noun
cat loaf; cat sitting with paws and tail tucked under
Colloquial term for a cat's posture where it sits with its front paws and tail tucked neatly under its body, resembling a traditional incense box (香箱).
うちの猫が香箱座りで日向ぼっこしている。
Our cat is basking in the sun in a cat loaf position.
From 香箱 (こうばこ, 'incense box') + 座り (すわり, 'sitting'), because the cat's tucked posture resembles the shape of a traditional incense box.
