Socks the Clinton Cat

In the early hours of a June morning I was in Washington and running from my hotel past the White House and around the back of the building. There was a taped off area of which I thought nothing but then noticed a helicopter and getting in one Bill Clinton. At this point I was aware of a very large black gentleman indicating I should leave the area which I did promptly. Nonetheless although known for many things one of his White House cats was Socks ( a cat that features in the novel 'The Great Cat Plague - Year Zero') Here he is.
