Yes...Larry the Cat is a 19-year-old brown-and-white tabby who has served as the official Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office at 10 Downing Street since February 2011. Adopted from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, he has famously outlasted six British Prime Ministers and become a beloved, permanent civil servant in Westminster.
Larry's official government duties include greeting guests, inspecting security defenses, testing antique furniture for napping quality, and contemplating solutions to the building's mouse occupancy. His life at Downing Street is not funded by taxpayers, but rather provided for voluntarily by the residence's staff.

Served on my Spode saucer if you please...😸
You want that canned or off the boat?
Did he chase the ball around the court?
Kek!
No, he just sat in the catbox.
Perhaps I should know, and maybe I do but forgot.
But who are those 5 sitting to his right (our left)?
😸
Germans.

At 19, contemplation of said mouse occupancy is likely all there will be. He's earned his retirement...
Must be a therapy cat.
Uh sorry, but who is Larry?
Looks like it is the cat. Look at the medallion on his neck.
Yep, I see that now. I kept looking at the man front and center.
