QUANTITY RIGHTS RISIRVIO ^ 1 THE TIMES’* PRIZE-WINNING COLUMN From ALMAR FARM In Transylvania BY CAL CARPENTER In addition to the people, ALMAR Farm has a rare col lection of animal “characters” • - for want of a better word. There’s Benji, Emma Lou’s African Bassenji dog; Haole. our big, 125-lb. German Shep herd; Stanislouse and Frankie, our pair of Russian wild hogs: Sweetheart, the half-Arabian mare; Rasputin “Rass,” the Muscovy drake; Snowflake, the white Durham cow; and, prob ably the most characteristic “character” of all, our big, bat tle scarred old tomcat, “Klig,” short for Caligula. Living on the farm these last seven years has taught Us that animals have more individual “personality” than we ever realized before. If you get to know them well enough, we’ve discovered, each one is quite different from the others of his kind— even the chickens we used to have. But, of course, we’ve noticed more individualism in cats and dogs — probably because they are “house pets” and we’re closer to them. It’s this way we’ve come to ap preciate the characters of Haole and Klig and decide that Klig is the biggest “character.” Catlike, and unlike a dog, Klig is wholly independent. He obeys nothing but the calls of nature. He shows up at the house and demands to be let in and fed at his convenience, not ours. He demands special food — usually sliced Ameri can cheese and bologna — and wants it fed to him a bite at a time after ha’s hepped up in my lap as I sit on the kitchen stool that Marge uses to reach the higher cabinets. Sometimes he is affection ate, as he is now, sitting on my knee as I write this. Other times he demands to be let in, “Meowrrrrs” util he's had his favorite feeding, and then stalks to the door with an order for it to he opened. He might come in every morning and evening for a while, to pick at his rat food and milk bowls that are always on a piece of fold ed newspaper in the kitchen floor and then demand his special feeding; or rear up on my leg as I sit at the table, squinch his sharp claws, and demand part of my break fast or dinner. Then he might disappear for days or a week and finally return dirty, scratched and cut up, and ready to eat and rest up be fore another prowl. Some evenings he might come in to where I’m sitting in my easy chair watching TV and curl up on the chair arm. or stretch out on my chest, his paws on either side of my neck, looking me in the eyes and purring like a buzz saw. Other evenings, after he’s had his special feeding, he’ll stretch out and lie on the porch near Marge and me while we sit in the porch chairs enjoying the view and the peace and beauty of a summer evening — appar ently just likes to be near us. Haole is with us at these times too, but he’s been train ed to leave the cat alone. He studiously ignores him, but all the time keeps him in sight out of the corner of his eye. Unfortunately, there’s no way to train the cat to leave Haole alone, and Klig, very human like, has learned to take ad vantage of our portection and bully the big dog. If Haole has a place Klig wants, the cat will stalk over to him, say “Meowrrr,’’ and poor Haole moves. If I start to pet and talk to Haole, Klig will come over, "Meowrrr” once, and poor Haole slinks away. Marge doesn’t like this bully ing of her favorite pet. and she scolds the cat and calls Haole to her chair. Klig doesn’t seem to mind that. I’m his fav orite it seems. This fifteen - pound cat bullying a 125-lb. dog gets ludicrous at times. The oth er morning Marge opened the back door at 7:00 o’clock to let Haole in so Emma Lou could take Benji for his morning walk, our usual pro cedure to prevent a dog fight between Haole and Benji — since they’ve never learned to get along together. Klig was waiting outside too. and as usual, there was a race to see who got in first. Haole was originally ahead, but Klig darted in front of him. Haole stopped, bewilder ed looking, and the belligerent tomcat reared up on his haunch es and slapped both paws, with their murderous claws, on Haole’s nose — one on either side. For a split second, the tomcat stood there, face to face with the dog that could bite him in two with one snap. The cat didn’t scratch, just held Haole’s nose and seemed to be saying: “Allright, Buddy, now back up. You ain’t going in ahead of me!” Haole just stood, stunned. He then let out a shocked •’Owwooo” and backed up. Klig stalked through the door as Marge scolded him fcr bullying her patient, lov able dog. And then the other evening I let Klig out the front door. He’d had his favorite feeding and I suppose he was in no mood to watch television with Haole was lying in one of his favorite places, right in front of the door. He stood up as I opened the door for the cat, looking at me. While the dog’s attention was divert ed, Klig calmly walked be hind him, put his head down and bit him gently on the ankle! Haole jumped like he was shot; and I can understand, for I’ve had Klig do the same thing to me when I’m fixing breakfast in the morning in my robe and bedroom slippers. He doesn't bite hard — just gently but his teeth are sharp and it’s quite a shock when you don’t expect it. I don’t really know wheth er the cat is bullying Haole in all these things or if it is just his way of being affec tionate to a traditional enemy with whom a human - enforc ed peace has been made. And I’m sure Haole doesn’t know either. I just hope Haole doesn’t revert to character some dark night or some day when Marge and I are not home. I could lose a cat that way. Gas and heartburn?
