Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., welcomed everyone back from the holidays Monday and his cats helped out.  

In a tweet this morning, the 75-year-old is “playing” with his two cats while wearing a suit in a driveway with a basketball hoop.

The congressman’s Twitter account is known for posting moving photographs of his time as a civil rights activist and messages of social justice.  

He returns to work from winter recess this week, along with the rest of the House.
