It was a long time ago. But I remember how it irked me, because they
declawed
him to protect the White House furniture when the Clintons moved in.
He was an
adult cat by then, IIRC.

Oh my. Our president has two cats, but declawing is illegal here. I
hardly think she would have had them declawed anyway when they moved
into the president's residence. There are pictures of the president's
cats, Rontti and Miska, here (the link was huge, so I made a tinyurl):

Also a couple of red-eared turtles and a horse.

She always just seems so charming to me. The cats etc suit her.

I don't get why a White House cat would need to be declawed either. They
aren't going to hurt the building itself, and fabrics are seldom valued
antiques. Especially in the family quarters. The White House is hardly a
palace anyway. I've always found dogs to be much more destructive than
cats, even with claws. And the president always has dogs. Some of them
even have teenagers.

I always thought your president was a nice looking woman, her pets are
beautiful too.
