A common resting pose for felines, usually associated with housecats. To assume the position, the cat must tuck their arms and legs under their body, resting on their wrists, then either tuck their tail under themselves as well, or simply wrap it around themselves. The final form is a shape and size that (depending on the species) can be likened to a loaf of bread, hence the name.
While other animals can do this like cats can, the term 'loaf' is almost always used for cats alone, likely due to most animals having unideal body proportions to loaf properly (like giraffes).
The word 'loaf' can also be used as a verb, as in 'loafing,' and as the opposite to that verb, 'unloafing.'

Whenever my cat is a loaf, I sometimes confuse him with an actual loaf of bread.
I love it when my cat loafs on me and starts purring.

Loaf is one of the greatest individuals you will come across on the planet. Despite common misunderstandings, Loaf is a smart, calculating, gorgeous, breath taking, funny, brilliant, loyal individual. You can count on them to stand by your side through thick or thin(Unless you call them 'bread' in which case write out your own eulogy right now). They may come off as annoying or attention seeking but in reality they're just trying to keep you distracted from the rough reality and keep you happy. Truly, a one of a kind friend and companion, they're the type of person you wouldn't want to lose. They're a 10/10 and goddamn, give them a hug cause they need it.
