呆在了肯尼迪在Squaw Island的家中，不過最終仍被送給親友。其中一隻送給Patricia Kennedy及其丈夫彼得·勞福德。^[6]

截至2015年，絨毛的後嗣仍存活着。^[7] 絨毛日後變得暴躁而且「懶洋洋的」據卡羅琳稱可能是因為常常被帶到實驗室所導致。^[2]
