Ginger cat named Biden is beloved resident of Dnipro City Council

After former Vice President Joseph Biden was proclaimed the 46th president of the United States on Nov. 7, the Ukrainian political establishment rushed to publish their congratulations and photographs with the president-elect on social media.

But posts by local officials in Dnipro, a city of 1 million residents located 500 kilometers southeast of Kyiv, unexpectedly stood out: They all featured pictures of a cute ginger cat with an American flag on his collar. The pet, it turned out, is a resident of the city council building and was named after former U.S. vice president upon adoption.
