I had a small break through with weaning. But it’s not good I think.
Calliope will not lick formula or kitten food off my finger no matter how hard nary she is. She has shown zero interest in slurry her bowl. No interest outside her bottle.
I was playing with her while eating my lunch and she started showing unusual interest in my fingers. I tore off a tiny part of what I was eating. She went crazy! What was I eating? A Cheddar cheese stick.
I experimented a bit more. (Yogurt) Ranch dressing…yes. Nonfat Greek yogurt… yes. She licks and chews but also sucks on my finger. But these things are not good for kitten bellies. She’s chewing enough on the bottle that I’m sure she’s ready for weaning but this is the first thing she’s show any interest in.
I am pretty sure my next step would be baby food. But if that doesn’t work… Then what do I do? I know lactose free yogurt is available, would that be ok? I may be going back to work soon, and I would like her to be n solid food before then.
