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.

How many dead pussies have been in the white house?
To: ktscarlett66
Except they had Socks when they still lived in Arkansas.Big deal.
The cat was a prop, either way.

Sorry to hear about Socks. My oldest kitty lived to be around 20, and she passed when I was around 26. Animals are good people. Sometimes, they are the best friends we get.

I’m sorry to hear that. My cat, Frank, was diagnosed with cancer not too long ago. The vet has assured me that he is not in any pain, so I am making his last months as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

I am sorry about Frank. We surely love our furry kids. Lots of FReepers are pet people & know what you are going through & are praying for your painful situation. I am one of them now!

Actually, the first Presidential cat seems to have been Rutherford B. Hayes’s “Miss Pussy.”

Socks and Buddy. The only Clintons I liked.They were both just props that were disposed of by the Clintons, when they no longer needed them.

I’m sorry to hear you’re going to lose Frank.
That’s all we could do with Phoebe. I was with her when she passed away; she held on until I woke up Thursday morning and departed about ten minutes later. Sweet girl.
