Amidst the joy with Al Franken's win in Minnesota comes some sadness. The first cat has died.
Sorry for the shortness of this diary, but I thought our loss should be noted for those of us who do pay attention to the White House pets.
The one and only good thing about the GWB presidency was that he did, in fact, have a cat - an 18 year old black cat named India. With India's death, for the first time in 16 years the White House is pootie-less, indeed a dark day.
Farewell India, have fun with Spot at Rainbow Bridge and say hello to all of our pootie friends.
