Presidential Pet Update: Socks Back in the White House?

Published December 16, 2008

President-elect Barack Obama has chosen a number of former President Bill Clinton’s staff members to be a part of his team, but now the furriest Clintonite is also signed on.

Clinton’s cat Socks may soon be back in the White House!

Since his presidential owner left office, Socks has been living with Clinton’s secretary Betty Curie in Maryland. And Curie was just hired by Obama’s transition co-chairman John Podesta as his secretary. So Socks is in the presidential circle once again.

Unfortunately, the cute and lovable former First Pet’s age is very advanced (he’s 19) and Socks has been battling cancer. He is not expected to live much longer, but has certainly lived a full and exciting 9 lives.
