to shrimp

Definition

To curl your body into a tight, compact position with your head close to your torso and legs stretched out, creating a shape that mirrors a shrimp. Cats excel at this and honestly make it look way more comfortable than it probably is.

Example Usage

My cat can shrimp for hours without complaining, meanwhile I shrimp for five seconds and my back is screaming.
