Chief Mouser - The Downing Street Cats

[@KokkiePiet]

We shall catch mice in the attic, we shall catch mice in the basement and catch mice in the kitchen, and we shall never, never surrender

[@Bottlekiller]

Now THIS is the type of hard-hitting and extremely relevant historical exposé we all yearn for

[@thereforeayam]

Thinking of making it my thesis, due end of March

[@danielschein6845]

When he said that the chief mouser made a statement on returning to his official duties at 10 Downing I was expecting the statement to be, "Meow".

[@Forde1980]

"Vermin is a continuous problem in Downing Street." - yes, yes, but what about the animals, Mark?

[@rubaidaallen2764]

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 my sentiments exactly

[@FrancesShear]

Or the aging grand looking only on the outside 24/7 infrastructure being served by so many more and more low paid domestic help employees?

[@johnwhite9760]

"Never, in the field of vermin control, was so much owed by so many to so few."

[@danthemanx999]

Good one.

[@stevefromwork6136]

The pic of that cat being escorted out loool

[@JamesJ422]

The usual intro theme whilst showing a cat stalking around. Purely menacing

[@robert48044]

I know I enjoyed it.

[@Smason432]

I had to rewatch the introduction. Hilarious

[@shahriarsyeed8202]

I freaked out!

[@bruotsynh3992]

Haha... the best juxtaposition. So dramatic.

[@canbrit4621]

Cat.... Jagdpanther same diff lol so cool awesome job Mark

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

I love how indignant Palmerston looks as he is being escorted away by the Constable @10:00

[@linkieloos]

That cat is such a badass walking along to that opening music.

[@nickirmen6671]

Can we all appreciate Mark's impression of Churchill talking about a cat?

[@Fishmanglitz]

Making a pointless glamorous sounding title to a mundane job complete with giving him a Union Jack bowtie is the most British thing ever. I approve.

[@GSimpsonOAM]

I wonder what Trump made of the situation?

[@SirDrFish]

"Peta proved to be idle, ill-suited to the job, and not toilet-trained. Peta was quietly retired to the country by the government for fear of taking other Minister's job's."

[@secondsun7727]

Ouch!!!!!!!

[@johnn1768]

This story is one of the most interesting and funny I have seen.

[@anhduynguyendinh1167]

It must be a big scandal when 2 respectful British Government Employees battaling to the death on the street and police have to get involve 🤣🤣🤣

[@briangreen6602]

That Churchill impression .....

[@louisrorison8457]

Amazing

[@mustachehorse1221]

“Nelson was the bravest cat I’ve ever knew.” -Winston Churchill

[@Bedfordshireman]

"During which time rats were actually filmed scurrying along Number 10's front steps" Now now, that's no way to talk about cabinet ministers!

[@pathutchison9866]

Lol. That picture of the cat being escorted out made me laugh for ten minutes. Great vid.

[@gideonhorwitz9434]

Love how seriously he’s taking this

[@williamkeith8944]

Chief Mouser has longer service than most prime ministers; and I daresay more productive in honest service 😽

[@hkhjg1734]

after humfry’s war crimes he fled to the royal medical college where he was captured and brought back to face his tribunal.

[@oxanaburdenkova2627]

Poor humfry... But he will be remembered and loved as a hero unlikely this ugly wife. Anyway It was better for Tony to choose Humfry

[@rollkaiser5805]

The intro music with the cat walking is priceless.

[@johnphillips519]

"Nelson is the bravest cat i've ever known" W.C. 🤣

[@FGH9G]

6:42 "But a thorough investigation found Humphrey to be innocent..." Judge: "How do you plead Mr. Humphrey?" Humphrey: "Meow." 😂😂😂

[@artinyyk]

Good to know that even cats don’t like Cherie Blair.

[@secondsun7727]

LOL - one wiff and they knew that pussy was bad😛

[@dormousecat3947]

Whoa, the stand-off between Larry and Palmerston made me chuckle.

[@meowleo9382]

I love how Larry's life is so documented.

[@kimberlyoldschool]

Everyone who owns a cat understands that gentle little boot to the backside at 5:29 - “Do you want to go inside or not?!”

[@63bplumb]

Loved the Bobby ringing the door bell then kind of booting it in when it decided to take it's time!

[@Trek001]

The...Churchill...Impression... I can't breathe for laughing so hard

[@EFChartley]

XD 🇬🇧

[@pauldunai305]

Wow, "putting down" employees once they've retired is a bit rough

[@maggiee639]

Paul Dunai they were probably sick and dying

[@secondsun7727]

Well you know the whole pension thing. He's gone and there was nothing we could do. NYC 😎

[@Josephpesoj]

This is great, I can tell you enjoyed making this one.

[@MarkFeltonProductions]

My own Chief Mouser Molly also enjoyed this one!

[@richardshilling2958]

Brilliant loved it.

