Socks the Clinton's cat at the podium

[Fla Dem]

7. Socks, gone but not forgotten.

When the Clintons left the White House in 2001, they took Buddy to their new home, but left Socks under the care of Bill Clinton's secretary, Betty Currie. Buddy would die within a year, being hit by a car in 2002.[7]

By June 2008, Socks was still living with Currie and her husband in Hollywood, Maryland, about 60 miles from Washington, but had a thyroid condition, hair loss, weight loss, and kidney problems.[8]

In December 2008, Socks was reported to be in failing health, apparently suffering from cancer.[9] Socks was euthanized on February 20, 2009, in Hollywood, Maryland,[10] after suffering cancer of the jaw.[4]
