Re: Larry the Cat
Larry has lived there for 11 years. Certainly a lot longer than the last 3 leaders of HMG.

Re: Larry the Cat
I think Larry is getting on a bit now he is 15 years old now.
He was a rescue cat.
David Cameron adopted Larry in February 2011 from a rescue home for cats and dogs to deal with an infestation of rats. The 4-year-old tabby was known as a “good ratter” and Downing Street officials told the BBC Larry had “a high chase-drive and hunting instinct.” Larry later became the first cat to hold the official title of Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office.
Larry, the chief mouser to the cabinet office, has responded after the government announced it has recruited a new cat. Larry is not happy and has put a contract out on Attlee.
Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, introduced Attlee, a four-month-old brown tabby Maine Coon in a post to Twitter on Monday 20 June.

Re: Larry the Cat
Probably has or will put the hard word on Attlee through the National Health Service by getting them to refuse him his Cat Jabs and then weeing in his basket in the hope he catches the Monkey Pox which he suspects the past resident of number 10 gave to him while being fondled . However as cats have 9 lives , he has another 8 ways to consider as well. JS
