My sister's Silky would carry around a squeaky dragon toy she seemed to think was her baby shortly after her heat cycles, whining at times and curling up with it to sleep during naps and nighttime and trying to prevent others from touching or getting it. After a few weeks, she was back shaking and growling and tossing it up in the air and catching it and biting, treating it like a toy again. My sister thought her behavior was always related to her hormones and mommy-role she sometimes took on for a while and just let her be.
