One of my co-workers (who knows I like cats/animals) has just given me a 2001 calendar that he didn't want -- a Democratic National Committee 2001 Calendar titled, "First Pets and Their Families". Democrat pets only! It's a really cute calendar. The cover shows that photo of First Cat, Socks, on top of a podium in the White House press room. The calendar also includes photos of FDR and good ol' Fala; Amy Carter and her Siamese cat, "Misty Malarkey Ying Yang" as well as her puppy "Grits"; Jackie Kennedy with little Caroline and two kittens; Harry Truman's puppy, "Feller"; etc. My favorite, though, has to be Socks posing on the podium. Very, very adorable and handsome cat.
