I'll probably catch hell for this from cat and other animal lovers.

Are you kidding me?! How is this news?! Seriously!! The Clinton's cat is put to sleep It was former President Clinton's family cat. And, I mean it "was" their cat, as in it was no longer their cat. "Since the Clintons left the White House in 2001, Socks had lived with Betty Currie, former President Bill Clinton's secretary."
