For many people, a loaf of bread is something to eat.

In the world of pets, however, this word is used to describe the way that cats sit when they bend their paws and push them under their bodies.

Visually, it looks something akin to a loaf of bread, hence the term "loaf" sitting or "loafing."

This style of lounging is generally a habit of cats, but Avka the dog apparently didn't get the memo.

Avka grew up with Lucy – her older cat sibling – since she was a puppy. Two years later, Avka learned a few things from her animal role model!

The result of this is that the dog now occasionally sits on the sofa in the loaf position, a strange and adorable sight to behold.

Photos showing the pup's unique way of sitting went viral on TikTok at the end of March.

Rachel told Newsweek that Avka and Lucy have an "adorable frenemies relationship," adding that the dog has picked up even more of the kitty's habits!

"There have been a few other cat-like behaviors I've seen from Avka," Rachel said.

"She likes to sit and walk on the top headrest part of couches as Lucy does, and she 'slaps' like a cat whenever she plays with other dogs."

Despite their differences, Lucy is obviously a great role model for the pooch!

In any case, the odd couple animal siblings provide a lot of fun for the TikTok audience!
