Correct answer is sitting.

Three scenarios:

No legs folded - standing

Rear legs folded - sitting

All legs folded - laying down

    False. It could be laying down on the sofa with front legs not folded, it wouldn't count as sitting

    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.

    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.

    As fine_sandy_bottom mention

    Folded is the wrong word. Not load bearing signs be better.

    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
