This cat has seen 6 prime ministers and 2 monarchs amazing.

[@Serai-l7z]

You mean 6 prime ministers served under Larry

[@davidfreeman3083]

Feel like the second part means much more tbh...

And yet he doesnt give a damn. What a winner.

[@gopalmitra1164]

Those were supposed to be his butlers

[@user-zs7vr5ds4m]

Long live Larry - the best part of UK government - he is truthful, honest, takes only small food bribes and is a favorite of millions all over the world. Keep him happy and safe.

[@ArtyFactual_Intelligence]

Pension him off. Change is coming.

[@muhdhanif1048]

The real owner of no 10.

[@kristoffermangila]

Indeed.

[@aphaia07]

Nah, no PM owned it anyway, they are just tenants. 10 and 11 are properties of Crown Estate, hence the monarch.

[@theonetheonlyjoey]

Larry tolerates these Prime Ministers and allows their presence, but everyone knows who's really in charge on Downing Street 🐱

[@codymoe4986]

Perfect opportunity to slip in a "Meow-ning Street" and you let it wriggle away like a mouse....

[@theonetheonlyjoey]

@@codymoe4986 I'm ashamed of myself for not spotting that!

[@31Alden]

No doubt.

[@Luvinist]

Larry is ruthless it seems. Just 14 years in office, 5 PM already come and gone.

[@nielszindel1151]

Leaks to the Press I hear or was that Palmerston? One of them does... Delia Morris

[@rustyshackleford1114]

Larry don't care. Larry knows he's the real boss.

[@ChooseCompassion]

Maybe one day Larry will pen a tell all book about what really goes on behind door number 10

[@papercup2517]

I believe in cat publishing, it's usually known as a 'paws and reflect' memoir. After all, a cat would never 'tell ALL'. Humans are simply not yet evolved enough to understand all a cat knows and sees.

[@ChooseCompassion]

@@papercup2517 😹😹😹🫡💯❤️

[@asifgetto]

only good thing about david cameron is recruiting larry.

[@dr.julianbashir9193]

You have got that completely wrong... It was Larry who recruited David.

[@zelarketgame2211]

​@@dr.julianbashir9193 That implies that Larry hired a bad politician, and Larry would never do such a thing

[@dr.julianbashir9193]

@@zelarketgame2211 But by that logic, how could a bad politician be capable of recruiting a cat?

[@jetstream6389]

Larry laid down the law to the new PM by letting him know when he has to be fed. Proof that Larry is the boss at 10 Downing Street.

[@MichalKaczorowski]

They should make a spin-off of "The Crown" just about him.

[@antoniodelaugger9236]

Larry's tension with the other cats would rival any royal political dramas

[@dianaahakim2001]

These politicians don’t deserve Larry. Not one bit.

[@sombochea]

Love Larry so much, keep him safe and take care of him.

[@Xeonerable]

Having a resident cat at 10 downing is a better tradition than the whole british monarchy. lol

[@aphaia07]

Corgis might disagree.

[@kevikiru]

You really don't know what moderation is, do you?

[@vulpes7079]

What, the monarch is basically a resident human for the whole country

[@didanrudinbach3011]

Long live Larry❤

[@skylongskylong1982]

I thought you were going to include the close circuit camera footage of Larry chasing off an urban fox at 2.30am outside number 10, last year.

[@bcox5490]

Larry is a Lannister. The real key holder to No.10.

Larry your the GOAT may you live to see many more years in good health and have a great pension lol

[@lyleslaton3086]

The PMs need to follow Larry's lead.

[@RS-bk5id]

it seems like Larry disliked most of his, I mean Britain's, prime ministers

[@hklassehutten1476]

Vote the Mouser Party

[@user-dg1ho4tj2g]

I am beginning to think that the "laid back" attitude of Larry describes what the Brits have been behaving in the last 14 years - quietly observing, carrying on no matter what, nobly and honorably dressed in immaculate suit, "sitting on the dock of bay, passing time"

[@izact]

Larry is the owner, these pm are just tenants

[@daynnight_lady]

He’s the only constants in 10 Downing Street ❤

[@user-ch7lp9sc7m]

Love live Larry!!

[@9ielts]

He is understandably unimpressed

larry shall have an honorary emblem from the king as he still alive by now. I swear he will be remembered more than any PM that ever lived in 10 downing.

He was there looking out for us and saw off 5 Tory PMs. 😼

[@cashau2965]

....Larry has to stay...if not because he endured, as the only thinking being in downing street, 14 years of tory governments 😂...

[@biocapsule7311]

I would say the crisis begin the moment Tories got into power. But there turns out to be 1 (and only) Brexit benefit, it crippled the Tories.

Fun factoid: Larry's full name is Larry Yaphet.

Surely his middle name should be Nimrod.

I don’t think Larry cares who is in charge as long as there are treats.
