      Feathers, but very simple filament-like ones. Remember - feathers haven’t evolved for flight. No idea how cuddly they were (you’d have to ask a paleontologist), but I’m just going to assume “extremely”.

          Composition? I tried googling it. Found an article which says that while hair is made of keratin, feathers are also made of keratin, but the keratin is different.

          ¯\_(ツ)_¯

          Maybe someone who knows what they are talking about will chime in. I am not that person.
