Former Vice President Joe Biden is using National Cat Day to gin up support for putting a pet back in the White House.

The 2020 presidential candidate on Tuesday called on his Instagram followers to pitch in to his campaign, saying in a post that "it’s time we put a pet back in the White House."

"Some Americans celebrate #NationalCatDay, some celebrate #NationalDogDay — President Trump celebrates neither. It says a lot," Biden wrote in a post.

The message accompanied a photo of Biden and the German Shepherd he and his wife, Jill Biden, adopted from the Delaware Humane Association (DHA) last November.

Trump is the first president in more than 100 years to not own an official White House pet. Former President Obama owned two dogs during his time as presidency.

Trump said at a rally in El Paso, Texas, earlier this year that he wouldn't mind owning a dog, but that he doesn't "have the time."

14. Other than Socks, it's always been dogs. I want cats again!

And not just one. Two, or three. And they should be rescues. Also: They should stay with the next President until they die of old age, not get shunted off to a neighbor or whatever it was that the Clintons gave poor Socks to when he got to be inconvenient to keep around.

20. Trump hates dogs

and dogs don't like him either.

[betsuni]

21. There is a cat in the White House.

My theory: Malaria Trump is one of the Cat People. She's from that part of the world and looks like a cat. I think I am correct about this.

[Gothmog]

22. In all seriousness, won't it be great to have a dog lover back in the White House?

31. You can't trust people who hate animals

Think about all the ones on the endangered species list that tRump is trying to do away with, even if its just to make money.

Some presidents have had menageries at the White House. Teddy Roosevelt comes to mind. The Kennedy's had ponies. Wonder how Baron feels about pets?

Dogs know you love them, and return it ten-fold. Just watch Biden's.
