Ok. Well, that went smoothly....
You were only at the fourth clue but I take it you didn't want to continue?
If I was giving clues for chaton, I probably would have gone French, cat, baby, translate, as that would probably be a better progression to lead the guessers to the word. Starting out with soft and fluffy and expecting people to guess the French word for kitten from that is probably not the best start. And don't know how internetz is supposed to help players get to that word. Not to mention foreign words not common used or adapted into the English language is probably a whole no-no to begin with for basing a word on.
At least when you started going foreign, I was with you. The white flag and foreign clues I took to be French and surrender. I decided to disregard the internetz clue and combine that with soft and fluffy. Thinking that you may have been purposely vague with soft and fluffy to make us think the word would have something to do with cats, as expected from you, I then tried to think of a French word used in English that was soft and fluffy and went for the food angel with meringue, which is the white top part of key lime, lemon meringue or banana cream pie.
