Abraham Lincoln had a dog named Fido and several cats.

While in the White House, President Lincoln did favor one cat named "Tabby".

Once while "Tabby", was seated next to him at a White House dinner, Mrs. Lincoln was appalled and remarked that it was shameful that Mr. Lincoln actually feeds the cat, with a gold fork. President Lincoln replied, "If the gold fork was good enough for former President James Buchanan, I think it is good enough for Tabby."
