English term or phrase: frenzy of fur
With curled tails sweeping rhythmically from side to side, mouths open with silly grins, they collide into my body in a delighted frenzy of fur.
Asaphina
übermütige Fellknäuel
Explanation:
Ich habe sowas wie junge Hunde vor Augen. Da könnte man sagen, dass die übermütigen Fellknäuel mich vor lauter Glück / Lebensfreude / Extase (ja nach Situation) überrennen. Sollte die Rede von grossen Braunbären oder ausgewachsenen Wildschweinen sein, passt das Bild natürlich nicht.
