We Are Their Voice ™ Caption Contest: Mother’s Day Edition

Nobody’s more protective and loving with their babies than a mama cat—but after a few weeks of caring for her kittens, we can’t blame this mama for needing a break! Let’s hope she gets a good fur massage and eats a slice of tuna—uninterrupted— for Mother’s Day.

Caption away!

Congratulations to last week’s winner, Mandy.
