Since then, questions about when Willow would be joining the first family have come up in interviews with Dr. Biden, and even with White House press secretary Jen Psaki. When asked about Willow during a session where she answered questions via tweet, Psaki said, "I’m also wondering about the cat, because the cat is going to dominate the internet." Within a few hours, Dr. Biden's tweet gained 90,000 likes and 9,000 retweets.

Willow, who was named after Dr. Biden's hometown of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, will be joining Commander, a German shepherd puppy at the POTUS residence. Regarding canine/feline diplomatic relations, Commander has not released an official statement.

According to the Washington Post,only about a dozen cats have been White House pets, compared to over 100 dogs. This the first time since the Bush administration that a cat has resided at the White House. President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura had cat named India. Before that, there was famed Clinton cat Socks, who became the center of controversy when Republicans took issue with taxpayer money funding his mail correspondences.

Is Willow allowed free rein of the East Wing? Does she have a cat tree? Is White House staff concerned about her ripping up antique rugs? We have so many burning questions, but for now we know this: "Willow is settling into the White House with her favorite toys, treats and plenty of room to smell and explore," Mr. LaRosa the the Times.
