It’s just all the more reason the new President should consider adding a First Cat in addition to a First Puppy. After all, cats help build character….

Ok, well, maybe cats just help build patience. But they’re also good for stress reduction.

I think President Bush’s cat India (or Willie) preferred to stay out of the spotlight. I didn’t find a good image of him for the showing. However, you may catch a glimpse at the official White House site before he’s moved away.

Do you think Obama should add a First Cat to the White House?
