Paddles was a popular multiple-toed orange and white cat owned by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her partner Clarke Gayford. She was a rescue cat adopted from the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Gaining fame as the 'first cat' of New Zealand after Ardern took office, Paddles even had a Twitter account created in her name. She became notable during a phone call between Ardern and U.S. President Donald Trump, where she interrupted the conversation. Paddles tragically died after being hit by a car.
