Yup.

I'm really good at baking.

Hmm?

What is this?

Oh.

Meow.

5 Reasons Why Cats Loaf.

Number one.

To take a rest.

A cat loaf or kitty loaf is the name of the position cats sit in when they have their paws and tail tucked beneath them, resembling a loaf of bread.

This is great.

When cats are loafing, it signals that they are at ease.

As they feel relaxed by the surrounding environment.

Chipsa, what are you doing?

On the contrary, when cats are nervous or anxious,

they do not loaf, and instead, take the Sphinx position with their front paws stretched out.

Look at this, huh?

This is so that they have all four paws on the ground in order to run away immediately if something were to happen.

Scary.

Number two.

They like the place.

You can probably find cats loafing in their favorite location.

Chichi.

Hey.

Most cats loaf by the window where the sun shines through or on the plush sofa.

There you are.

They can also be found loafing on top of their owner's bag or on a towel.

Let's put on the apron, huh?

They are likely to be loafing there because they like the texture of the fabric.

Hmm, smells like Chipsa.

Number three, taking a nap.

Still here?

Cats sometimes fall asleep while loafing.

Look so silly.

Sleeping in such a position may look extremely uncomfortable to human beings.

What?

You should sleep comfortably.

However, if cats fall asleep while in a cat loaf, it means that they feel relaxed in their favorite place and are deep asleep.

I'm just looking out for you.

Therefore, if your cat is sleeping in a loafing position, you should not wake her up or be concerned.

Why would you sleep over there?

Number four, feeling a bit chilly.

Oh, so cold.

When the temperature is low and it feels cold, a cat loaf may look a bit different.

Oh, feels so nice.

When cats are cold, they would take out their front paws and put them entirely beneath their body.

Just as humans would slouch over when feeling cold.

She looks like a perfect bread loaf.

If your cat is all curled up or loafing with their front paws completely hidden,

you should raise the room temperature and make it warmer.

I'll keep you warm.

Ew.

Number five, not feeling well.

Cats may sit in a loafing position when they are not feeling well.

Oh, cats aren't supposed to have bread.

A cat loaf does not put much pressure on the abdomen, as such, cats feel less physical burden compared to sitting or lying down.

Right?

Chichi.

Cats have a tendency of hiding their illness.

So if your cat continues to loaf and stay still, you should check to see if she's okay.

Oh my.
