See, the thing about Rebecca is that she was sent to Coolridge's white house. To be eaten for turkey day dinner. Rebecca was a raccoon and the Coolridges decided to keep her as a pet instead. She'd participate in events, too, and Calvin was fond enough he built her a little house.
It's a feel good story from a better time.
edit: here's rebecca with the first lady, Grace Coolridge:

Well yeah. Especially since it was a tuxedo cat.
