BALTIMORE — Socks, the White House cat during the Clinton administration who waged war on Buddy the pup, has died. He was around 19 years old.

Socks had lived with Bill Clinton's secretary, Betty Currie, in Hollywood, Md., since the Clintons left the White House in early 2001.

Currie confirmed Socks' death Friday evening and said she was "heartbroken." She did not give details, referring calls to the Clinton Foundation office.

The foundation released a statement from the Clintons:

"Socks brought much happiness to Chelsea and us over the years, and enjoyment to kids and cat lovers everywhere. We're grateful for those memories, and we especially want to thank our good friend, Betty Currie, for taking such loving care of Socks for so many years."

Socks had reached his late teens _ an advanced age for a cat _ when reports surfaced in late 2008 that he had cancer and Currie had ruled out invasive efforts to prolong his life.

Sad to hear that Natasha Richardson died after a fall on the skiing slopes.  And to think that right after the fall, she wasn't feeling too bad. 

 Paul, you look adorable in your picture.

Oh no Sue!!!! I just you posted in this thread and said to myself "please tell me it's not Natasha Richardson!!"

Oh so so sad!!

Poor Liam and family....
