Socks

Real pet · Clinton family; White House

Socks was the tuxedo cat adopted by the Clinton family in Arkansas. The Clinton Presidential Library describes kittens found under a piano teacher’s porch and explains his name through the white markings on his paws. Clinton Presidential Library: Socks, Buddy and presidential pets.

The library says Socks received hundreds of letters, cards and photographs each month. Volunteers from the U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home helped with replies. That source does not support the much larger weekly mail figure previously printed here.
