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.

I met Barney once. Well, at a short distance, he was pretty well guarded. He looked like a sweetie.

Socks made it to 19 or 20. Hardly a Guinness record, but a respectable age for a cat. I don’t think I’ve personally ever seen a cat older than 20; though I’ve read of some who have lived much longer, they are definitely the exception.
