Correct answer is sitting.

Three scenarios:

No legs folded - standing

Rear legs folded - sitting

All legs folded - laying down

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

False. It could be laying down on the sofa with front legs not folded, it wouldn't count as sitting

[-] fine_sandy_bottom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 10 months ago

Folded is the wrong word. Not load bearing signs be better.

[-] CoachDom@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Objection.

It would just be SITTING on said sofa

You are not laying on the sofa unless you are vertical. If you are ON the sofa in the chair position thats sitting too.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

According to that logic, this cat is standing on the sofa. I have seen my cat laying down with his front paws over the end, straight down, with his back legs folded. He isn't sitting.

As fine_sandy_bottom mention

Folded is the wrong word. Not load bearing signs be better.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Which means that a cat "loafing" is still standing up instead of laying down

[-] CoachDom@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

The opposite - while "'loafing" as you refer to this posture, a cat is not puting any load on any of its limbs ergo its laying down

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Emm no? It's literally standing on all of his legs, just hiding them. Almost like doing a pushup and being on the bottom. It's still laying / sitting, yet it puts the load on the legs.

These exchanges are why I come to the internet.

What about a "sploot"?

No legs folded, or just front legs folded while laying on belly
