From "Half Sploot" To "Baguette:" Cat Lovers Gather To Coin New Term For Lesser Appreciated Resting Cat Position, Hilarity Ensues

Hello, cat lovers and enthusiasts and everyone else tuning in to read this fantastic piece of literature. Cat enthusiasts have united in the quest to christen the adorable yet often overlooked feline lounging pose. It all began with a Reddit post featuring a cat draped elegantly over a surface, prompting users to propose their own endearing monikers. "Green beaning" was the initial offering from the poster, sparking a chain reaction of creative alternatives.

Some folks marveled at the uncanny resemblance of their own cats in the "baguette" or "loaf" position. The position was also jokingly dubbed "semi-sploot" or "fish," emphasizing the pose's unique charm. It is a pose that many are familiar with, but none have coined an official term, hence the necessity of this very important discussion.  Amidst the humorous banter, a sense of community flourished as cat owners found solace in sharing their quirky companions' idiosyncrasies. We love to see how cats bring folks together, especially the silliness that they flaunt.
