"Socks, the cat who won international fame during his years in the Clinton White House, was euthanized Friday after months of treatment for cancer."

It looks like Betty took good care of Socks. I guess the Clintons did not want her.

The reason Socks didn't live with the Clinton's is Socks didn't get along with Buddy the Clinton's dog.

The Clintons had a dog named Buddy and he and Socks did not get along. I doubt the Clintons did not want Socks. Since the Clintons left the White House, Socks has been living with Betty Currie and her husband. She worked as a secretary for President Clinton.

((Socks))

I was going to post this announcement when I saw pachyderm beat me to it!

He had been a stray and was adopted by Chelsea Clinton, the Clintons' daughter, when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas.
"Socks brought much happiness to Chelsea and us over the years, and enjoyment to kids and cat lovers everywhere," Bill and Hillary Clinton said in a joint statement released by the William J. Clinton Foundation. "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."

The black-and-white feline was a fixture at the White House during the Clintons' eight-year run. He was often photographed on the president's shoulder and was given free rein of the presidential residence -- showing up in photos in the Oval Office and White House press briefing room.
