WASHINGTON — The first family leaving the White House this month will be without one of its longtime members — the Bush family’s 18-year-old cat has died.
The first lady’s office said Monday that India, a black American shorthair named for former Texas Rangers player Ruben Sierra, died Sunday at the White House.
Bush daughter Barbara, then 9, named the cat India after Sierra, a former major-league player whose nickname was “El Indio.” President George W. Bush is a former co-owner of the Texas Rangers. The Associated Press
