[Central News Agency]Britain’s “first cat” Larry, who lives in the British Prime Minister’s residence, was involved in political turmoil today: a high-profile candidate for the prime minister revealed that he may move into the residence with 4 cats. Where will Larry go? become the focus of attention.
Agence France-Presse reported that the current British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is about to step down, and the gambling industry is most optimistic about Penny Mordaunt, the deputy secretary of international trade. When she was asked what her biggest weakness was during a question-and-answer session hosted by Conservative Home, a website for Conservative supporters, she revealed she had four Burmese cats.

“Bringing them into 10 Downing Street might present some challenges for Larry,” Mordant said.
Larry has lived in the British Prime Minister’s residence for more than 10 years. It was raised by former Prime Minister David Cameron in 2011 in order to solve the rodent problem in his official residence. After Cameron resigned, Larry stayed and changed to a new owner, Theresa May; Johnson took office after May left, and Larry was still at the official residence.
Larry, who holds the title “Chief Mouser at the Cabinet Office,” also has his own unofficial Twitter account @Number10cat, which has 635,000 followers.
Earlier this month, the scandal-plagued Johnson announced that he would formally step down once a successor was chosen. And Larry also “clarified a few things” on social media.
The tweet said: “Point 1, I’m not Johnson’s cat. Point 2, like all Prime Ministers in the past, Johnson is only a temporary Downing Street resident. Point 3, I’m a permanent resident here. When he finally leaves , I’ll stay. Point 4, yes, it’s embarrassing, but it’s going to end soon.”
Time to clarify a few things:
1. I’m not “Boris Johnson’s cat”
2. Like all Prime Ministers, he’s only a temporary resident of Downing Street
3. I live here permanently. When he finally goes, I stay
4. Yes, it’s all very embarrassing but it will be over soon— Larry the Cat （@Number10cat） July 7, 2022

Larry watched the ups and downs of global politicians at the Prime Minister’s official residence. In 2019, when the former British Prime Minister May and his wife met with the former US President Trump and his wife, he sat on the window sill of the official residence and watched indifferently.

Although Larry is the “first cat” in the UK, he is very “close to the people”, and primary school students who pass by after school often stop to pet him and tease him. (Bloomberg)
