Would it be too much to ask that we have a cat in White House?

Didn't the Clintons have a cat?

The Fabulous Miss Lucy needs to weigh in on this...

Bring on the first pussy.

The Clinton's had Socks and I think Amy Carter had a cat too.

I agree.

I have dos gatos I can lend to the cause.

An orange tabby and a tuxedo cat.

Perfect, if you ask me.

Trump would just try to grab it, so...

Misty Malarky Ying Yang.

R3, don't you mean poosey?

Bootsie Gumdrops.

What the fuck is socks?

A cat would keep the White House mice and rat free.

[quote]The Clinton's had Socks and I think Amy Carter had a cat too.

HAD is the key word.

Socks. RIP

Well, yes... the Carters were 44 years ago, so...

CAT DEAD

[quote] Car dead!

I'm so sorry, R15.

Maybe a barn cat at Camp David?

Stop fucking taking about dead cats. This is a pro-cat thread.

R15 I was answering r1 question. Chill.

A first cat wouldn't settle for Camp David. White House or nothing.

I’m already spoken for, r10. I spend most of my time arranging MRIs for Jaclyn.

I vote for Mr. Flapjacks.

Here's the recent DL thread about Mr. Flapjacks. He was born to the job.

A rescue cat would be lovely. Maybe a tabby?

Misty Malarky Ying Yang

How much vetting would Mr. Flapjjacks need?

Mittens.

Orange tabby or bust!

Is this pancake cat up for the job? What's with the hair?

poosey

Would this be too much? It's not their fault...they were born that way.

The Bush family had a beautiful black kitty named India

Isn't the cat at 10 Downing St on the payroll?

Biden needs to get a cat to join his cabinet.

India with Jenna & Barbara

No one will ever be as legendary...

A calico or a tortoise shell would be great. They are multicolored with lots of attitude.

R36 Who is that? Beautiful markings.

Socks, R38.

R38, how fucking dare you. I am Socks Clinton goddammit!!

Sure, but acknowledge that they'd never get the stench of cat urine out. Ever.

Thank god Trump didn’t have a cat; he would’ve named it Pussy Galore.

Susan Ford's Siamese cat Shan

The smell of urine? Cats have a facility they use. They are not dogs, uncivilized and peeing everywhere.

That dog was never heard from again.

R39 and R40 Thank you BUT these pictures don't show his paw markings! Most kitties named Socks have noticeable markings on their paws.

They tried.

R47 Yes! I see in the R45 picture that Socks indeed wore socks -- looks like athletic socks! Thank you!

Looks like he has smudges on his snout.

Susan Ford was a natural beauty.

fuck cats and dogs. what about a tarantula?

R49 He is very close to a Hitler cat...see R32. Those poor kitties.

A first spider? Really?

Trump did have a pet. A cockroach.

R53 Yes bitch!

R51 has a point although I don't agree with a tarantula but why not something other than a dog or cat? A hamster, gerbil, bunny., chameleon...

A parrot? How fun if it repeated everything it heard in the Oval Office!

R56 a gerbil? That’s for when Pete’s elected Pres, bro!

Alligator!

Somehow I don't see the Bidens with a python.

A profane mockingbird named Dick.

maybe a pig!

R60 then obviously you haven't seen Hinter naked.

Or a whole herd of giraffe.

Fuck. Hunter.

Trump's pet cockroach would hitch a ride in his hair during pressers.

One teensy tiny little ladybug. The First Ladybug.

German Shepherd + cat = blood stains

Would the ladybug come from Lindsey Graham?

how about a pet little person dressed as a frog?

Where are you, Miss Lucy? We're waiting for your input!

For fucks sake. A cat. Not a frog, ladybug, snake, giraffe, spider, etc.

How about R72 on a leash. Train him to shit in a box full of sand.

Yes.

Cats trained to be outside on leashes or that accompany you on walks and stay with you are the coolest cats.

[quote]German Shepherd + cat = blood stains

We had GSDs and cats together, and they got along fine. Some of the cats were the "pack leader."

Those GSD dogs are gorgeous, but a cat would be great too!

Tu puta madre, r73.

R75 I have three cats that walk and stay with me through the neighborhood.

The Pence family had two cats (Oreo & Pickles). So did Ronald Reagan (Cleo & Sara) and Abraham Lincoln (Tabby & Dixie)

Taft had a carp.

