During the 2020 election campaign, Jill Biden was participating in a rally on a farm in Pennsylvania (United States), when a curious cat walked through the act, greeting the attendees.
Little could the feline, today called Willow, suspect that a few months later he would stop living in a barn to live in the White House, along with the president and first lady of the United States.
The bond that was generated between Mrs. Biden and the cat made the farmer offer to take it with him.
Willow's story has been made public through an audiovisual collaboration on social networks between the animalist portal
The Dodo
and the White House itself, on the occasion of National Pet Day, which can be seen in the video that accompanies this news.
The relationship between pets and presidential families is not something recent, in fact some of the records of names of animals in Washington DC date back to the early twentieth century.
In this video some of them are shown, most of them dogs like those of John Fitzgerald Kennedy or Richard Nixon, another cat of a Democratic president and other less conventional pets: From the cow Pauline, to the raccoon Rebecca or the macaw Eli .
