We can thank God for the news featuring the Obama school girls and India/Willie vs another market or home being blown up by terrorists. Condolences to George, Laura and the girls.

Nobody is all bad if they have a cat that has elected to live with them for over 18 years! We all know that cats can be VERY picky!! As for why this rates headlines...it doesn't I suppose, but the President always has...for good and bad it seems! The thing about this that makes it okay for me...it shows that the media is willing to mention humanitarian or feline news as well. And for me, as sad as it is to lose a beloved companion (feline, canine or human) at least it softened the news if even for a moment. We get more than enough of all the disastrous stuff...enough to throw all of North America into a giant migraine!! So, to pause for 'Kitty' is sad, but a pleasant change. As for the soldiers...I agree...where is the mention of our soldiers who gave their lives...for I am not just sure what, even yet...but they gave their lives because they promised they would. THAT deserves honorable mention. What is wrong with a small 'Died for Freedom' column? Not that hard considering what all you manage to get onto this site, I should imagine. May all who gave their lives rest in peace...and I pray that peace is what we gain from all this. Amen Condolences to the current 1st Family on the loss of their 'Kitty'.

I did not care that one of the Ford boys invited Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger to lunch on the Truman Balcony. I did not want to know anything about Carter's crazy kin folk from Plains Ga. I did not want to know that Patty Davis hated her parents. On and on it goes. I guess the reason we suffer this is because we have no Buckingham Palace and No Queen to entertain us.

I am neither a cat lover or a fan of George W. but my sympathies in this case are heartfelt. To the nation both this and the school story are trivial to many but to others they show that if nothing else, our leaders past and present have living human problems also.

& Mr. President : Are you still wondering :
:" I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HATE US !" Really , this is HOW the whole world looks at the USA & perceives its attitude, policies & miscalculations as well as manipulations of the peoples of the world . No disrespect meant to the late Ms India .
FELINE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN HUMAN LIVES !

Poor kitty-- 18 years with George. That alone probably used up all of his 9 kitty lives. You know, with all these animals in the White House, I feel bad for the staff that has to clean up after them. Wonder who emptied the litter box?? I never knew they even had a cat. Poor kitty– 18 years with George. That alone probably used up all of his 9 kitty lives.

Yet our brave service men and women who are defending this country are getting killed violently, and unnaturally, everyday in Afghanistan and Iraq... yet very rarely even a mention about them anymore in your news these days. You used to have a listing, in your headline news section, where you printed the name and photo of EVERY service man and woman who was killed in action in Iraq, but I can't seem to find this section anymore.

For the loss of their kitty, I send my condolences. For the loss of our country's children in an illegal and nonsensical war in Iraq, the loss of our reputation on the world stage, and the loss of our economic stability, I am still waiting for the Bush family to offer their condolences to America. I think all we're going to get is a "whoops, I messed up" from Dubya. Too bad their finger-biting, snapping little black dog wasn't the one to meet his maker.

They were humans caught up in a nasty conflict. Their names should make the news, one by one as well as the names of their parents/children. What a pity that the death of a cat is worth so much more ink than the death of a person.
