Update on Wonder
Wonder loves to lay on his back!

Hi All!
I guess I need to be a little bit better about updating this now. 
Wonder became a big brother last August! A little red kitten that my mom found made her way to my home. Her name is Ada Grace, and she’ll be a year old next month. She’s the sweetest little girl. Wonder loves her to pieces! Wonder and Ada are always rough-housing, causing trouble, and playing together. They’re particularly in love with bathroom and kitchen cabinets. Makes for good cat places.
Last year, I got to see just how amazing Wonder’s presence is to my other cats. I moved into a bigger apartment with Pixie, Lola, and Wonder last April. Lola, who is sighted, got carsick and hid behind the washing machine for two hours. Poor Pixie, my other blindy, was TERRIFIED and wouldn’t come out of her carrier for nearly four hours. Wonder, of course, thought he was in a theme park! He was the first one out of the carrier and he quickly set out to inspect everything. I brought a few things from our old house so the cats could feel comfortable, blankets and pillows that had our old-house smell on it. But Wonder couldn’t be bothered with that. He hopped on boxes, hopped IN boxes, checked out all the rooms. He had a BLAST! Since Pixie always seeks comfort from me, I knew that my bed had to be set up before anything else. I left all of the bedding the same so that it would smell like our old house, so it would provide the strongest and quickest comfort to Pixie. Once that was done, I brought her carrier into my bedroom and tried to coax her out. She refused. But when Wonder came sniffing his way into my room, I started talking to him. Pixie could tell from the tone of my voice that Wonder was getting closer. Knowing that her brother was close by helped her to overcome her fear, and she slowly came out of her carrier. I was surprised, as moving day continued, that Pixie was making such great progress. Spurred on by Wonder’s excitement, Pixie gained the confidence to wander around our new home. Quite a change from the cat who hid under my bed for two weeks after we moved into our old house!
A year later, and all is status quo. Wonder is best friends with both Lola and Ada. Pixie is still the alpha and she doesn’t hesitate to let the girls know it! Unfortunately for her, Wonder won’t think twice about defending his girls! Pixie percieves it as a beatdown, Wonder thinks he’s playing. They definitely keep me entertained!
