It’s Larry’s house, the rest are temporary guests.

[@beebeb3524]

Of course there is no way Larry is leaving. The country loves him.

[@ronny-lb1cr]

Why shouldn't Larry stay. He is not a Conservative Brexiteer cat that insist to go as well

[@Gracitagouv]

I just heard abt this 2day. What if ure new PM is allergic?

[@flitsertheo]

Wonder if Larry ever met Queen Elizabeth or King Charles ?

[@Ghostvertigo]

Wow 17! I hope he lives even longer

[@insu_na]

Natural life span of cats is 25-30 years, so if he's treated well he's got a decent future ahead of him

@@frankhooper7871 I guess Larry chose not to go with Cameron ; cats often prefer their territory to owners or perhaps some staff there mean more to him than the Cameron family . You can never quite tell what a cat is thinking .

[@brontewcat]

He was adopted as a mouser, not as a pet. He actually has a title- Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office. The problem with Larry is he is still in the tactical planning stage of mouse catching rather than actually catching mice and rats.

He has not been abandoned. Harry is a state employee until he dies and is well cared for.

[@MaryWindham-mt1jw]

Larry is looking pretty plump and well provided for. I think it's safe to say he was okay with the conservative ticket. Aisle jumping is pretty much uncharted territory and probably has him a little on edge.

[@youkofoxy]

Brits always need a symbol of stability. And with the queen gone, a king that may or may not stay, and prime ministers that last less than vegetables and fruits outside of a fridge. That task falls on the cat Larry who, in typical British fashion, is not unphased by it and just keep calms and carries on.

Larry was never a pet of David Cameron, who isn't particularly keen on cats. Larry is the latest in a long line of civil-service cats brought in as vermin-discouragement operatives.

[@user-eb1sd2vj9r]

Hi. Larry isn’t owned by the Prime Minister as his post is as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office located at 10 Downing Street. It doesn’t matter who the Prime Minister is as he’s not a pet. Being an old building there are sometimes rodents in the area and his job is to keep them away either by catching them or by his presence scaring them away. It’s the same with the cat who used to hold the post of Chief Mouser to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office around the corner, Palmerston.
