No One Could Hold Socks Back

Socks was then bound for greatness, although he sometimes squirmed from the spotlight!

Sock's looked exactly like my buddy Chin. Chin passed away last year. Maybe they will meet up in kitty heaven.

Aw, I remember getting so happy as a kid when I read that his name was my cat's name too (they both have the same pattern on their chest too, hee). So sad. We'll miss you Socks!

So could we take sock's skin and make slippers, then it would be socks and slippers together?

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.
