PREVIEW

Larry the Cat: The Boss of Downing Street. With Andy Burnham taking office, Britain has welcomed its seventh prime minister in just 10 years. Since the 2016 Brexit referendum, the country has gone through prime ministers at a record pace. But one thing has remained constant at Downing Street. Since 2011, Larry the Cat has been in charge at 10 Downing Street, the British prime minister's official residence, serving as its official Chief Mouser. Now 19 years old, Larry is tasked with keeping rats and mice away from 10 Downing Street. For the past 15 years, the Chief Mouser has worked tirelessly to keep the building rodent-free. Larry was adopted from the Battersea Cats and Dogs Home in 2011 during David Cameron's time as prime minister. The Battersea shelter says the publicity surrounding its famous former resident—now commemorated with a blue plaque—boosted cat adoptions by 15%. Larry has won over journalists and the British public alike, proving more popular than the politicians behind the world's most famous front door And he's equally unfazed when the world's most powerful leaders roll out the red carpet at his home. The famous feline has inspired countless fan pages on social media. He’s already won over the new prime minister, too. Just days ago, Andy Burnham said he wouldn't bring his dog to Downing Street, so as not to upset Larry.
