@Colin I think it counts as the same nap. With Penguin, I consider it a new nap if one of a couple things happen. The primary ones are if she moves to a new area or she does an activity the requires fully conscious actions. Examples include cleaning herself, asking for attention, bedtime stories, or guarding me from people. Eating sometimes fits, but only if she asks for extended attention before wandering back to nap
@ToniScott@Colin indeed. I consider it a very important observation as it helps determine the amount of attention she needs when eating. Her food bowl is on my desk, so she always needs at least a single full body pet. But, when she eats in the middle of the nap, she has very focused walk that only minimally acknowledges anything but food. I know then she just needs a single head to tail pet on arrival and exit
@Colin occasionally I might even define a nap in multiple locations to be a single nap. The Bedtime Stories nap is the most common one as she will still sometimes move immediately to sleeping in the tree without any intermediate activity after napping in my legs
