Lucy & Wubert
Well, the verdict is in–and the verdict is Wubert is cool.
Lucy has recently begun smiling at Wubert, and is learning to pet him gently. She even giggles at him occasionally. This after months of being oblivious to his presence, then wary of it.
He has always been interested in her, sniffing her when possible, and napping wherever she has been. Often when returning from an outing I’ll find evidence that every inch of her bed has been stepped on by little cat feet (dimples in the bedding, not what you’re thinking! That’s gross!).
He has always acted as her self-appointed guardian, doing sentry duty at the doorway if she is sleeping in the bedroom, and rushing to her aid whenever he hears her cry (which can be frustrating for him if she is behind closed doors.)
Now that her grabbing and grasping abilities are in full swing, he will discretely place himself just out of reach when sitting near her. Wise move!
He does allow her to pet him, and Mommy is of course careful to show her the flat open hand pet, and prevent ear or tail pulling. Of course her siamese stuffed animals get less gentle treatment…
Overall I’d say the big brother/little sister relationship is going well.

Well, of course Wubert is cool. Was there ever any doubt?
