in The White House alwaysPresident Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have finally added
Furbabies in The White House always tell us alot about the people who live there. And now President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have finally added the long-promised cat to their pet family.
Her name is Willow, and she's a 2-year-old, green-eyed, gray and white farm cat from Pennsylvania.
“Willow is settling into the White House with her favorite toys, treats, and plenty of room to smell and explore,” said Michael LaRosa, the first lady's spokesperson. The Bidens said in 2020 that a cat would be coming to live with them and last month the White House said the cat would come in January.
The first lady named Willow after her hometown of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania.
The short-haired tabby made quite an impression on Jill Biden after jumping up on stage and interrupting her remarks during a 2020 campaign stop in Pennsylvania, LaRosa said.
“Seeing their immediate bond, the owner of the farm knew that Willow belonged with Dr. Biden,” he said.
The last White House cat was India, President George W. Bush's cat.
