Disabled members of all ages and all senior citizens of the community are again invited to be VIPs at 4-H Fun Night. VIP Hour will be held 3-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, at the Tehama District Fairground Auditorium. VIP Hour allows VIPs to roam the auditorium with- out feeling pushed or hur- ried, even though they are welcome to stay as long as they like. All of our VIPs will re- ceive trinkets after play- ing games created and run by 4-H members as well as purchase a family friendly meal for $4 a plate during VIP Hour. The Fun Night commit- tee hopes the attendance doubles from 2015, the first year they held VIP Hour. Fun Night is the only county fundraiser for the 4-H program of Tehama County. It's one night filled with carnival-style game booths hosted by all of the 4-H clubs in the county, si- lent auction, concessions, dinner and live entertain- ment. From 4-8:30 p.m., the event is free to the general public and families can play for only 25 cents a game.

Abner Barnard is now lodged in the county jail on a charge of assault with intent to commit murder. He gave himself up early yesterday morning, an- nouncing his intentions to the Mitchell family, at Paskenta. Sheriff Boyd was given his message by tele- phone and made a trip out there Saturday afternoon, arriving in Red Bluff about five o'clock in the evening. Barnard attacked two women living alone on a ranch near Paskenta and in an attempt to kill one, shot the older woman in the cheek. He made his es- cape and the officers and posse were unable to lo- cate him. He was found Thurs- day evening by an Indian in the employ of Mitch- ell. Barnard had been working for Mitchell on a ranch near Henleyville and knew the ranch house was unoccupied as the Mitchells had returned to the home place near Paskenta after putting in a crop on the Henleyville ranch. He also knew there was food in the house and evidently intended to stay there for a time. Mitch- ell sent the Indian to the Henleyville ranch on un- expected business and Barnard was found in the house. As soon as he learned the woman, Mrs. Uhl, who he shot was not dead, he said he was ready to give himself up. He returned to the Mitch- ell home near Paskenta yesterday morning. —Jan.16,1916 100 YEARS AGO...

Any cat guardian would say, "Absolutely!" For those not as well versed in fe- line behav- ior, it is not be as diffi- cult as you may think. While be- ing chatty may not always be indic- ative of being jovial, kit- tens will typically be the most vocal in letting you know if they are happy or not. Just listening will of- ten give a good indication. If you are petting your cat and he is purring, chances are he is quite comfort- able with the situation and is pleased. Quiet cats may express happiness with si- lence, and if they are dis- pleased, you may find them becoming more vo- cal. Generally, the shorter, higher-pitched sounds are more "happy" while lon- ger, lower pitched sounds can be indicative of hun- ger, pain, or even anger. A joyful cat's tail will stand straight up with just the tip crooked, signal- ing a pleasant greeting to anyone he deems a friend. When a dog wags his tail, he is letting you know he is happy. When a cat wags his tail, he is not! Tail lashing, those large back and forth swishing move- ments, indicate the cat is distressed and is warning you to back off or suffer the consequences! A relaxed cat will rest with its front paws tucked under, its ears and whis- kers slightly forward, and its eyes in a half-closed "sleepy" position. Tense cats will hold whiskers closer to the face and flatten the ears. Consider it threaten- ing when a cat stares. Slow blinks, however, are consid- ered a sign of affection. If you find your cat laying on his back with all his legs in the air, you are looking at one very relaxed kitty. A very kitten-like be- havior is kneading. When a cat feels happy, he will often start pressing his paws as if he was knead- ing dough. A nursing kit- ten instinctually kneads to help stimulate its mother's milk flow. Though kneading a soft surface, like a blanket or your abdomen, does not yield milk, adult cats will associate the motion with the comfort of nursing. So, if your cat is kneading your lap while you are petting him, he is letting you know you he is quite content. Has your cat ever climbed up onto you and butted his head against your chin or forehead? If he has, then he is show- ing you some affection. Cats have scent glands on their face and it is a very common social behav- ior among feline friends. The pheromones (the chemicals secreted by the glands) located along the cheek and on the cat's head are associated with affection and friendliness. Cats will rub their faces on people or objects when they feel comfortable. Felines who feel fine about themselves stay well groomed. In addi- tion, multiple cats that are happy with each other will groom one another. Re- member that healthy cats are happy cats, so be sure to schedule regular vet- erinarian visits. It is not a bad idea to get your cat accustomed to the car- rier before that trip to the vet. You will both be much happier as a result. Kittens play nonstop. As cats mature, play ac- tivity will diminish. Nev- ertheless, any amount of play indicates feline happi- ness. Cats play with other animals that they like and trust. If your cat isolates itself and hides from the world, something is defi- nitely wrong. One of the easiest ways to make a cat happy is with a new toy. Cats are natural hunters and love chasing, pounc- ing, and stalking prey. Cheerful cats will show interest in their environ- ment. Walking cats on a leash with a harness, or al- lowing them access to a secure outdoor enclosure allows them to experience, safely, the world outside their window. Happy cats also have strong appetites. Any de- crease in appetite indi- cates something amiss. Working for food can also make a cat happy because it, too, channels those nat- ural hunting instincts. One option is to hide food in different places so your cat has to "hunt" for it. Contrary to some opin- ions, cats are social ani- mals and a playmate can assist in adding extra joy to their life. Believe it or not, often two cats are eas- ier to care for than one. Therefore, consider adopt- ing another feline from the Tehama County An- imal Care Center. Many wonderful cats are sitting in the shelter, just waiting for someone to give them a loving home with a new human best friend.
