Socks, the beloved White House cat during the Clinton administration, died yesterday after being euthanized following a diagnosis of cancer in his jaw. He was 20.Born in 1989, Socks was adopted by the Clintons in 1991 after he jumped into the arms of Chelsea Clinton as she was leaving the house of her piano teacher in Little Rock, Arkansas. When Bill Clinton won the presidency in 1992, Socks moved with the family to the White House, where he remained until the end of the administration in January, 2001.
Since then, the feline has lived with Betty Currie, Clinton's secretary during his presidency.
