Kitten-proof houses

Dear Dr. Wise: Our family just adopted its first kitten. It- didn't take long for us to realize that, unless we kitten-proof our house, our inquisitive little Felix will get into trouble Can you suggest ways we can make the house safe for him? Answer: Felix is proof for saying, “curiosity killed the cat." Cats are intelligent creatures who love to explore nooks, crsHics, shelves 2nd othpr hideaways indoors and outdoors. You are wise to make your house kitty-proof. You can start by closing away harmful medications and cleaning chemicals. Rat poison and chemical weed killers are particularly lethal. Cats will lick about anything — including things that are poisonous. If Felix should happen to get his paws on these products, immediately call your veterinarian or local poison control center. Signs of trouble

home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Vanderveer, saw a car with parking lights on near the Vanderveer home. When the gunmen saw Mrs. Purdum they drove west on the country road. When Mrs. Purdum arrived home she saw the broadcast on WNDU-TV and phoned South Bend police. That brought the hunt to Indiana. About 30 potential Trojans turned out at the Milford gym Tuesday night for the year’s first basketball practice session. Coach Fritz Wolferman said it is too early to talk about this year’s prospects, but he said lettermen Pat Speicher, Chuck Fleischauer and Larry Slabaugh would be back. No final approval on Steven Jones’ wrist has been received from his doctor yet. The students elected cheerleaders. They are Carolyn McKibben, Jerry Lippincott, and Dixie Scott

are collapse, convulsion, coughing, depression, diarrhea, redness around the mouth, shock or vomitting. Also remember that cats are not good swimmers, so make sure you never let water stand in sinks or tubs Keep toilet lids closed. Your garbage can could hold dangerous temptation for Felix if the lid is not on tightly. Bones, sharp objects, spoiled -food all could caftse serious injury. Scissors and other tools left lying about also could be a hazard. Bits of yarn, string and rubber bands are tempting playthings that can wind up stuck in kittens’ throats. Also make sure that Felix stays away from electrical cords and outlets as well as fans, washers, dryers and dishwashers. You probably have heard the old wive s tale that cats land on their feet. They don’t. Today, in fact, we are seeing more High Rise Syndrome victims, cats who have fallen out of open upper story windows or have pushed through a window screen. You may find that your houseplants — and Felix — are a dangerous and destructive combination. Cats love greens and

cannot tell the difference between safe and poisonous plants. The poisonous house and outdoor varieties include buttercup, castor bean, choke cherry, cocklebur, dieffenbachia, crotalaria, ivy, lily of the valley, mistletoe, poinsettia, yew and water hemlock. If you find your cat chewing on any of these plants or other unknown plants, take both plant and cat to the veterinarian. He or she can identify the poison and determine how to treat the cat. “Things that go bump in the night” should send you looking for Felix. Kittens’ curiosity can lead them into cabinets, drawers — and unfortunately, under the hoods of cars. You also need to make sure that Felix is out of the way when you close your garage doors. Curiosity and playfulness can bring problems, but they also make cats entertaining pets. I hope you enjoy your new feline friend. The information provided answers problems Indiana veterinarians currently are seeing in their practices as well as new developments in animal care. The report is prepared as a public service by the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association.

Fall bass and spinner baits

Every year in the fall, after the water starts to cool, some of the best fishing takes place. The lakes are beginning to get deserted. The waterskiers and swimmers have gone home. You can fish most of the day without seeing any speedboats. The lakes are cooling rapidly and this sends the bass and other fish on a feeding binge. One of the best lures to fish during this time is the spinnerbait. I like to use the water temperature as a guide. When the water temperature drops into the 60s and until it drops on into the low 50s the spinnerbait can be the very best lure to use. I like to use larger spinnerbaits at this time. The large one-half oz. tandem sizes seem to work very well. The models with large blades are very good at this time. By CHARLESSHANK I like to use the lighter-colored baits, whites and whitechartreuse combinations. I also like to use lures with rubber skirt material. The rubber material has a better action in the cold water. The water will usually start to clear up in the fall and the lighter colored lures seem to work better at this time. Earlier in the year, when the water is discolored, darker lures would probably work better. The weather seems to make a big difference at this time. I do not usually even go fishing on dark, overcast days. I like the days when the sun is shining brightly. The sun is so low in the sky that the fish do not hesitate to move into shallow water. I have tried fishing on many

BEAUTIFUL FALL BASS

cloudy, overcast days and even days when it rains. I have never done as well as I do on bright, sunny days. This pattern is just the reverse of the normal summertime situation. I have caught some of my best fish right after severe cold fronts have moved through and I cannot see a cloud anywhere. Another plus to fishing at this time of year is the size of the fish The fish will be feeding for the coming winter and will weigh more than at other times of the year. I still release most of my fish, though. The female bass seem to be feeding the most and are always the larger bass. You will catch a larger percentage of female bass at this time of year than at any other time. Fishing in the right area is also important at this time of year. I have found that the outside edge of the weedbeds is the best place to fish. I have fished lily pad beds and deep water areas, but the weedbed edges are the best. To effectively fish the outside weedbed edges, you just keep the boat a few feet outside the weedbed. You cast up over the outside

edge into the weetibed. Retrieving your spinnerbait just above the weed tops seems to work best. I have tried different types of retrieves but a steady retrieve seems to work best. Bass cannot react quickly in real cold water. Therefore, fancy retrieves will actually cut down on the number of fish you catch. The fish are definitely affected by the lower temperature and cannot catch a fast-moving, erratic bait. It is important to use heavy line when using larger than normal lures. The large lures tend to snap smaller line when you try to east. The bass will usually dive right into the weedbed when hooked and heavy line will allow you to control them and keep many fish from getting loose. I don’t hesitate to use 20 pound test line for fishing these larger spinnerbaits. I have not lost as many fish or lures as I used to when I fished with 12 pound test line. This fall, when those large leaves are falling and the sun is shining brightly, tie on your biggest spinnerbait .and head for your favorite lake. You could catch your biggest bass of the season.
