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.
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.

As fine_sandy_bottom mention
Which means that a cat “loafing” is still standing up instead of laying down
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
