Or for completeness sake, look at this precedent.  From the draft precedents of Shauna of Carrick's Point:
 
Beast -- Cat, Lion and Tiger

[Azure, a cat sejant ermine and on a chief argent a cat s'elongeant sable] The lack of detail on the primary cat reduces its identifiability below the point of comfort. The cat on the chief is in a posture for which registration has not been attempted since the 1970's. This s'elongeant posture certainly blurs the distinction between passant/statant and couchant, two posture categories between which we give a CD. Barring evidence that this posture was used in period armory, s'elongeant is hereby declared unregisterable. [Miriel Gard of Yale, 04/04, R-Caid]
