the first cats I could find were martin van buren's tigers, but I guess the jumble guys aren't counting them.

Rutherford b hayes had "siam," the first Siamese in the usa and "miss pussy," also Siamese. Gerald ford had a Siamese "shan," and amy carter had a pair of siamese.

one of mine, little "lotus blossom" sure looks Siamese, but I found her in my yard when she was so small that I took her to my wife and asked her "what do baby possums eat."

tabby and dixie were among Lincoln's numerous pets. I don't know if horses could be considered "pets," then or now.
