The United States has had many Presidents bring pets to the White House and many of those Presidents also brought cats. Joe Biden is the latest President to bring a cat to the White House, dubbed Willow, which means we now know who’s really in charge of the country these days.

Abraham Lincoln was the first President to keep cats in the White House, named Tabby and Dixie. Lincoln’s loved cats, which probably explains why so many people still adore and love Abraham Lincoln. The general rule is that if you become President, bring a cat to the White House and you’ll get more people to like you while your cat controls the country in secret.
