There's something innately reassuring about those kinds of behavior, across so many species - it helps remind me of how much we have in common, even if we sport characteristics that are unique, like opposable thumbs (much to the chagrin of cats), leading to extensive manufacture in everyday life, and the ability to record life in writing.
The latter photo's particularly fun, with that expression and poise, all ready to resume normal service. ^_^ Interesting pattern on the mother - sort of reminds me of a inverse skeleton costume. =:)
(See, fur patterns are another thing humans completely got short-changed on. We only get a fairly modest selection of colors to begin with, and even then, zero patterning! Same with our skins - one tone, and that's your lot, other than palms and soles. Reptiles, meanwhile, sport pretty much every hue under the sun, and probably some we can't even see =:)
