Nermal protecting our sick kindergardener

First let me give you a size reference for our cat.
I am 5ft 3in tall. My oldest daughter (in picture) is 5 yrs old and EXTREMELY tall. The top of her head is at hte top of my shoulder with out shoes on. So that will tell you just how big this cat is lying on her lol. She was really sick with the flu for 2 wks and the cat didnt leave her side.
