Cat Counseling

LIVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE MAY ALSO CRIMP THE STYLE OF First Cat-elect SOCKS. Katherine Houpt, a Cornell University animal psychologist, advises Socks to look out for Rose Garden squirrels, which could have rabies. It might also be a good idea to skip those State dinners: they’re full of nosy visitors who want to pick you up and scratch your head. And no matter how rough it gets, don’t take off for Little Rock. It’s 891 miles — roughly 23 million kitty steps — from your new home.
