Decorate your tree with the world's first digital first cat ornament! Socks is featured on the White House server in both audio and video.
The story of how that audio of the cat was obtained is told here for the first time in an exclusive IMS Cat Scoop.
Dozens of high-level policy aides were involved in putting the White House WWW server together. In a series of deliberations over several months, they debated how to handle the "Socks Issue." Some were in favor of simply getting audio of any cat, but cooler minds prevailed. Just imagine if the press had found out that there was a fake cat conspiracy in cyberspace!
To avoid any possibility of SocksGate, a delegation of senior aides trailed the cat for hours until they backed it into a corner and had it squeal for mercy. Suggestions by a member of the press that the whole thing could have been dispensed with in a matter of minutes by shoving a microphone in its mouth and stepping on its tail were not taken kindly.
