Maybe the White House should consider both a cat and dog

It's April 11, the day before Easter, and both of my cats, TC and Sweetie are napping and waiting for a visit from the Easter Bunny. I don't think they know that the Easter Bunny will bring them more cat toys tomorrow, but I'm sure they will enjoy them anyway.

We were thinking, however, that since the Obamas are having a rather hard time deciding on a dog for the White House, maybe a cat would be the purrfect answer, with the cat being the first resident and a dog companion to follow. There have been cats in the White House before, and they make wonderful additions to any household. Just think, the secret service wouldn't have to accompany them on any outside walks, they don't have to go through an obedience class before you bring them home, they could keep any rodents at bay, and would provide a warm, homey atmosphere. A cat could sleep with the children at night, play with toys and treats, curl up in the Oval Office, look cute for photographers, and spend their day spreading love and affection to everyone. There must be a lot of warm, napping places in the White House, and many places to put window perches so that the cats could enjoy the scenery. I'm sure there would be enough household staff to provide adequate food for any "first" cats, and water bowls could be provided on each level, along with pet water fountains for additional measure. A cat could provide a calming influence during meetings with dignitaries from other countries, and could be the focal point of conversations regarding animal welfare throughout the world.

Of course, with both a cat and dog at the White House, which would provide each other companionship, as long as they were properly introduced and socialized, the Obamas could have the best of both worlds. A cat for the "cat lovers" and a dog for the "dog lovers", with a bi-partisian coalition showing unity. I'm sure that The Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, the ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary or some other animal welfare organization could come up with a good match. Imagine the cute pictures of a cat and dog playing with each other, sleeping with each other, being friendly with each other. Wouldn't this be a wonderful way to promote understanding for diversity? Any thoughts on this subject?
