He forbade me to have his cat neutered for fear it would alter it£ per­ sonality. A cat-loving neighbor, who doesn't own a cat, feeds all the strays in the neighborhood, including one wild female who keeps having one batch of kittens after another. The Humane Society has tried unsuc­ cessfully to trap this wild female. Meanwhile male cats, come from near and far to breed with this Wild female. This neighbor has/volunteered to pay to have my son's cat neutered, but I resent having my^ cat singled out for neutering. I say as long as this cat lover feeds tfyat wild stray, she'll stay, right? What should I db? CAT CRAZY IN MURRAY, KY. DEAR CAT CRAZY: As long as your son's cat stays with you, it's your responsibility to keep him locked up. And if you can't do that, he should be neutered. Contrary to your son's fears, neutering will not alter the cat's per­ sonality. Because stray (wild) animals that forage for food frequently fall victim to diseases (rabies, for example!, putting children and pets at risk, your Humane Society should try harder to catch the wild female and put an end to her reproducing all over the neighborhood. And unless you keep your Romeq from the , neighborhood Juliet, you are compounding a "feliney.\ (Sorry). • » • DEAR ABBY: 1 am a 15-year-old sophomore girl in high school. It seems the older guys are attracted to me. Not real old--19,20,21 and 22. Right now this guy who is 20 likes me. I am not jnvolved with him, he just likes me. v My friends say he's jailbait. Exactly what is "jailbait," Abby? I was going with a guy who is 19. Was he Jailbait, too? NEEDSHELP IN DALLAS DEAR NEEDS: The terjn "jailbait" is ap­ plied to girls under the age of consent with whom sexual intercourse is unlawful and con­ stitutes statutory rape. Underage girls^iot guys-are "jailbait." DEAR ABBY: I've been dating "Doug" off and on for four years. During a time when we were "off," he had a little vacatidh romance with a California girl he met in Aspen. Til call her Sheila. Then he started dating me again. Sheila kept writing and calling him, assum­ ing there was a future for them, but he assured me that he loved me, so we continued seeing each other. Five months ago Sheila came to visit him. He felt that since she made the trip, he owed her a few evenings alone. He hoped I'd understand his situation. Well, I didn't understand. He refused to introduce us, which upset me ter­ ribly. We broke up for about a month, then resumed our relationship more in love than ever. He even started talking marriage. Now I learn that Sheila is pregnant, and she told Doug that the baby is his. There's a ques­ tion in his mind because she had been dating another guy at the same time. She is now five months along, but nothing can be certain until aftfcr the baby is born and blood tests are taken. Doug says he loves me and doesn't want this mess to come between us. He says that even if the baby is his, he won't marry her, and wants nothing to do with the child. All he wants is me. What should I do? I really love him. IN DEEP IN DENVER DEAR IN: I think he's shown his colors; and there's more yellow than true blue. A man who has sex with a woman, whether he "loves" her or not, should take responsibility for his ac­ tions. If he's man enough to make a baby, he should be man enough to shoulder the financial (if not the emotional) responsibilities of fatherhood. I'd lose this loser.

Box 3f923, Hollywood, Calif. 90038) HOUSTON (UPI) - A teenager found guilty of drug possession has been barred from attending Grateful Dead concerts for five years by a judge who says* most people who attend the rock group's shows are on drugs. Judge Woody Densen Wednesday placed Sean Foley, 17, McLean, Va., on five years probation and fined him $500 after the youth pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance. Police say Foley became violent at a Grateful Dead concert after taking LSD. \ Densen also banned the teenager from Grateful Dead concerts for the duration of his probation. Foley would face up to 20 years in [prison for violating terms of probatic Rid home of unwanted tenants with care By Carla Bennett "Animals cannot help themselves.

Animals like their home to be dark and peaceful, and several days of the light and radio treatment is usually enough to convince them to move out. Above all, if animals have taken refuge in your chimney (and rac­ coons love chimneys) don't panic and do as one couple did. Hearing the mews of nestling raccoons in their chimeny, they built a fire in the firepjace, meaning to drive them out?Tfeebabies were direct­ ly on the flue'tovering and soon were shrieking witWain.

FOR A GREAT PET PIC­ TURE, drape the pet's owner in black velvet (or white, if the pet is dark) and have him or her hold my nine-year-oljl shepherd malamute, her first doggy toy last Christmas and she loves It, still! It's a rubber "football" squeaky toy, six-inches long. She carries it and plays with it inside and sometimes even takes it outdoors, always rememering to bring it back in with her. I also bought her a squeaky "hot dog", but she much prefers the football. I used to think the array of il toys in pet stores was to - ' -sentimental folks to >- open their wallets -- sort of on a par with painted doggie nails, strictly an outlet for the pampered pet's owner and of no appeal to the dog. Then I met a shepherd named Captain. Captain has a cardboard box filled with about 30 toys -- rubber, stuffed, squeaky -- from balls to teddy bears -- and he, knows they're his, every one of them. I tried taking different ones, one at a time, from his box. Each time he bothered me, sniffing and pawing my arm, until I returned the toy to the box or put it on the floor, whereupon he returned it to the box. I think I'll buy Yara another toy today.

Although it is not a major problem yet, the dentists said they're con­ cerned over the growing evidence of \ use of snuff and chewing tobacco / among their young patients. , Dr. Richard Seib said he feels the popularity of such tobacco products among children is a "terrible thing and it is growing. I personally have seen tissue damage, which is an early sign of cancer potential in chil­ dren as young as 13 and 14." Snuff is a powered tobacco held between cheek and lower gum. ^hewing tobacco is leaf tobacco sold in several forms. Dr. David Miller cited the case of a 15-year-old patient as an example of how quickly the products can lead to health problems. He said the youth showed no evidence of tobacco use during a regular visit, but on a visit about a month later use was obvious. Miller said the boy had developed a "pre-cancerous condition," a gray white spongy wrinkled area in the fold (the area between lower gum and cheek) of his mouth. "With active use of these tobacco products," Miller said, "it doesn't take long for these types of areas to develop." Miller said he thinks smokeless tobacco is a fad and he expects to see more evidence of its use by next summer. "I warned my patient against its use, but it (the warning) didn't seem to bother him," he said. "Children seem to think since they're young and healthy they are also immortal." Dt. John Wittgen said he has twei^ high school patients who "leave no doubt in my mind" they are using tobacco products. Both have red ir­ ritated spots on their gums and stains on their teeth, he said. These dentists are all in Indiana, but studies show the problem is nationwide. A study by the National Cancer Institute in 1984 found that the use of smokeless tobacco is not as harm­ less as once thought. Long-term snuff users face four times the risk of contracting oral and throat can­ cer as do non-users, the study found, and also have 50 times the risk of getting cancer of the gum and cheek.
