One Squeaky Kitty

Taki has been very vocal about wanting milk while she has been weaning herself off being dropper fed with milk. Not every day does she want milk.  And, of course, because I am more available on weekends, she asks during the days as well in the evenings.

Tonight there was a new behavior. Taki did not directly ask for help. She sat with me in the computer room, and rolled around, played at chewing on herself, and otherwise self groomed, occasionally issuing a squeak. But she did not approach me to ask for milk.  Finally, I decided to offer her some milk.

Lately, I have been mixing up 6 tsps of milk.  She drinks all but a smidgen. I began to wonder if she was leaving the last bit for "just in case." Tonight I made up 8 tsps of milk, and she drank about 6 tsps.

I have this vision of a 15 year old cat who occasionally squeaks for milk, and is dropper fed 6 tsps.
