Cats "loaf" when they are in a specific resting position. Here's what it means:
Definition: A cat loaf refers to when a cat is sitting with its paws tucked underneath its body, resembling a loaf of bread.
Comfort and Security: This position is often a sign that the cat feels safe and secure. They aren't in a defensive posture, suggesting they feel comfortable in their environment.
Conserving Heat: Cats may also loaf to conserve body heat. By tucking their paws in, they minimize exposed surface area.
Relaxation vs. Sleep: While loafing, a cat may be relaxed but not necessarily asleep. They can still be alert and aware of their surroundings.
Variations: There are different variations, such as the "full loaf" (all paws tucked in) and the "half loaf" (one paw slightly visible).
Not Always Comfortable: If the cat appears tense or uncomfortable while loafing, it might indicate pain or discomfort. Observe their body language for other signs.
