Sweet Babycakes was laid out for her morning nap when her mother Mister Mittens jumped up on the Castro, checked that her daughter was OK, and then hunkered down right behind her for her nap. You cant herd cats but there's no stopping them when they want to be together either. Notice the Momcat's left rear paw making contact with her daughter's tail. That's by design. Cats often sleep together while making some sort of physical contact so if one goes on the alert the other one will immediately wake up even without hearing anything.
