BCmewur by H. JACK MIDDLETON, ParißA Cat Can Ctntar Naming Your Cat Choosing a name for a cat can be difficult — but it’s fun. Cats are rugged, proud individualists. Their individualism and their aristocratic bearing and manner, often seems to call for nahtes that match. I’ve heard of cats named Lord Nelson. King Oliver, Regina, Sabina. Your Majesty. Mr. Justice and Mercedes. On the other hand, there have also been cats named Lucretia, lago. Bullion and Beggar. Nicest thing about naming cats is that you can let your imagination roam. ‘ . . I can’t suggest a name for the cat you own. That’s a job only you can do, shite each owner Knows best how his cat behaves and what name would complement his cat’s personality or markings. But it’s a sure bet • you’ll have fun picking a name. A suggestion from the Purina Cat Care Center: Once you’ve en a name for your pet, stick {•> it. Changing the name, or addressing your cat as ‘‘Kitty 1 ’’ will only confuse him. Use the same name constantly and your cat will soon learn to respond to your calls. A purebred cat with a pedigree may have a long, fancy, registered name that you find too cum. bersome for everyday use. If so, choose a special nickname for your little aristocrat — but again, make sure you use that name kll /T:.e time.

Prepared by . American Foundation for Animal Health The increase of rabies among wild animals in recent years has brought with it increased losses in farm animals due to this disease. Although people think of rabies as most often occurring in dogs, the fact is that campaigns of protective vaccination have brought about a continuing duop in the number of canine cases. Recently, there has been a marked increase in rabies -among skunks, rabbits and raccoons. For instance, there were 28 confirmed cases of rabies iniskunks in Ohio in 1961. But in tfie following year, the number had climbed sharply to 3io : Skunks, ' raccoons, foxes and bats pose the chief threat of transmitting rabies to farm animals. Generally, the first sign of rabies in livestock is a change in behavior. Animals may §top eating and drinking and may seek out dark places in which to hide. In cattle there may be a stop in the flow of milk and the animals,

J-« - Rabid wild animals are becoming as increasing hazard to farm livestock. instead of looking contented, may appear alert and anxious. Another sign in cattle is a prolonged hoarse bellow repeated at frequent intervals. Sick horses may show signs of pain such as in colic and indigestion and they may bite or strike viciously. Rabies often is confused with digestive disorder, injury, a foreign object lodged in the throat or mouth, poisoning or the beginning an infectious disease. In View of all these confusing aymptoms it is doubly important that a veterinarian make a diagnosis if any of the symptoms appear. If rabies is diagnosed, immediate steps need to be taken to safeguard other animals. If valuable cattle and horses are exposed to rabies they should be vaccinated. This procedure should be left to a veterinarian because the method and type of vaccination is very important in building proper immunity.
