Trending footage shows the two-year-old Xiao Xi enjoying a blissful afternoon nap while her five family cats snuggled up to her at their home in northern China’s Hebei Province.
Ms Chen, Xiao Xi’s mother, told MailOnline that her daughter had shared a close bond with the moggies who loved staying cosy with their little owner.

Ms Chen, a photography lover, has been documenting the precious friendship between her children and the family pets online since September 2019 when she and her husband adopted their first cat, a ginger stray named Wang Cai.
Within just over a year, the couple with a boy and a girl welcomed four more rescue cats and a stray beagle into their home in the city of Shijiazhuang.
Soon after Wang Cai settled in, the Chinese mother stumbled across an adorable moment one day when she spotted the cat snuggling up to her two-year-old daughter on the couch.
‘Xiao Xi was falling asleep on the couch and Wang Cai was next to her, staring at her with a loving look,’ Ms Chen told MailOnline. ‘After a while, Wang Cai snuggled up to Xiao Xi and fell asleep.
‘I was so touched by what I saw,’ the parent added. ‘It really warmed my heart and I also felt bad for Wang Cai. I thought maybe he saw Xiao Xi as a mother or a sibling.
‘He was really little when we found him, all alone in the rain. It was really sad,’ Ms Chen said.

Since then, the family cat and his little owner’s afternoon nap became a daily routine. Over the past year, their snooze sessions welcomed new participants as the other cats who arrived at their home gradually joined in.
In one clip filmed by Ms Chen last Monday, Xiao Xi is seen drifting into her sweet dreams as the family cats jumped onto the bed one after another.
After finding their own favourite spot next to the little girl, the moggies lay down and slowly closed their eyes as they fell into blissful sleep.
The footage quickly became trending after Ms Chen shared it on Chinese social media with her nearly one million followers who described the two-minute video as ‘healing’ and ‘heart-warming’.

One commenter wrote: ‘Your videos are always so healing and heart-warming! What a lucky little girl.’
Another user said: ‘Everyone is sleeping with their paws up, meaning that they are very relaxed. Cats and dogs would only sleep like this when they are in an environment they are completely comfortable with.’
Last year, an adorable video of a little girl taking a nap with her two pets warmed the hearts of millions in China.
The three-year-old girl is seen holding her pet cat, ‘Motor’, in her arms while being spooned by her golden retriever, Dabao, as the trio enjoyed an afternoon snooze at their home in northeast China’s Heilongjiang province.
