British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will soon have to vacate 10 Downing Street – but according to the unanimous opinion of the British, he should stay: Cat Larry, who has been the official mouse catcher for more than ten years. However, if prospective candidate Penny Mordaunt becomes prime minister, Larry may soon have to defend his homeland once morest four Burmese cats, the candidate revealed in an online question-and-answer session on Friday.

Katzen has already seen three heads of government

The four cats are their “greatest weakness,” Mordaunt said at the Tory Party question and answer session. Getting the animals “to 10 Downing Street might be quite a challenge for Larry”. Larry has called Downing Street home since 2011 and has seen three heads of government – David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson. The “chief mouse catcher” even has his own Twitter account with more than 635,000 followers.

And there Larry recently clarified a few things: «1. I’m not Boris Johnson’s cat. 2. Like all Prime Ministers, he is only a passing resident of Downing Street. 3. I live here permanently. When he finally leaves, I’ll stay. And 4. Yes, it’s all very embarrassing, but it’ll be over soon.”
