the "loaf of bread" pose
When a cat sits with his legs tucked under him, and his tail wrapped around
his back legs, looking much like a loaf of bread, is his mood good, bad, or indifferent? Jack, and to a lesser extent Rizzo, will pose like this in various places around the house. Usually it's when they're on the tired side. Jack's doing it more often, and I once heard depressed cats sit like this, so I want to make sure he's not being puny.

I have one that does it when she's content so I don't nessarily think it's a
depressed pose.

Has it turned colder recently where you live? Sometimes the cats here sit like that, or curl up in a tight ball when the room is cold. Sherry

If you are referring to what is often called the "meatloaf" position, all cats sit that way AFAIK from time to time. I do know that sometimes cats with CRF who are "crashing" will sit that way because they can't get comfortable lying on their sides; I think there can be other things wrong with cats which will cause them to sit that way for the same reason. Based on my experience, if that's happening you can tell it because the cat will be constantly shifting positions trying to get comfortable. For the most part, though, sitting that way is part of their normal behavior.

When Sugar wasn't feeling well though, she would meatloaf like that with her nose toward a wall and seem to concentrate intensely. Seems she was nauseated. however, she did it *all* day. I knew something was up. She will do it normally at other times for short periods. Karen

We've always called it the "battleship" position! All my cats have done it
at one time or another, and often it seems to be an intermediate stage of rest (before they really conk out) when they can still crack open an eye or twist an ear to see what's going on...
