I doubt it. Saying sorry or apologizing in Japanese is 'Gomen ne'. In this case, the character at the end is 'sleep'. So it becomes sorry sleep/nap. I couldn't think up an appropriate pun to convey the same meaning in English.

Ah, it is from the pose that a cat can make when sleeping, with it's paws under the had making the the cat look like it's doing dogeza. Hence, it's a three-way pun ねる /cat ねこ/sorry ごめんね. See here for more details (sorry, I couldn't find any decent English sources)

Will it be okay?What are you guys up to?She's... like "a borrowed cat."A common metaphor in Japanese, based on the fact that cats become timid in the face of an unknown or new environment.
