WASHINGTON (AP) — A gray cat wearing a collar and a name tag that said “Sophie” wandered into the White House grounds.
After the cat meandered through the North Lawn on Friday morning, news reporters scooped it up and took it into the press area for safekeeping. The feline’s owner was called and went to pick it up.
