I didn't know they even had a cat...you never heard of her. She's cute. 18 is not a bad run...

It is interesting that we never heard about India, or Kitty, while the Bushes were in the White House. I hope they will remember her life fondly, and share her story with others. It would be neat to have a children's story written about the life of Kitty in the White House!

I remember Socks but never remember hearing about India. Sweet dreams, little girl. Funny, black cat and black dog.

RIP Kitty! you got to live in a house many cats never will be able to live. Too bad the Bush family kept you a secret! you would have done wonders for the cat world. if i lived at the white house all 5 of my cats would be living there. they would all get photo ops and be on the xmas card!

I didn't know that the Bush's had a cat. Animals have always been an important part of the Whitehouse. I hope that the new president will be able to find a dog suitable for their family and give it a good home in the Whitehouse. What a great place to live for a pet!

So sad but he had a great, long life and experiences most cats dont get! The move "home" would have been hard on him...probably a good thing he died when he did

Over the years, there has always been talk of a White House dog (with the exception of Socks the cat). I never even knew the Bush's had a kitty.

I didn't know there was such a beautiful kitty living in the White House. Sure would have liked to have heard more about India's antics over the years. Hopefully, we will hear more about the Obama's new puppy and the Biden pets.

Hey, if we could all live 18 cats years which might be aroudn 126 years old, and live in the luxury of the White House, it wouldn't be so bad, huh?

Regardless about how I feel about our former president, I feel his pain and I am very sorry for his family's loss. I'm sure many of us know the pain of losing a pet, and I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. Although it sounds like India had a nice life!
