Pop(ular) cats. From their origins in Siam, through the early history of Siamese cats in the West to their present day fame, their popularity has grown steadily. It probably reached a peak in the 1950s and 1960s (even turning up in the music of the time) but they're still known and loved all over the world.here's no proof that they came from Egypt, though. What history does tell us is that they're one of the oldest recorded cat breeds and that ancestors of today's cats were found in the kingdom of Siam (now Thailand), which is where they got their name from.

Nestled between the Catskill and Berkshire Mountains in Columbia County, Hudson is just 120 miles north of New York City, 45 miles south of Albany, and 160 miles west of Boston.
The Hudson estuary stretches 153 miles from Troy to New York Harbor, nearly half the river's 315 mile course between Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondacks and the Battery at the tip of Manhattan.ore than 200 species of fish are found in the Hudson and its tributaries. The estuary's productivity is ecologically and economically valuable to much of the Atlantic Coast; key commercial and recreational species like striped bass, bluefish, and blue crab depend on nursery habitat here.
