    I have to defend the Clintons here. Socks was Chelsea's cat, and she was going to the university at the time, and couldn't take Socks with her. Seeing as we had to leave an aging kitteh to spend his golden years with a friend ourselves when we moved from South Carolina to Upstate New York, we can't judge the Clintons, can we?

    I have a tuxedo cat who turned 18 in September. This thread makes me sad -- and also makes me want to watch "Homeward Bound" so I can cry about animals.

    @whitekidinflatbush: I love that movie. So sweet. I would have hated it if it were about people.


    I have a tux cat as well, but she's only 1.

    @RiotGrrrl: I taught preschool for a couple of years and have seen that movie upwards of a million times as a result. Every time-- every freakin single time-- I would lose it when Shadow doesn't come home w/Chance and Sassy. There I'd be in a room full of 3 year olds bawling my eyes out. They'd look at me as if to say "um, you know he's going to come over the hill in a second, right? dumb ass." Oy!

    One of my cats lived to 22. She was completely healthy until the day before she died. Toward the end, she was nothing but fur and bones. Picking her up was like picking up a piece of paper.

    I'll always love that episode of "Murphy Brown" where Murph visits the White House and, while driving home, discovers Socks has climbed into the car.
