if my cats are any indication of true cat behavior, my guess is mama cat here isn't hugging the kitten but making it stop moving because it's disturbing her sleep!

That was where I learned my sneaky ways. Soon I mastered the art of getting off the bed without moving the mattress so I could escape.

It was necessary in order to perform my essential early morning rituals. Such as waiting for the test pattern on the TV to finish and see the cartoons!

But it is a gentle way to calm the behavior rather than pushing the kitten away.
