TruetohispromiseDis- trict Attorney Gernon is bringing the missing detec- tive, A. H. Stewart, back to Red Bluff. Sheriff Boyd cap- tured him in San Francisco yesterday and will be here with him this morning. The coming of the false and friv- olous Mr. Stewart is likely to befollowedbysomeinterest- ing disclosures, as it was re- portedlastnightthathehad made a confession touching the alleged bribery charges, and that some citizens of more or less local conse- quence may find themselves inanembarrassingposition. However this may be the district attorney will re- quire the detective to ex- plain some things that at present are being used by blind pig sympathizers to cast reflections on the effi- ciency of the officers, and to discredit the men who are interested in the enforce- ment of the local option law. It would not be surpris- ing that Mr. Stewart in or- der to save his won hide will cough up a lot of informa- tion to show the manner in which bootleggers are snap- ping their fingers in the face of the law, and defying the officers to catch them. It is generally believed that the detective worked both ends of the game and that he accepted money from the men who are try- ing to enforce the law and then sold out to the bootleg- gers. He will have a chance to explain. In the meantime it is said that the blind pig- gers are not well enough pleased with his return to Red Bluff to meet him at the train with a brass band, andgivehimabanquet.The prosecution of the cases now on the docket have paled into insignificance in anticipation of what else may happen. — March 28, 1915 100YEARSAGO... Detective of uncertain methods is expected to explain disappearance "Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never for got t en this." While cats cannot thank the anonymous author for this tru- ism, they might want to thank Richard II of England, who issued an edict for- bidding the consumption of cats on March 28, 1384, a day now celebrated in some circles as "Respect Your Cat Day." Many cats would heartily agree that it is the perfect day to pay homage to the furry fe- line group. So, how do we "Re- spect" our cats? We begin by attempting to under- stand their traits, foibles and unique characteris- tics. One commonality seen in all cats is their tongue, often described as feeling like sandpaper when one is licked by it. Filiform papillae, small, backward-facing barbs covering the center, help cats hold and scrape flesh from the bones of prey. Their spines help remove dirt and loose hair during self-grooming, thus con- tributing to those ever- loved hairballs. Every cat, except the cheetah, has protractible and re- tractable claws, a distinct advantage when stalking prey. Cats also have ex- cellent night vision, an acute sense of smell and exceptional hearing, all of which contribute to cats being amazing hunters. Until recently, it was gen- erally believed that only the "smaller" cats of the genus Felis (domestic, bobcats, ocelots, lynxes, cougars, etc.) purred, the exception, again, being the cheetah. However, the "big" cats of the Panthera genus (lions, tigers, leop- ards, jaguars) can pro- duce sounds similar to purring while exhaling. Much of the behav- ior of cats is reflective of their predatory nature. When they hunt, they ei- ther stalk prey or wait to ambush it. Most breeds of cat are fond of roost- ing in high places. The height is believed to not only provide an excel- lent location from which to pounce, but it also al- lows a better point from which to observe sur- rounding territory. Play, especially in kittens, is important because it mimics survival skills. It assists in the learning of how to stalk and capture quarry. In addition, play- fighting with cats or hu- mans is a way to practice combat skills and to re- duce the fear associated with launching attacks on other animals. Another normal be- havior is scratching. The scratching occurs for var- ious reasons: to mark ter- ritory visually and with a scent secreted by glands located on the cat's paws, to remove the dead outer layer of the front claws and to stretch and flex the cat's body, feet, and claws. Having respect for your cat is making an ef- fort to support its natu- ral needs. Since cats have a strong prey drive, pro- vide toys that let them practice their hunting skills. Some will like toys they can throw around and chase after. Other cats want you to partic- ipate by using toys that you dangle and wig- gle in front of them. Cat trees or kitty condos with room to scratch or climb and cubby holes to escape into, gives a cat multiple ways to exercise muscles, sharpen claws, and rise above its surroundings. Even though cats are ef- ficient self-groomers, if they have long hair, shed a lot, or are older consider regular grooming peri- ods. It can definitely help the hairball situation. Cats are actually social animals and not as aloof as often claimed. It is an old myth that cats are sol- itary creatures who do not enjoy the company of humans or other cats. Those of us who live with cats have experienced nu- merous instances of them following us to the bath- room, making their way onto our laps or under our covers at night and have watched them groom and play with their other fe- line friends. Therefore, if you have a one cat house- hold, consider adopting another. Today would be a perfect time, since the Tehama County An- imal Care Center in Red Bluff is also celebrating "Respect Your Cat Day" by offering substantially discounted adoption fees. Respect is defined as understanding that some- one or something is im- portant and should be treated in an appropriate way. Understanding your cat's true character, rec- ognizing and supporting its natural behaviors, is what respecting your cat is all about.
