🇬🇧 Larry
Tabby cat, Chief Mouser · 10 Downing Street, London
Lives in City Block
Adopted from Battersea in 2011 as a civil servant, not a pet. Has now outlasted SEVEN prime ministers. Sits imperiously on the doorstep of power, demands the famous black door be opened for him, and once delayed a Trump motorcade by napping under the Cadillac.
What they do
Lounges on the No 10 doorstep, ignoring photographers, as governments fall behind him.
Unbothered permanent civil servant. Governments fall. Larry remains.
Lore
- ★Officially employed as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office
- ★His parody account has more followers than most cabinet ministers
- ★Nearly 20 years old and still holding the doorstep
