Britain’s most powerful politicat 🐈
Larry the Cat has now outlasted six Prime Ministers during his time at 10 Downing Street.
The Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office moved into Number 10 in 2011, when David Cameron was Prime Minister, after being adopted from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
Since then, he has seen off Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer.
According to Downing Street, Larry’s official duties include greeting guests, inspecting security defences and “testing antique furniture for napping quality”.
At this point, he’s less of a pet and more of a political institution.
