The First Cat of the Clinton administration, Socks, has passed away from cancer at age 18.
Socks came into the Whitehouse as Chelsea Clinton’s pet, and then lived with Bill Clinton’s secretary Betty Currie after Clinton left the Whitehouse in 2001.
The Clinton family released the following statement: “Socks brought much happiness to Chelsea and us over the years, and enjoyment to kids and cat lovers everywhere. We’re grateful for those memories, and we especially want to thank our good friend, Betty Currie, for taking such loving care of Socks for so many years.”
