Catloaf

And Gary never got to see him do the full catloaf, where he curled up face-down so that all that stuck out were the tips of his ears. I never got a picture of that, either.

One must often attend to the tail and ensure it remains tucked and not become flippant, so as to maintain a catloaf of presentable form.

"Catloaf" position with paws and tail tucked under the body: "Please do not disturb!"

I love the ‘catloaf’ expression, so one evening I just had to see if I could bake it for real. Thus catloaf [a loaf shaped like a catloaf] was born, simple as that.
