the president's cat died

[Chica Yeyé 41]

I have had cats and pets so I know what I am talking about. They are NOT human beings sister. They are animals, lovable and squeezable; but NEVER to be equated with a human.

[Kathryn41 3,205]

My cats are members of my family. I grieve for them as strongly as I grieve for a human member. This is true for all of my family - my parents and brother have always felt the same way about our feline family members. Just because they are not human doesn't make them any less important or loved.

"Willie" apparently couldn't bear life after the White House.

The Bushes' 18-year-old female black American Shorthair died Sunday at home in the Executive Mansion.

Named by a then-9-year-old Barbara Bush, the cat, who was also called "Kitty" by the family, was given the name "India" after the former Texas Ranger baseball player, Ruben Sierra, who was called El Indio.

When they went off to college, Barbara and Jenna left India at the White House with President and Mrs. Bush.

"India was a beloved member of the Bush family for almost two decades. She will be greatly missed," said the first lady's press secretary Sally McDonough.

Poor cat, all those years stuck with the bushes! At least now the cat can be free and happy!

Can I add the word "replaceable"?

That's the reason why I don't get those stupid people that want to clone their dogs/cats after their death and spend thousands of dollars on this endeavor, better to donate it to charity and buy a second dog for a 1000th of the cloning price.

Sorry cat died, but newsworthy? NOT.

Just like I didn't care to see Obama's kids being ushered off for the first day of school at Sidwell Friends (or w/e the school is called). Who cares? I mean really....it's just not newsworthy.

This is so sad.. I love cats.. and well you know its important to us good old Americans to be informed of these things.. I mean we arent informed about anything else , really. I think this is far more interesting than say how many civilians where killed in Iraq when American troops went in to kill Sadam and take away his weapons of mass destruction that he never even really had. I think its much more important than to wonder why our government cant find one man they say is responsible for the worst terrorist attack on US soil. So they just bomb the hell out of Afghanistan instead, who really cares about that anyway ... I think its far more important of a story than how our economy is suffering yet we can still manage to send Billions (not millions) of dollars to Israel every year so they can bomb the hell out of Palestinians.

Well anyway RIP to the whitehouse cat...
