Redsand Canyon Cyberiad theory.

Valiria, for her part, was unperturbed by the removal of her food source. She'd filled her belly not too long ago and had settled down for her fifth nap of the day. So when she began to protest, it wasn't because her mother had cut her off from her milk. It was because she had been jostled awake by the movement.

Deaf though she was to her own cries, she had a natural talent for achieving high marks in both volume and pitch. She cried out indignantly as her mother moved, then cried harder when the siblings around her began to move. She'd barely been jostled in truth, but to the tiny pup, it was as though an earth quake had occurred and she was not a fan.

Liri let that be known with her wails as she too began to shuffle--not towards Towhee (her distress made her blind to the new scents her siblings perhaps found interesting), nor towards Rue. Just away towards what she hoped was a more stable corner of the world. This was bullshit, and she was done with it.