Of course Pence had cats.

There was a cat in the White House a million years ago. I can’t remember which president it was but the cat was a celebrity. They tried everything to keep the cat in doors and he always escaped. They’d see him walking around town. When he didn’t come back for a few days they feared the worst. The cat pranced back in weeks later. lol

I love cats. I like dogs too. Cats are the in thing these days. They should have one along with the dogs. A cat would give Republicans the finger.

I want to live that long to see a penguin to become a WH pet. With climate change and polar ice caps melting maybe in four years?

Pence had asked Mother for a gerbil. She said no.

Cats

R83 That may have been Calvin Coolidge's tom cat Tige.

Individuals in leadership positions tend to favor dogs over cats.

Cats don’t pass background checks. There are always loyalty issues.

Cat? GET A TIGER!

OP, I like the way you think!

R2 Your wish is my command. The White House definitely needs a cat. I named a kitten Socks in honor of the Clintons' cat.

We just voted out the biggest pussy that was ever in the White House.

The red-white cat on Pence's lap in R86's pic just wants to get away asap ...

I would love it if the Biden's brought a cat into the People's House but they habve w German Shepherds who are notoriously known as cat tormentors. I think it's much safer if they stick with dogs. I love that they adopted Major from the Delaware Humane Association in 2018. The animal rescue I had volunteered with were all celebrating the news.

I would love a White House bird. A parrot or a crow

GSDs and cats do get along if the cat is an alpha cat or if the dog knows the cat from an early age.

In Biden's case it's better to stick with dogs (and perhaps even adopt another dog or two) unless they find a super alpha cat.

They're going to need a cat with all the mice that have infested the White House muching on all the McDonald's wrappers.

What happened to Socks?

And have the entire White House stink like cat piss? Fuck no.

Keep the goddamned things out of the White House. Forever.

R99, Socks died in February 2009 at the age of 19 or 20.

:-(

Ew.

Larry

How about a donkey?

Gladstone

R104, a donkey named Donald?

A horse's ass you mean, r106.

The best way to get rid of cat spray odors is white vinegar.

Right, Heloise. You can't smell the cat piss because you're choking on the vinegar.

But after the vinegar evaporates, the cat stink from the cat pisses comes right back. Vinegar might work to clean a glass surface pissed on by a cat. But they don't piss on smooth glass surfaces. So it's pointless. Vinegar will do nothing to get cat piss out of a wooden floor pissed on by a goddamned cat.

Joe has TWO shelter dogs, both German Sheps

R109 has never, ever met a cat.

R88, this is true. Many years ago Fortune magazine did a survey of the pets of the heads of Fortune 100 companies. Over half owned dogs. None of them owned a cat. Cats aren’t yes-men. You can’t get servile adoration from a cat.

Will Pence take his pet fly with him?

Wrong, R111.

Over the years, I've had two cats. About 10 years apart. Both were destructive. They shredded furniture and drapes with abandon. Scratch posts were not entirely ignored by either cat, but they certainly were not preferred.

And when they pissed on something, it was permanent. Fabric. Carpet. Leather. Wood. Awful. Just awful.

Both cats were moved on to fawning ninnies who just looooooooooove cats. Each cat continued its reign of terror in the new homes.

I think the United states may have had some First Crabs in the last 4 years...

R114, did you know cats only do this to assholes?

When the Clintons left the White House, Socks went to live with one of the WH secretaries. When they announced his death, they mentioned how despondent she was--she really loved him. I do question if Socks was more a PR prop for the Clintons though. They couldn't have brought him along to their post-WH life? They did have Buddy the dog at the end of their tenure and maybe he and Socks didn't get along? Sadly, Buddy was killed by car a few years later.

CAn't wait for Trump to leave

Get two cats to make sure all the rats are kept out of the WH.

I think Bill Clinton LIKED Socks, but doubt whether he LOVED him. I don't think Hillary or Chelsea cared for him at all.

The entire Bush family loved India. He mostly slept with the daughters, but slept with George & Laura too. He usually stayed behind at the White House if a family member was there or if they were traveling internationally, but was always with the family on holidays like Christmas.

Pence loved his kitties, and took a lot of shit from Trump over it. Trump could never love a cat, because cats don't give unconditional easy love... you have to EARN their love.

