    Rutherford B. Hayes: a siamese cat called Siam

    Theodore Roosevelt had 2 cats: Tom Quartz and Slippers

    Calvin Coolidge had 3 cats: Bounder, Tiger, and Blacky

    John F. Kennedy: a cat called Tom Kitten

    Gerald Ford: a Siamese Cat called Chan

    Jimmy Carter: a Siamese cat called Misty Malarky Ying Yang

    Bill Clinton: a cat called Socks

    George Bush: a cat called India - nicknamed Willie. The Bushes' orange-striped polydactyl cat Ernie was judged too wild for White House life and now lives with a family in California.

    Many other presidents had cats but I couldn't find their names. (Edit: I mean I found the names of the presidents who had cats but I couldn't find the names of their cats)

    Here is a link for an interesting selection of presidential pets and loads of information:

    Edit: I don't know why so many complain about questions in a trivia category. "Trivia" means just that. Often trivia is useless information that is just fun to know anyway. Those who don't enjoy trivia shouldn't bother looking at trivia questions.

    The Clintons had a cat called Socks or Sox, I don't know which spelling is correct.

    There is a full list of Presidents and their pets at the link below -

    http://www.presidentialpetmuseum.com/whitehousepet...

    The first "cats" at the Whitehouse were during the presidency of Martin Van Buren 1837-1841.

    A pair of Tiger cubs given to him by the Sultan of Oman which Congress bade him to send to the zoo.

    The first mention of domestic cats is when Abraham Lincoln was president 1861-1865.

  • I know all of them but I won't list them for you. My girlfriend said to get off ya so I will. Your questions are retarded, juvenile,and immature anyway.

    Isn't it about time to take your ovaltine and geritol and go to bed? You have to be up early tomorrow to do absolutely nothing of value.

    BTW, Maxine is correct. Cats don't have any Presidential power, so why are you concerned about what President has what cat. Do you have a cat fetish or something?
