U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have added a green-eyed tabby from Pennsylvania to the White House family, the first feline tenant since President George W. Bush's controversially named cat India.
Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of John F. Kennedy, and her friends famously enjoyed riding her pony Macaroni on the South Lawn, along with another one named Tex, but Macaroni was usually stabled at the Kennedy family home in Virginia. It was the Bushes' cat India, however, who sparked protests in 2004 among nationalists in Kerala, India's southernmost state. They considered the name an insult."There's a story that he would feed one of his cats from the plates in the White House dining room, then his wife objected and he said something like, 'Well, if these plates were good enough for James Buchanan, they're good enough for the cat,"' he said.
Among President John Tyler's pets were a pair of "gentle giant" Irish wolfhounds. He gave them to his second wife, Julia, as a gift. Theodore Roosevelt, an avid animal lover, had a pack of dogs, snakes, guinea pigs and, by one account, a one-legged rooster.Franklin Roosevelt had several pets but his favorite was a dog named Fala, named for a family ancestor. He was often seen at the 32nd president's side, until Roosevelt's death in 1945.
And Benjamin Harrison once received two opossums from supporters in Maryland, naming them Mr. Reciprocity and Mr. Protection in homage to two of his party's political platforms.