[@warpartyattheoutpost4987]

My Chief Mouser Mitz is under house arrest for fighting. We had to take her to the vet for her battle wounds and it cost us $500 bucks. Totally worth it, but I don't wanna do it again.

[@Pantheragem]

I don't have chief mousers. I have chief annoyers.

[@JonBowe]

That Moronic smile by Mrs Blair holding Humphrey is where the Joker got his satanic smile from.

[@arrowshot3000]

lmao if the cat waits at the door, the policeman has to ring the doorbell 😂

[@Jimmy_Jones]

Those are da rules.

[@sledstorm4703]

"and the police had to escort him out" im dying xd

[@adamoneal6476]

This was the most British thing that I have ever experienced.

[@hotrodparker]

Mark, you're the best narrator in the world today "Having savaged an innocent duck" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOVE IT !!!!!!!!

[@jonclassical5710]

Dr. Felton, we need a serious UPDATE!!!!!

[@katierandall9191]

It's such a great tradition. That picture of Palmerston being escorted out is fantastic 😆 I do love being British 😊

[@thecursor1]

Humphrey was accused of a crime he didn't commit and went on the lamb. I'm now picturing a James Bond style espionage thriller where he fights to restore his good name.

[@AngelDame17]

Can I note that nearly all of the Downing Mousers are adopted Strays? If it's good for the Prime Minster it's good for you, so Get down to a shelter! XD

[@drpancakes7897]

This is hands down the best episode ever!

[@laszlokaestner5766]

While working at the Home Office during the sixties my mother was responsible for signing off on Peta's allowance. Apparently that cat was as bad as her reputation suggests and had a habit of peeing on official government documents!

[@steamengineshooray]

This is extremely enjoyable, I think we speak for all of us when we'd like to see more light hearted but historical videos like this in the future~

[@jonmcgee6987]

Humphrey looks like he's going to mess somebody up.

[@rominetheband1]

Love that there are cat scandals.

[@bobnagel6449]

When I was a kid we lived in an apartment that had vermin, we got a cat that really cleaned up the problem. He was my super hero.

[@M3au]

If Theresa May had left Brexit negotiations to Larry, she might still be in office today.

[@jldldr3933]

He actually covered this topic in all seriousness. I love it.

[@firefightergoggie]

Finally! My girlfriend actually watched Mark Felton with me. It took cats to do it, but it happened. Good work, Mark.

[@shannonnezul4903]

Acused of savaging an innocent duck, I lost it idk how mark kept a straight face. Happy new year unofficial history channel. Also still better than cats the not so musical movie.

[@alexspalding4945]

WILBERFORCE! That’s the best name I’ve ever heard for a kitty

[@BadSkeelz]

When you hear that intro music, you know there's a good chance you're going to get a story about menacing big cats: Panthers, Tigers, Humphrey...

[@LordPickles03]

This is one of your best videos. The intro music over a cat running around, the Churchill impression, the serious tone. A true masterpiece

[@papapudding]

Rest in Peace Humphrey, 9th Chief Mouser, we'll never see his like again.

[@celtisafricana4984]

Having lost my dear old girl Kwikkie to old age on Christmas Day, this video certainly helped to end this year on a better note. Thank you, and a happy new year to you.

[@veronicamatsulis4527]

Farming and civilization would not have been possible without cats protecting grain. Great mews.

[@marklutz8499]

I must say, being a cat person myself, this was pure genius. Top 5 video to say the least. Thank you.

[@skiingcrocodile2153]

Oh man this was funny, never expected to laugh so hard at mark's same serious tone and storytelling style he has in every other video, happy new year indeed Mr Felton, brought a smile on my rough 2020 start

[@vvvppp6021]

Not a bad ending video for this decade, Happy new year Mark, hope you keep filling us with knowledge this year too!

[@MartintheTinman]

Half the World is already in January

[@yossarian644]

"Peta was eventually quietly retired to the country". Eeuuh, Mark there's something you should know...

[@ryanboyle1530]

Never thought Mark could upload a video that would make me love him even more than I do now

[@evilfingers4302]

As a Cat Person, this is the most interesting doc on cats I have ever watched on KZbin. Happy New Year to you too Mark and everyone else.

[@magentaMegi]

Evil Fingers you can also watch a documentary on Cats of the Hermitage and Cats of Istanbul

[@davids9520]

Amazing. No mention of any sordid tales of sexual encounters by any of the cats! Government cover up? Or a 'fix'? Histories mysteries.

[@robert48044]

There was the Humphrey/Robin scandal as well Larry vs Palmerston.

[@heybooitsme6016]

"Vermin is a continuous problem in Downing Street" (6:13) Typical British understatement.

[@BazilRat]

I have to laugh at the dramatic music with videos of the cat prowling around.

[@roryhigsmit]

Classic David Cameron, bring in a Cat from a poor background (Larry) for an important position just to seem pro-social mobility, before quickly replacing him with a toff cat. Nepotism at its finest. This is why our country is running like a rusty clock.

