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.
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.
double negative. comes from uneducated people at america and idk maybe other english spoken countries. Used heavily on mice and men and while it isn't high english it is completly valid to use double negatives to give a country side effect.
I have long learned to accept that position that look "not resting" to us are actually resting because the majority of the body weight is nicely distributed on the floor unlike us two legged weirdos

Correct answer is sitting.
Three scenarios:
No legs folded - standing
Rear legs folded - sitting
All legs folded - laying down
Maalus@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 2y
False. It could be laying down on the sofa with front legs not folded, it wouldn't count as sitting

Folded is the wrong word. Not load bearing signs be better.
CoachDom@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 2y
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.

Which means that a cat "loafing" is still standing up instead of laying down
CoachDom@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
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

What about a "sploot"?
No legs folded, or just front legs folded while laying on belly

Something about this feels oddly like a captcha.
Is the puppy mechanical in any way?

No, it is the bad kind of puppy. We also would have accepted "a letter from your sweety".
