White House Pets - Socks

Socks, the well-known "first cat" under Bill and Hilary Clinton, was not actually their feline. Instead, Socks belonged to their daughter Chelsea, as both Bill and Hilary are allergic to cats!

Socks was adopted by the Clintons in 1991 after he jumped into the arms of Chelsea while she was leaving the house of her piano teacher in Little Rock, Arkansas. After Bill Clinton became President, Socks moved with the family from the governor's mansion to the White House and became the principal pet of the First Family in Clinton's first term, though he was known to share his food and water with a stray tabby, dubbed "Slippers."