[@alittlewheiser521]

I have a fantastic male mouser too named Sylvester. He was a feral but with 2 years of patience he's now a love bug. Normally mommas are the best mousers. I'm trying to keep the number of new mousers down by catching the ferals for TNR. It's a never ending expensive job. Thank you for the interesting story and the humor! Love it!!!

[@franzfanz]

6:48 Humphrey later said that he was just following orders.

[@Creamy_Lemon]

This is honestly the finest thing I've ever watched on KZbin.

[@nitewarden]

"Accused of having savaged an innocent duck" lol!

[@PMGF]

Now this is the History I never knew I wanted to study! Very Well Done!

[@amolkumargupta]

Peter II was assassinated, being run over by a Soviet car.

[@oxanaburdenkova2627]

Russian people love cats. Each family has one or two cats. We feed street cats which are hiding in the bottom of appartment buildings. Stop talking something what you do not know in a right way. Do you know about Kazan 🐱? Where is statue for him in Kazan.

[@mediocreman6323]

"Okay, you are responsible for keeping mice and rats away." "Meow?" "They keep doing harm to our government. Keep'em down. Do you understand now?" "Meow!" "Good - wait, _what do you want with the gun?!"_

[@neildahlgaard-sigsworth3819]

mediocre man most cats don't catch rats. However, rats won't go where cats are present.

[@finnishwehraboo8377]

Cat be like meow meow meow * sips tea * Translation= (Yes sir i shall shoot the german maus)

[@beepthemeep12]

I imagine this was how it went down with Humphrey

[@pipfoster7646]

You continue to serve our nation as our greatest historian.

[@Knuck_Knucks]

I've never heard of the "Intense Standoff" of Downing Street... Not sure how I missed that. Always appreciate you digging up these obscure war stories Mark!

[@janelane187]

this is the hard hitting investigative journalism i need

[@57thorns]

Seems everyone has to make a cat video these days. But this one was done in the exact style of the rest of the channels content, and contained real history lessons in keeping with the rest of the channel content. Easily a thumbs up.

[@stef4305]

This hit two of my loves: history and cats!

[@rjohnson1690]

I’m anxiously awaiting updates to the Larry/Palmerston feud. Hopefully an armistice can be arraignment can be brokered.

[@RFGfotografie]

I want a movie called Chief Mouser now. This is to funny yet intriguing.

[@markbenjamin1703]

The theme music goes really good with Larry montages

[@kimberleyr8952]

At least you can count on one trustworthy individual in Downing Street, Larry.

[@hoochpandersnatch5627]

The dramatic war music fits Larry prowling about perfectly 🥰

[@cdl0]

This is easily the best KZbin cat video of 2019. * * * * *

[@VideoLeakPolice]

My Chief Mouser is a 23 pounds big cat with 29 claws 8-7-7-7. Not fat but a big Pixie-Bob cat. Nothing survive to him. When there is a flying bug in the ceiling he cannot reach he cries like a baby.

[@timbaumann9046]

As a lifelong owner and lover of cats I must say that this was a VERY refreshing video! Thank You Mark for having a slightly off beat and completely "UN"military episode for once. Don't get me wrong here, I very much enjoy all your military themed videos... It's just nice to have a change of pace once in a while and I'm sure that I speak for ALL us FELINE lovers out here that we ALL VERY MUCH APPRECIATE you doing this! Oh, and a VERY belated "Happy New Year!" to you as well!!!

[@stumac869]

Simply brilliant and perfect end to the year.

[@gizzymeows5847]

This documentary deserves an award. Hilariously intriguing. 😂💯🔥🤗😻

[@kaiserofgermania5236]

I laughed so much hearing the intro video with a cat on the screen😂😂😂😂

[@retrovirus_exe]

Kaiser of Germania in which the intro video was intended for WW2 and/or Cold War topics Mein Kaiser

[@anchorbait6662]

"Went to live in the country" yeah that's what my parents said when my dog died.

[@jesper504]

Me: It's soon 2020 Mark: Lets talk about cats

[@SteakBoss1]

Larry is old now 😔 keep fit sir

[@hedzinkwly8099]

How is this not in The Crown?

[@cassandraralph5906]

Ah yes my favorite animal, the cat! Best video of the week! 👏👏👏

[@misolgit6986]

When I became a Postman early 70s, in theory, every Royal Mail sorting and delivery office had a cat 'on staff' for purposes of vermin control and usually was sourced by and fed by the union costs were reclaimed from a central fund

[@korbell1089]

You have discovered the secret to get around KZbin's demonetization of history videos, put cats in them! Cheers to a healthy new year and many more videos.

[@johnofnz]

It’s the first day of 2020, and I’m upvoting a cat video on KZbin...

[@greenpoloboy]

One thoroughly enjoyed this video whilst enjoying morning tea. x

[@JorgeUribe]

More Churchill voice impersonations, please!

[@celia6564]

This was absolutely delightful! I loved every moment. Thank you❤
