Poor Socks. At least he had a good run. Truly a class act -- never signed a tell-all book deal, for one thing.

19-20 years is a spectacular run for a cat. That's pretty impressive.

Will there be a state funeral at the local pet cemetary? And will we have black-and-white Secret Service cats escorting the coffin?

I <3 kitties. They are fuzzy and warm. The world suffers from Socks passing due to an increased lack of fuzzywarmnessawesomeness.

There used to be plenty of them. Because they let him run around the White House wherever he pleased, there are photos of him around the Oval and everything.

I think Socks deserves a state funeral

I read that in the article but I certainly don't remember seeing any of them. Let alone any of him sitting on Clinton's shoulder. I should probably go ask Google.

:eek: Monica Lewinsky actually kept in her fridge one of her gowns with Socks' hair on it!

Anyway, Socks was one of the reasons to like Bill's presidency. Bye, Socks, just Caturdays from now on.

Poor Socks. At least he had a good run. Truly a class act -- never signed a tell-all book deal, for one thing.A very classy cat indeed and perhaps the most noble of the Clintons.


I think Socks deserves a state funeral That would be pretty good.


PS:If not there is one thing we can do. Tell the internet, from now on the third Caturday of Febuary will be in memory of Socks.

EDIT: Though I doubt this will be read, I will move it to the first Caturday in Febuary in memory of Both India and Socks.

Except, you know, it was actually dick cheney who injected the poor cat with a very slow acting poison :p

no doubt Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office Sybil will soon be making a press conference

Obama had the cat killed.

that little girl of his has gone too far but I suspect this is nothing more than the signature work of Mrs Blair!

20 is a very, very long life for a cat.

Still, I think it's fair to say we all get a little sad when adorable kitties die.

Poor socks. At least he had a good run, 20 being absolutely ancient for a cat.

Waiting for someone to tell me that she was dead. Bummer! Not a good time for Presidential cats.

Omg! He walked the cat!

It's always sad when kitties die. Poor Socks. It does seem like he had a good run and a good life though.
