Feline Posture Record 073-O

Catalogue designation: Orange Cat Version 1
Related records: 051, Black Cat; 052, Tuxedo Cat
Primary question: How much of this apparently round animal is posture?

The cat settles on a folded cloth.

Its paws disappear beneath its body.

Its tail curves around the front.

Records looks from the cat to the intake photograph.

Records

Orange loaf.

Z. Omb

A useful posture description.

Records

No objection?

Z. Omb

Not to a useful description.

The cat closes its eyes.

Records lowers their voice.

The body looks compact and nearly continuous.

No paws are visible from the front.

Records

Same arrangement as the black and tuxedo cats.

Z. Omb

Broadly similar. We should record this individual’s position rather than assume every joint is arranged identically.

Omb sets the camera at cloth level.

The cat opens one eye.

Omb stops moving.

The eye closes again.

Records

Camera placement reviewed.

Z. Omb

We can work from here.

No attempt is made to lift the cat or pull a paw out for the photograph.

After several minutes, the cat stretches one foreleg.

A paw emerges.

The body becomes less round.

Then the leg folds back underneath.

Records

There is the missing anatomy.

Z. Omb

Previously concealed anatomy.

Records

And now concealed again.

The movement supplies a useful sequence:

compact posture → extension → compact posture

The animal has not changed size between photographs.

Its visible outline has.

The tail stays around the front for most of the session.

When the cat adjusts its body, the tail moves with it.

Its tip briefly rests over the edge of the cloth.

Records

Is it keeping itself warm?

Z. Omb

That is a possible function. We have not measured heat loss or compared conditions.

Records

Comfort?

Z. Omb

Also plausible.

Records

The cat has provided no written explanation.

Z. Omb

It has provided repeated behaviour. That is a reasonable place to start.

Omb records the tail position without assigning a single cause.

The ears make small movements while the eyes remain closed.

Records shifts a page.

One ear turns toward the sound.

The cat does not lift its head.

Records

Asleep, but listening?

Z. Omb

We have not established sleep.

Records

Eyes closed.

Z. Omb

An observation, not a complete sleep measurement.

A moment later, the cat opens both eyes and looks at the page.

Records sets it down.

Records

Resting, with administrative awareness.

Z. Omb

Resting and responsive during this interval.

The cat closes its eyes again.

Omb brings out the photographs from records 051 and 052.

Three similar resting outlines now sit beside one another.

Black.

Black and white.

Orange.

Records

The orange one looks rounder.

Z. Omb

We should compare outlines before attributing that to colour.

The images differ in angle and scale.

Omb does not use them to rank body shape.

Instead, Records traces the silhouettes on separate sheets.

Records

So a proper comparison needs matching views.

Z. Omb

Yes. Colour, shading, posture and camera angle can all contribute to the impression.

Records writes a heading:

ROUNDNESS: COMPARISON NOT YET CONTROLLED

The cat eventually gets up.

Four limbs are visible.

It stretches, steps off the cloth and approaches Omb.

Omb offers a still hand.

The cat presses its cheek against it.

The observation session pauses.

Records

We have enough photographs.

Omb continues gently scratching the offered cheek.

Z. Omb

Yes.

Records

The research has ended.

Z. Omb

The interaction has not.
