As to the question in your title, she is doing so, because your mother cat is her friend. But the problem is, your mother cat has "moved on" and "settled down", she no longer has time for the party life of carefree snuggles; she is mostly concerned with her kittens.

I can think of three solutions:

Try to shower the non-mother cat with as much love and affection as you can to fill the gap left by your mother cat
Get her another cat friend, although, as you may know, this could easily go wrong and the new cat might not get along with either of your existing cats
I would be very hesitant of this third option as there are already so many cats without homes, but if she was also had kittens of her own, that may keep her more occupied and she would not have to bother your other cat
