Some people swing both ways

Major and Champ, the new first dogs

And there’s nothing wrong with that:

When he was running for president, Joseph R. Biden Jr. said it was time for a pet to be put back in the White House.

First it was announced that Champ and Major, the German shepherds belonging to the president-elect and future first lady Jill Biden, would roam the White House. And now, after an absence of more than a decade, a cat is set to also join the ranks of presidential pets, Jane Pauley of “CBS Sunday Morning” reported on Twitter on Friday.

In an interview with Fox 5 in Washington, D.C., Dr. Biden hinted that if her husband won the presidency, she would not mind getting a cat.

“I’d love to get a cat,” she said. “I love having animals around the house.”

The cat’s breed and name were not immediately available. Representatives for Mr. Biden did not respond to a request for comment on Saturday.

Dog twitter was not amused by this news, decrying the decision as Biden trying to be all things to all people. They are wrong. Just saying.

It was announced earlier today that Biden hurt his ankle playing with Major and twitter erupted with tweets that it was Major’s way of saying that he was not amused one bit with this decision.