Trump is the kind of person who'd get dogs for his kids (when they were young), have them euthanized a year or two later when taking the family on an expensive 6-week vacation, then get mad at his kids for being ungrateful when they cried after finding out what he'd done, because he has no concept of love, and no regard for the sanctity of life.

Chelsea Clinton was besotted with Socks, there are many pics out there in which she can be seen playing with him and petting him.

If your cat was pissing everywhere and misbehaving, the failure here is yours. Instead of being a bitter asshole, try figuring out where you went wrong. Cats do not behave this way when they have responsible owners.

Motherfucker

When I hear someone complaining that their cat pisses all over the place and misbehaves (not playfully), I know it's their fault. That's how cats exact their revenge on you.

Case in point - my parents and me live in the same building, different apartments. My parents are abusive, selfish, uncaring and irresponsible assholes. I'm no holiday either but I'm at least genuinely loving and caring towards my pets.

So when the house cats go to their apartment, they pee, break stuff, bite and scratch. No cat has EVER done that at my place. And I'm neither a disciplinarian, nor a clean freak. The animals just feel safe with me (humblebrag, I know.)

No, R110, only the second dog (Major?) is from a shelter. The other one came from a breeder.

I would love to see a cat in the White House again. And the Pence pets don't count; they didn't live in the WH.

Idk but I once made someone believe there was a WH sloth during the Roosevelt era while we were high and he believed me. I would love to see that, a sloth in the White House. Named Charles.

Cat piss is the worst. It's ammonia I think that is the reason it smells? I forget. But there is something that supposedly neutralizes this that I've seen from chemists and cat owners alike. I tend to be an extremist and neat freak with gross stuff so I go through BLEACH and all I know is, it works for me. I got rid of carpet and did hardwood, but anytime the cat has had an accident it was on fabric. Cats actually seem to prefer puking and peeing on carpet which can be thrown away or washed. So I have lost a few covers.

I love the symbolism of President Biden having two huge German Shepherds as pets.

A creepy hairless cat.

Angry Orange neutralizes cat pee odor.

Betty Currie (Bill's personal secretary) adopted Socks when Clinton left the White House.

Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer is the best way to deal with nasty pet smells.

For R127

Keep talking about cat piss.

Fuck around and find out.

I had a friend with a gorgeous library (> 5000 books). All of them smelled like cat piss. I swore never to have a cat. And, yes, I own dogs.

There will be a cat in the WH again! Hooray!

Aparently there's this story, of abandoning your old and frail parents in deep forests. It's called Ubasute.

It seems you have to be productive and useful in Japanese culture, if not you better die. I guess for westerners hard to understand.

Presidents often have cats, but except for Socks they don't get much attention. Socvks did, but that was because they let him outside and he liked to hang out at outdoor press conferences early in the Clinton administration. But in the last 75 years:

JFK and his family had a cat in the White House named Tom Kitten.

Susan Ford had a Siamese cat named Shan.

Amy Carter had a Siamese cat named Misty Malarky Ying Yang.

George W. and Laura Bush had a cat named India.

Just what the WH needs, the smell of cat piss, no thanks

^ Someone here seems to be a bit obsessed with cat urine.^^

Had cats as pets for decades, they are odorless. Male cats who arent fixed, piss strong scented urine to mark territory.

Is Laura Bush flipping the finger in this pic?

The power of DL.

I am sure Melania has sprayed every piece of furniture and carpet just like a cat, Donald likes that type of thing.

I call BS to R140, cat's, their litter box and their piss stink to high heaven. You can't smell it since you live with them, everyone else can.

I'm sure there are enough bathrooms in the White House for Kitty Biden to have her own.

Cats are for pussys

The smell of cat piss will be needed to mask, and be preferable to, the now permanent stink of that orange turd who’s occupied the WH for the last 4 years.

What R144 said. He nailed it exactly.

Miss Sissyboodles will have a place in the WHITE HOUSE

The litterbox stinks because you don't clean it, you lazy whore.

Cats will not use a dirty litter box.

And some cats will walk right past a clean litter box to go pee in your closet or shit on your bed.

[quote]yes.

No.

The WH cat caretaker

Babadook the rescued shelter kitty for White House Cat

Bill Clinton had Socks.
