Abyssinian A happy, busy, active cat, with a lively interest in everything around him, the Abyssinian is playful and spirited -- but doesn't like con­ finement. A little more nervous and shy than many other breeds, the Abyssinian asks for little attention from humans. With a soft, very dense, silky coat and a small, "bell-like" voice, this well-muscled and colorful feline has the "wildest" appearance of all the domestic cats. Youth Saved From Drowning Thanks to the alertness of his brother, Ken Nichols was able to enjoy a belated twelfth birthday this month. Ken, with his brother Scott, aged 10; Jeremy Sobers, eight; and another friend, 14-year-okl Rex; had bent planning to fish at a pond when Ken decided to go wading instead. The botttom of the pond was greasy mud and as a result, he dipped and went under the water. When he came up, Scott realized his brother was in trouble, so he and Jeremy held hands (buddy system) and entered the water to reach Ken. They managed to get him to shore and while Jeremy ran for help, ten- year-old Scott started artificial respiration on his brother. Rex, who had gone home before the incident happened, returned to the pond accompanied by his father and Jeremy's Uncle Larry. Larry took over for Scott while Buzz called the rescue squad, who thai tran­ sported Ken to the hospital. It was touch and go for a couple of days but we can be very proud of these two young boys, Scott and Jeremy, who had the presence of mind to act promptly to save a life.
