The White House cat thinks she owns the place From NY Magazine: When discussing life in the White House during another town hall in July 2021, [Biden] remarked, “It is very hard to get comfortable.” While you might think the addition of a cat would make the White House feel more like a home, it seems that hasn’t solved the problem. In January 2023 the president revealed that his new cat Willow is adding to his discomfort. “Willow may walk in here any time now. She has no limits,” Biden said. “You think I’m kidding, I’m not. Especially in the middle of the night when she climbs up and lays on top of my head.” Of course she has no limits. She’s a cat.
