WASHINGTON (AP) – 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 two-year-old, green-eyed, gray and white farm cat from Pennsylvania.
“Willow is settling into the White House with her favourite toys, treats, and plenty of room to smell and explore,” said the First Lady’s spokesperson Michael LaRosa.
Jill Biden had said after Joe Biden was elected in November 2020 that they would bring a kitty to the White House, but her arrival had been delayed. 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.
