First Lady Jill Biden’s office is reporting the arrival of two-year-old, gray-and-white-striped, short-haired and green-eyed female cat Willow. The name is a reference to Willow Grove (Pennsylvania), where the later university teacher grew up.

Willow has “plenty of room to smell and explore” in the White House, says spokesman Jill Biden.
‘Cat belongs to Biden’
The cat made a big impression on her in 2020 when the animal jumped on a podium during the election campaign and interrupted her speech. When the cat’s owner saw the direct connection between the two, he immediately realized “that Willow belonged to Dr. Biden,” the spokesperson said.
In December, the Bidens welcomed a new dog into the family, the German Shepherd Commander, who was then four months old. Their dog Champ died earlier last year. Major, a German Shepherd the family adopted before the move to the White House, has been relocated after several biting incidents.
