Cougar Club of America’s Award-Winning Magazine
At the Sign of the Cat is a magazine exclusive to Mercury Cougar enthusiasts. It provides a network of relationships within the Cougar Club of America community in continuing the legacy since its founding in 1980. Since then, the magazine has become a respected source of information to experts and novices alike, in addition to passing resources on to a younger generation.
The Cougar Club of America is a global, collective community preserving the passion and nostalgia of Mercury Cougars built between 1967 and 2002.
The publication itself has taken on many forms, which aptly began as a hand-typed newsletter that sought to bring like-minded people together before the Internet. After several generations and increasing interest through word of mouth, the club has grown into something much larger–a worldwide effort that embodies the enthusiasm and compassion of the people that volunteer their contributions to preserve and help to create the movement that is Mercury Cougar. Through these efforts, ATSOTC magazine has become a staple for the past, present, and future.

I am 48 years old, married, no children, and currently work in the communications and international relations department for a government agency in Luxembourg, Europe.
