Socks, former White House cat, euthanized - The CNN Wire - CNN.com Blogs:

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

Socks, who was born in 1989, was put to sleep about 10 a.m. at Three Notch Veterinary Clinic in Hollywood, Maryland, said veterinary assistant Rae Dera.

The cat had been losing weight since November and had been treated at the clinic, Dera said. He had been suffering from a cancer in his mouth and jaw.

At least he lived a good long life, though.

How sad. But he was one old cat. I'm still mad at Bill for dumping him on his secretary when he left the White House.

Poor Socks.

I do know just where that vet's clinic is though. Odd.

Oh poor sweetie... That sounds just like what happened to my precious Siamese Mourka. She had oral cancer as well and I had to let her go in early April last year. I still miss her, every day.
