First cat down

Socks, the White House Cat from 1993 to 2001, died last week at somewhere between the ages of 18 and 20. He was euthanized due to cancer near his home in Maryland, where he spent his last few years with former presidential secretary Betty Currie. Socks lived an extraordinary life for a cat, going from homelessness to an honored position in the White House. He was a media darling and a spokescat for pets everywhere.
