Yeah, the Clintons loved that cat so much they gave him away once they left the Whitehouse.

Socks didn't get along with the frisky Buddy, so the White House had to keep the two in separate quarters. Since this arrangement would be no longer possible in the Clintons' smaller home in New York, Socks was left under the care of Bill Clinton's secretary, Betty Currie.

if they had socks for six years before getting the dog, why did they decide to keep the dog?

I thought he died ages ago.

They say dogs get more attached to their owners, but I guess it depends on the cat, because my cats hated everyone but me.
Anyway, RIP Socks.

Socks found Buddy's intrusion intolerable; according to Hillary Clinton, Socks "despised Buddy from first sight, instantly and forever." Bill Clinton said, "I did better with ... the Palestinians and the Israelis than I've done with Socks and Buddy."
