The Cat Who Rules at 10 Downing Street

The British government got a new Prime Minister last week when the Labour Party gained a majority in the Parliament. Keir Starmer took over the job from Rishi Sunak and moved into the official residence and office at 10 Downing Street. Prime Ministers come and go, but the staff at the residence remains the same. That includes Larry, the Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office. Larry has held the office since 2011, and Starmer is his 6th master of the house.

Larry is one of the longer-tenured cats to hold the office of Chief Mouser. He is also the first known to serve six Prime Ministers, while several have served five. Let's take a look at this traditional and honored occupation.

We wish Larry the best of luck with his new housemate. -via Metafilter ā€‹
