So sorry to hear about this. RIP India. I have a black dsh who is 6yrs old and a black dlh. I had another black dsh who was 16 when he went over the rainbow bridge. I love black cats

That is sad, say what you want about the Bush family but they did love animals.

This hit home for me. Was the same week we put our 18 year old cat to sleep. How come we never heard much about the cat just the reporter-biting dog?

No matter who you are, it is so hard to loose a pet. India certainly had the best home of any cat-The White House.

Well the cat didn't have to adjust to life outside of the White House. How hard it is to lose our beloved animals.

Too bad we always heard more about the dogs than the cat. Maybe more black cats would have been adopted!
 
That's sad... I liked their cat and I think having a black one around was good PR... wasn't it in a few of those holiday movies as well?

I knew that Socks had died, but I did not know until now that India had died. He was a beauty with those striking green eyes. I am sure that he will be missed.

I didn't realize the Bushs had Kitty; I only knew about their adorable Scotties. I'm glad that Kitty lived a long life. My condolences to them.

My heart goes out to the family. 18 years is a long time, so at least India had a good life. We need more cats in the White House.

Eighteen is a nice age, but no matter how old they are, the death of a pet is a loss in our lives.

It is sad that the Bush's lost their pet of 18 years and it is sad to read some of the rude comments about the Bush's here. This is no place for that nor the time. Zootoo is suppose to be a nice and fun place. The kind comments were appreciated.

The former first cat, India, had a long and wonderful life. I'm sure this family member will be missed. It's hard to lose a pet, I've lost my share, but the memories will live on forever. Heres to you India.

So sorry for their loss. That's great the kitty had such a good life in the White House and lived to be 18. I once had a cat make it to 18 and currently have one who is 14-1/2. I'm sure they miss her.
