Gov. Walz says family cat Afton is still missing

The family's latest addition, Honey, is a rescue cat, according to Walz.

Walz posted about Honey on social media, reporting that she has already discovered some favorite spots around the house: under the Christmas tree and on top of whatever the governor is trying to read.
