Yes I love this! I'm thinking maybe Cherry and Cow could find themselves by Haven Springs for example and Cow mentions that she is a little nervous over Springkit's first swimming lesson but knows that she should also let other cats teach him so she can't be there. Cherry could mention that she is going to be leading a swimming lesson soon and that she can keep an eye on Spring, and that would kinda be how Cow and Cherry get to know each other? Then the mother-daughter thing might eventually grow form that
Another idea I got while reading through Cherry's bio was about her dismissing her own struggles with humor. Cow might be cheeky and joke around a lot, but I'm imagining Cherry brushing something off with a little joke and Cow just stopping and glancing at and checking on her bc she knows when humor is fun and messing around and when it's hiding smth
