Larry the Cat, the United Kingdom's 'chief mouser,' is the star of 10 Downing Street
With the United Kingdom ’s elections on July 4, Keir Starmer is now set to become the country’s new prime minister.
A gray and white tabby believed to be about 16 years old, Larry was first brought to 10 Downing St. in 2011, said the AP. Justin Ng, a freelance photographer who is known for his shots of Larry, told the AP that he believes the tabby has “universal appeal.” “So he basically has this way of, you know, posing for all of us. And I think he’s also quite aware and quite media savvy when it comes to big moments.” Larry the Cat’s lengthy tenure at 10 Downing St. has even led people to associate the prime minister’s residence with him, not the person who actually lives there.
“He has captured the hearts of the Great British public and the press teams often camped outside the front door. In turn, the nation sends him gifts and treats daily,” said the U.K. government’s website.
