The way that Abraham Lincoln acquired his two White House cats is as amusing as the way the 16th President treated them. Thanks to all who voted. Please vote again every Friday morning at 7:25 EST.
Note: The bust pictured is in front of Lincoln's Tomb in my former city, Springfield, Illinois. The tradition, from school kids to senior citizens, is to rub Abe's nose as you walk to the tomb's entrance. As a result, the nose is rather shiny.
