A few of years ago, I knitted a baby blanket that did not meet my standards, so I kept it. Recently, Taki has taken possession of it. In the past, I have seen her grab an afghan in her mouth, and knead on it.
Well, I am seeing her do this with this baby blanket regularly and frequently. Not only does she knead on the baby blanket, but as she does so, she and the blanket move as she kneads.
Sometimes, I happen upon her when she is doing this. At first, she would totally stop, and move away from the blanket, as if she thought or knew she was doing something wrong. I have never stopped her from this behavior, or corrected her in any way. So, now, she does not always stop her behavior if I happen upon her, although sometimes, she does. But,the baby blanket moves around the house, when I am not home, which tells me that Taki spends some time kneading and moving the blanket. Good for her.
My hope is that she will be comfortable doing this behavior, and continue to do it, even if I see her doing it!
