Today during my 3-Blue class at school, three of my students came to me with a big box saying that the box was for me. I peered into the box and, at firs,t could not see anything. When I opened it some more, I saw two little yellow-green eyes looking back at me. The eyes belong to a little black cat that my students decided to give to me because they were sorry I lost D’Argo.

I had to spend the rest of the afternoon with the cat sitting in his box with a blanket the students bought for him. He could not get out of the box. He is very timid and shy. This second cat has been named Harvey after John Crichton’s neural clone out of the science fiction television show Farscape. Since we brought him home, Harvey refuses to leave the upstairs bathroom or indeed leave the litter box we have set up for him there. I am hopeful that he will settle down and adjust in a few days.

Meanwhile, Puck is doing much better. He is running around the house and does very well considering he has just three legs. He is not too fond of Harvey and keeps hissing at him. From what I have been reading, this should subside as the two cats get used to each other. It will just take a little time.
