Finallly found out that purebred India was a girl and also went by the nom de feline "Willie." Wonder if that was the Secret Service code name for her:)

Sounds like a real sweet cat and while of course it's so sad to lose a beloved pet I'm sure the family is also comforted by the fact that she lived to a ripe old age and really did have quite the life it seems!

I feel so sad for them to lose their long time friend and family member. I am sure kitty lived a good life, or at least hope so. I am sure someone was around to give kitty, kitty massages in her old age.

Eighteen is a good age for a cat. He was one of the lucky ones who had a good life and was cared for. I hope, given time, that they will consider welcoming another one into the family.

Sad to read that beautiful sleek India is gone. Her long life surely must have been a pampered and interesting one. Rather odd that we always know about the White House dogs, but seldom about their feline counterparts.

Not to get off the topic, but the photo is beautiful. I would think that would be the perfect photo in a honorarium frame.

My condolences to the family. It does make me wonder if the cat sensed the move and decide it was time for her passing. I have a high respect for an animal's sixth sense.

I also agree with some of the earlier posts, it is sad that the kitty has passed away. It seems though that such a big traumatic move so late in its life would have made him scared anyway. I always hate hearing about any kitty passing on, but hopefully he is in a happy kitty place filled with all the catnip he can eat!

Probably best for the cat to have passed away before the move, although it is very sad, especially after having him for such a long time. Cats are not as flexible as dogs and moving is very traumatic for them, especially at that age.
