The random crying has stopped but baby girl has learned that being vocal works for things she wants 😆
She tried whimpering to go outside yesterday, she sooks for the heater to go on, and today she cried for me to unblock the chair and lift her up. (She’s perfectly capable of jumping but I’m trying to spare her knees)
Lucky. Misha just comes into my office and screches at me.
Does she want a chair moved to unblock the sunlight? More food? Outside? Is there puke in an unseemly place? Has the water fountain been upturned? Who knows, she uses the same noise for all of the above.
It's like being told off by a rusty door.
It’s hard to figure out sometimes. Luckily she’ll sometimes do it in that specific area (heater, chair, door), paw at something, or there’s a context clue like she’s just used the litterbox and might want it cleaned.
For food she just quietly walks into the kitchen and sits near the fridge.
