I have been a member of The Older Cats Society for almost over 3 years. when CLAW closed a couple of years ago I became an assistant with Blackie Jamison. That was a good time for Blackie and myself. Blackie's hooman then had to devote full time to schoolwork and I became Leader of CLAW. That was a challenge for me as well as an exciting opportunity. Last fall Lloyd became my co-leader. He was a wonderful, gentle, intelligent cat. When he went to the Rainbow Bridge in December his brofur McGee became my co-leader. McGee is equally wonderful, gentle and intelligent as well. I love working with him. I have made many friends among OCS. Each kitty is interesting and charming and we all have unique experiences. Working with the OCS is a labor of love. I try each month with the help of McGee and our Advisor, Shibui to make the OCS both exciting and interesting to the members. With 50% participation most months we are doing fairly well. I can always dream of 100% participation. This was very unexpected. I was so very surprised! This was by far the most exciting month OCS had. We had many visitors. The theme was all about having a sun shiny January. I just make 'em. I don't get 'em.    November 2000 A Thanksgiving Haikis Wonderful turkey So juicy and tender Filling my tummy to the brim. by Spike Brewer  December 2000      March 2001 Thanks St. Patrick When the ground is white and dull, and life gets to be a bore. Along comes the Irish St. Patrick dropping green shamrocks out his pockets. He rids Ireland of all the snakes and me of my winter doldrums. Thanks St. Patrick for having a special day, Green Beer, green rivers, and green streets, and for all the good, happy Irish cheer!
