Larry. Chief mouser.

He’s put up with toddlers, dogs, Donald Trump. Five changes of staff already.

He’s soldiered on, fifteen long years of dedicated service. Not so much as a pay rise.

Come on cat fans, isn’t it time we stepped up and rescued Larry?

YANBU - That cat deserves better.
YABU - Larry is the only thing keeping the country running. He can handle this shit.

Larry gets my vote.

HRTQueen · 24/05/2024 19:24

I think he is probably has some say over matters look at the evidence

he didn’t like the new decor Boris was out

he obviously despised Lizz on sight she was out very quickly

being a cat he is only interested in what is going on around him

Let's face it, Larry has more ethics and morals when he is licking his own arse than most politicians.

Cats don't like getting wet and apparently they don't have umbrellas at No. 10.
So my only suggestion would be to send Larry an umbrella. That would be my mini tweak to the status quo.

I was very impressed on Wednesday that while Sunak looked like a drowned rat, Larry looked remarkably dry and pristine.

BirthdayRainbow · 24/05/2024 19:35

I was upset he waited ages for the door to be opened on Wednesday then when it was two humans walked out and he ran off.

If he's anything like any cat I've ever known, of he didn't want to be there, he'd move on.

I reckon he must like to be around rats and snakes. After all the place seems to be full of them.

Time for new rats as this lot are leaving the sinking ship.

Larry has already confirmed that he stays indoors in the rain as only an idiot goes out in it, so I don’t think he has much need for an umbrella.

A previous quote from Larry's Twitter account
“The King has asked me to become Prime Minister because this nonsense has gone on long enough.”

cheesychipsontheoche · 24/05/2024 19:51

He meows a lot of sense on Twitter, he's got my vote

RawBloomers · 24/05/2024 19:57

Are people really so blind to Larry’s true nature? Larry has been manipulating the country from behind the scenes for years. He is evil, I tell you. He’s the real power and we will only rise up from the dregs of corruption and nepotism when he and all his fat cat friends are gone.

I am heartened by this show of support for the humble street cat Larry. From being abandoned on the mean streets of Battersea to Downing Street. An inspirational story we can all get behind.

In Larry we trust.

After what I have seen of the rulers in both the UK and Ireland I reckon we could not to any worse with Larry in charge

TiredCatLady · 24/05/2024 21:14

Larry is a solid option - 15 years of service without so much as a tuna steak. Left outside on the windowsill, didn’t even fit a catflap for him. And still he’s there doing his duty.

Hmmm dirty tricks already

Was the doggo you camp with accompanying you at the time? Wink

I thought there had been more than one Larry.

campingwithdoggo · 25/05/2024 00:49

@LongSinceGotUpAndGone she is terrified of cats

From what I have heard Larry is very much in control at number 10 and completely spoilt

Sounds like description of Boris 'Partygate;' Johnson 😁

Larry is the only dependable life form in Downing Street.
