He liked regular cats a whole lot? Or he was a big fan of tigers and leopards?

Regular cats, he kept rescuing and bringing cats into his house iirc, to dismay of his wife. He also had 2 cats called Tabbie and Dixie.

Lmao naming one of his cats Dixie while he was in the White House is hilarious.

When the Civil War ended and the South’s defeat announced, Lincoln was at a party and ordered the band to play Dixie as a sign of respect.

You sure he didn’t tell them to play with Dixie and they misinterpreted it?
