Taki is weaning off of milk, and we have had many mixed signals about whether or not she wants to drink milk. Last week, I went home at lunch daily, and there was maybe one day that she actually drank milk. I made up a lot of milk, which after a certain time period, I would just throw away. She did not want it from the medicine dropper, and she did not want it in a dish.
Today, I made sure there was plenty of canned food out when I left for work this morning. There is always lots of dry food out. Taki occasionally noshes at that, but it is not her favorite, I can tell. I did not go home at lunch to check on or feed the cats. So, tonight when I did get home, the adult cats were cool, but Taki was very hungry, and she ate well. She even cried for and drank some milk from the medicine dropper (2 droppers full.)
Later on in the evening, she gave out a couple of cries as if for milk. I was involved in a project, so my response was delayed. I felt very badly when I found her: she had got stuck in a strap and could not extricate herself. She was breathing, so that was good. But she was scared, and so was I. I removed the strap from her reach, and praised God that this had not happened when I was not home.
She is out and about playing now. She has squeaked for attention a couple of times tonight, but is happy to eat solid food vs. drinking milk from a medicine dropper.
