Remembering Socks: Former First Cat Dies
You may recognize this feline as a former "first pet" — Socks joined the Clinton family for both terms in the White House. After they left in early 2001, the kitty took up residence in Hollywood, MD, with Bill Clinton's secretary, Betty Currie. The cat was nearly 18 and battling lung cancer when Currie confirmed Socks's death this evening, saying that she was "heartbroken." Follow Socks's story and start this slideshow of his big moments during the DC years. We'll miss you!

Aww, goodbye Socks! I remember loving news of him as a kid. Seeing him and Buddy made me want a cat and dog, too, and as soon as my family bought a home instead of renting, we got our Sacha cat and Snoopy dog.
