Today, February 20, is commemorated worldwide International Cat Day, but what not many know is why this date was chosen to remember these beloved felines. For those who have ever heard the name Socks (Spanish stockings), they will have an idea. This cat was the mascot of the American ex-president Bill clinton and quickly became one of the best known and loved animals in the United States.
Socks He went from being a stray cat to having many luxuries, being the only pet in the family Clinton in the White House until the First Family took over Buddy, a Labrador Retriever.

This pet lived in the White House between 1993 and 2009 and had great popularity. He went with the family to events in hospitals, schools, had a video game that did not see the light and was even present in the press room through a photograph.
Socks He died in 2009, on February 20, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare and other groups decided that day would become International Cat Day. The intention was to choose a date to honor these animals, remember the care they deserve and encourage their adoption. The organization takes the opportunity to remember how beneficial it is to sterilize and vaccinate them to live healthy.
