is a mess; she's forever knocking things over and attacking anything that moves. She's almost 2yrs old but acts like a 4mo old and just keeps us in stitches.

I have a 3 year old male who likes to hide, sometimes in closets. Sometimes I can't find him for hours. If he ever escpapes out the front or back door, it would take me a while to notice. And the little fucker loves to try to dodge around me and dash outside.

Willow looks to be a very sweet, pliable cat, so hopefully they never have to search for her in that big ole building.

I don't think she's looking for treats so much as giving her new territory the once-over.

They are also a good judge of character in people.

Willow should be allowed to attend some meetings to sort the wheat from the chaff.

May Lady Bast hold you close dear Willow.

We all know who the real ruler of of the Whitehouse is...It's Willow.

She's intolerably adorable.

I have seen pictures of cats taking down the whole tree.

But I have no idea really, since I don't know anything about cats.
I have a little dog, a Maltese.

But I am fascinated with all the cat videos. They are such characters.

Thank you.

I love that she's layin' around on people's desks and that cats are being included after a pretty long chunk of time. I can't remember the last cat that was in the White House. Was it the Clinton's Socks?
