National Parent Patched Members

---

It all started in 1978 with a small, abandoned cat named Little Queen. We didn't know it, then, but we know it, now. Queenie was the very first Cat Of Anarchy, and soon grew into a clowder of more. By 1981, the "club" had downsized to Queenie, Kilo, and TJ. Also in 1981, something new had been added, a 1980 Yamaha 850 Special. We didn't know it then, but we know it now:

The Cats Of Anarchy was born, chartered, and formed.

In 2008, the first official charter, the national parent, was formed in Rosemount, Minnesota. We spoke of that on the Founder's personal Facebook page on the 10th anniversary:

#CAMCRO turns 10 years old today!

Yes, 10 years ago today, a rag tag group of eight mammals came over the hill, and stuck a flag in the ground inside the hamlet known as Rosemount, MN. It wasn’t known, then, but is known now, more than ever, that on this day, 28 March, 2008, the franchise was founded and formed:

#CatsOfAnarchyRosemountOriginals

And what a decade of anarchy it has been! Many joys, many experiences, some old, some new, great people, some have come, others have gone, some have visited, and some have stayed. Good friends and neighbors to share with, Good Earth to till, and stout mounts on clean roads to practice the art of the motorcycle on. Of course, the core of #CAMCRO is the cats, a total of nine felines, so far:

Mr. Wesley, Tookee, Jasmine, Josie, Tsarina, Tabitha, Gilbert, Poof Gracie, and Laker Jaxson.

#FirstEight

Two humans and six felines came to settle here at #CAMCRO, and they are known as #FirstEight. In ten years now, we have lost four of the Originals, three to the Reaper, and sadly, one had to be relieved of the cut and colors of #CAMCRO, and we never thought that would ever happen. Four of us remain, myself, Tsarina, Jasmine, and Tabitha.

#CatsOfMayhem

When a #FirstEight door closes, they’ll not be another, but what we do have is the next generation of #CAMCRO known as #CatsOfMayhem. Three have earned their cut and colors, and caused their share of mayhem, as expected, and they would be Gilbert, Poof Gracie, and Laker Jaxson (L.J.). L.J. prefers to go by his prospect name, “Satin,” and we await fair weather to test his mettle as the Road Captain of the yard.

It’s been a tough few years here at #CAMCRO, but we live the code, put the hammer down, give a twist of the wrist, and when we come to a fork in the road, we take it! Today, like the first astronauts of the Mercury Program, We Are Seven. We will push forward, we will strive to make the next 10 years of #CAMCRO even more in the sheen of the Founding. To all who have visited us, you are always welcome back. To those who have not, what the hell are you waiting for? If we have to explain, we will make you understand. Until then, WE ARE, AND WE REMAIN, ALWAYS…

And, here we are, and YOU are with us! To paraphrase a former American president, The Spirit of the Cats Of Anarchy transcends geographical barriers and political differences. We use the spirit of the domestic cat to make things right, and find new ways to pay life forward, from the seat of a motorcycle. That's what we do, and we invite YOU to join the CoA. Not everyone can be CoA. You MUST be cat owned, the more cats the better, who doesn't know that, but you don't have to ride a motorcycle. Cats and Motorcycles is just kind of how it worked out for the Founder. Dedicated to the Power of the Head Bonk and the Freedom of the Road. JOIN US!
