Clarence
Sidney, British Columbia
Clarence is the most popular
cat in Canada. He lives in Sidney, BC at Tanners Books. He showed up one day,
from where no one knows, and proceeded to take over Beacon Street. He made
his rounds in the town every day, making sure all of his friends got the chance
to pet him and feed him. People kept trying to persuade him not to sunbathe
in the middle of the road, and to take up residence someplace in town. Finally,
after two years in Sidney, he decided it was time to settle down. He chose
Tanners as his home and stayed. He is a bit of a grouch, so Tanners
ran this ad. Three of these pictures were taken
in 1991 when Clarence was still pretty lively. The first one on the bottom
was taken in 1998, at age 23.
Note: Clarence died in April of 1998 at 23 years old. He will
be missed by many admirers and friends.
