Morphology

muffy = muff (transparent) = muff + y

This is a straightforward adjectival formation meaning 'having the qualities of a muff', which directly supports the texture or appearance sense.

Etymology

Muffy meaning soft or fluffy comes from the word muff, which was a fur 'hand-warmer' that felt very soft. So muffy describes something that is like a muff: warm, soft, and fluffy.
