Weird But Cool – Larry The Cat Chief Mouser Outlasts 4 Prime Ministers.
His appointment at 10 Downing Street began on Feb. 15, 2011, after TV cameras spotted a rat outside the entrance. The U.K. Cabinet, under Cameron, rescued the cat from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and officially appointed him as Chief Mouser, according to the U.K. government website.
And as the British public awaits the identity of its fifth prime minister in just six years, Larry is vowing that he will remain in his position for as long as he can.

“Lots of people asking whether it’s Liz Truss or Jeremy Hunt who’s in charge,” his unofficial account posted on Monday. “It’s neither. I am. I’ll be here long after they’re both gone.”
