In the video from The Dodo, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and 3-year-old Willow showed off the White House's magical Christmas transformation as part of its Magic, Wonder, and Joy theme.

Dodo Producer Joanna Zelman jokes that she's "never been so nervous to meet a cat," and the short-haired tabby did not disappoint!

According to Zelman, Willow is "maybe the friendliest cat I've ever pet. And I've pet a lot of cats!"

This year marks the rescue kitty's second holiday season with the Bidens.
