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.

It wasn’t a natural death. Socks had ‘help’.
“Valhalla, I am coming.”
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have an 18 year old kitty myself.
I hope your kitty is doing well! Older kitties are special.
You were a cool cat
RIP
After months of treatment for cancer. You don’t let an animal keep suffering.
Hard to believe the death of a cat is news.
So, I have to make do with this photo of Pope Benedict XVI exorcising Nancy Pelosi:
I agree with you. I suspect ARKANSIDE !!!
Does anyone know if the cat was recently around Fort Marcy park ??
Certainly the most honest of all the Clintons. RIP little kitty.
catboxes stink.
No, exorcism only works if one is possessed by an evil spirit. When it’s the person themselves it doesn’t do anything.
Geez, don’t give Pelosi an out for her heart-felt passionate beliefs by implying it’s a demon in her that is responsible. SHE IS responsible. And accountable.
Hugs
She seems to be. Does have a thyroid problem though. Yes they are.
My 14 year old short haired calico was euthanized last Monday. Like Socks, she had cancer - Lymphoma.
I’m not a vet, but what I’ve learned from this experience is that cancer in older cats is very very tough to beat. Sometimes the cure is tougher than the disease.
My deepest sympathy to you, Sandy, and to those who loved and cared for Socks. This is my first weekend without Scarlet and I miss her terribly.
Except they had Socks when they still lived in Arkansas.
“Socks and Buddy. The only Clintons I liked.”
Yeah. You and me, too, but even they were sorely tempted to behave like animals while with the Clintons.
It’s a joke.
