BALTIMORE – Socks, the White House cat during the Clinton administration who waged war on Buddy the pup, has died. He was around 18.
Socks had lived with Bill Clinton's secretary, Betty Currie, in Hollywood, Md., since the Clintons left the White House in early 2001.
Currie confirmed Socks' death Friday evening and said she was "heartbroken." She did not give details, referring calls to the Clinton Foundation office.
The foundation released a statement from the Clintons:
"Socks brought much happiness to Chelsea and us over the years, and enjoyment to kids and cat lovers everywhere. We're grateful for those memories, and we especially want to thank our good friend, Betty Currie, for taking such loving care of Socks for so many years

2. Weird how we only found out about the Bush's cat after it died. They gave a couple away...

before moving into the White House.

Bubba was violently allergic to Socks.

3. "Socks enjoyed sitting in the sun ...

...and that Currie doted on him, cooking him special chicken dinners."

Awww. Beloved ol Socks had a good and long life. I hope he didn't suffer too much before finally leaving us. Across rainbow bridge, there is LOTS of sun for him to sit in and he's prolly doing that right now all whole and healthy again.
