No, not the crazy cat lady! The cat lady is sane…it’s the cat who’s crazy! I'm Sandy, and that cat is Curry, my beautiful Siamese girl. It was only a matter of time before she had her own blog (she’s been on Facebook for awhile now). Curry may be ambitious and crazy, but she’s still a cat. Therefore, she can’t type (or is it that she won’t type?). Therefore, I’m her servant and will be writing this blog on her behalf. So, how about some introductions…
Curry is a ¾ Siamese mix who was rescued near George Washington’s home Mount Vernon in Alexandria, Virginia. I adopted her and Zorro, a handsome black and white male, in 2003. The moral of the story is that I can never, ever, foster cats again. The reason is because I was only supposed to have Curry and Zorro for two nights but I couldn't let them go. My soon-to-be sweethearts were up for adoption through my local Petco. I passed the cage that served as their temporary digs and noticed a sign: “dear Petco customers: all of our foster homes are full…we need a home for Thanksgiving this year…it will be dark and lonely here in the store…would you please consider watching us for two nights?” What could I say to that? They were staring at me with puppy dog eyes (yes, cats can have puppy dog eyes), and the adoption lady was right there, just waiting to talk me into it. I caved. Sure, I could watch them for two nights. It would be fun and easy. I would return Curry and Zorro to Petco the Friday morning after Thanksgiving so they could move on to their next foster home. Long story short, I went in Friday morning with no cats, and check in hand, asking “what’s the adoption fee?” Curry was only 6 months old and very petite; Zorro was 1 ½ years, gorgeous but shy, and doted on his “little sister” as you can see from the photo of one of their first nights with me.
We’ve been through thick and thin since then. We’ve said goodbye to some of our other feline family members, and have welcomed new ones. Curry’s current cat family includes Zorro, 2 year old Willie, and 9 month old Grayson. Curry plans to blog regularly, so please keep reading. You probably already know that, as a Siamese cat, she’s incredibly smart. She has a lot to share, and she’d also like to hear from you!

Congratulations on your maiden blog. As an intelligent and observant cat I'm sure you have an opinion about much that you see around you. As a Siamese I'm sure you will be outspoken about what you see. Humans can be foolhardy, amusing and sometimes quite brilliant. It would be interesting to see things from a cat's-eye point of view.
